Check the current and forecasted air quality status for our area online at Airnow.gov. Or during wildfire smoke, go to https://wasmoke.blogspot.com/ for status updates. (This is the only monitoring site that will be used by the Starbuck School District.)

Decisions for outdoor activity are made by the Superintendent for recesses (or outdoor events during the school day) and for after-school outdoor sports/activity practice or contests. Sensitive groups or students experiencing adverse symptoms should see the school district Administrative Assistant (Mrs. Connie Fox-Boyer) during school and their teacher/supervisor if after school. The school has masks available for students and staff. If you have questions or need further clarification, please get in touch with the Superintendent's office at 509-399-2381.
