Shop for Borah!

Did you know a new thrift store has recently opened up in Downtown Coeur d'Alene that supports our local schools? The Coeur d'Alene Exchange, located at 849 N 4th St, has already given back to schools in our district including Borah. If you are interested in supporting Borah through the CDA Exchange, you can donate items and mention Borah's name (we get credit once your items sell) or purchase items in their store and mention Borah's name. It's that easy! While in their store, you can also vote for your favorite teacher and if their name is drawn, the teacher will win a $50 Staples Gift Card!

Common Core is Coming!

Common Core State Standards are coming soon. Teachers have already begun many different trainings on switching from Idaho State Standards to Common Core Standards and implementing CCSS in their classrooms. CCSS will be taught in all classrooms beginning the 2013-2014 school year and students will be assessed accordingly at the end of the 2014-2015 school year. For more information on CCSS, visit the following links:
