Dear Timberline High School Parents & Guardians, 

Due to the current rise in COVID-19 cases in Ada County, our school, along with the other Boise School District High Schools, has made the decision to suspend summer athletic practices and workouts. As of June 26, 2020, we have four confirmed positive COVID-19 cases and four probable cases throughout our athletic programs.

This action taken now, will improve our chances that scheduled fall practices and games may resume in August.

It is important as a community that we do all that we can to mitigate the spread of the virus. With that in mind, please practice these measures from Central District Health:

•  Wear a face covering in public

•  Keep at least six feet of physical distance from others

•  Keep hands and surfaces clean

•  Stay home if you’re sick, even if symptoms are mild

Below are resources for information on COVID-19 prevention, symptom checking, what to do if you think you are sick, and when to consider getting tested:
