FHS is hiring!

Starting in October application fees are waived for students planning on attending a Minnesota State College or University. If you are thinking about heading off to further your education after high school now is the time to apply. When you apply you are not committed to attending the university but the application starts the process for colleges to contact you concerning scholarships, financial aid and programs. It is suggested that you apply to more than one college because different colleges will offer you different financial packages so you know how much college will cost you out of pocket. Once you know how much and what the college offers you are free to accept their offer. It is at this time that you are committing to attend their establishment.

ISD 361 Parents, Guardians, and Staff, Law Enforcement was notified of an active shooter at Falls High School this afternoon and immediately contacted the high school to lock down. Falls Elementary was also locked down. Resource officer was in the building and immediately went to the location that was reported and was backed up by city, county, and other agencies very quickly. I thank all the responding agencies. Room by room Falls High School was cleared and then released to the arena. Once the building was cleared, we allowed student to be picked up and leave. We apologize for the agonizing wait, but need to assure the area is safe and coordinate the release. Buildings were again checked following the release of students and are now open for activities if coaches and advisors want to practice. Students are allowed to come and get any items from lockers and custodians will let students into classrooms if they need items out of classrooms. School will run as usual on Thursday, September 22. We are being informed by law enforcement that there were other schools across the state that received the same threat or hoax. Thank you for your patience. - Superintendent Kevin Grover

Falls High School is locked down due to a call that came into law enforcement of a shooter at Falls High School. There have been no shots and there are no signs of a shooter. Law enforcement is clearing Falls High School room by room to the Arena and we will dismiss from there once we are cleared. Falls Elementary is locked down as a preventative measure. Another message will come when parents are able to come to the arena or elementary to pick students up. Buses will be running if students are to ride a bus.

School will be in session tomorrow, Tuesday, September 13.  The International Falls School District, along with our third-party incident response team, is continuing to investigate a potential cyber incident relating to our computer systems.  Our files have NOT been encrypted but we have voluntarily shut down certain systems to allow us to investigate the impact and ensure our ongoing security.   Skyward will be offline tomorrow, but all other systems will be functioning.   Despite this disruption, we are happy to report that school will be in session tomorrow, Tuesday September 13th.  We appreciate your patience and understanding and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience as a result of today’s closure.   Any questions can be directed to Superintendent Kevin Grover at (218)-283-2571 ext. 1112 or via email at kgrover@isd361.org.

No School for ISD 361 on Monday September 12, 2022 The International Falls School District is currently experiencing issues with our network that are causing a disruption to some of our computer systems. We are working diligently with a third-party incident response team to investigate this matter and restore full functionality to our systems as quickly as possible. We have significant resources devoted to this process and our work to resolve this issue is ongoing. As a result of such systems operations issues, we will not be in session on Monday, September 12th. We appreciate your patience and understanding and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Any questions can be directed to Superintendent Kevin Grover at (218)-283-2571 ext. 1112 or via email at kgrover@isd361.org There are no issues if students use their Chromebooks or log onto our system. Skyward and other platforms may not be functioning as they should as we work to address the situation. One step in this process will require all users to reset their passwords when they log back onto the system and this will be forced upon log in. We are working as quickly as possible to be back at operational capacity. Further information will come on Monday. Extracurricular practices and activities may take place as scheduled.

Great way to end the 1st week! Thanks John.
