The Colville School District uses an online format to collect important information for students each school year. This is a yearly-required process and is open now. Guardians need to log into Skyward and complete this process as soon as possible. You may use your student’s school issued device for this purpose. If you have questions or you need assistance, please contact your students’ school office. Thank you!

Today, April 12, 2023, at approximately 10:56 AM many schools throughout Washington received a bomb threat email. Colville School District received this email. At no time did we believe that students or staff were in jeopardy. Our district security director was immediately in contact with other security directors throughout the state. We notified dispatch and had the building administration check their facilities. At this time it is believed to be a hoax. We take every situation seriously and our student and staff safety is paramount. Please contact our District Office at 509-684-7850 if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!

SNOW MAKE-UP DAY: School was canceled on November 30th due to inclement weather. This year, make-up days will be added to the end of the year, which makes June 12th our new last day of school, and is an early release day. June 9th, the original last day, will be a full day. Presidents’ Day weekend remains a four day weekend with no school from this Friday, February 17th through Monday February 20th. If you have any questions, please call your student’s school office. The Colville School District would like to apologize for the late notice regarding the makeup day for the snow cancellation. The February 17th day could not be used due to a conflict between staff calendars. In the future, all school cancellation days will be clearly marked on the district calendar and communicated clearly with parents as soon as possible after the school cancellation.
