Quillayute Valley School District Calendar 2026-2027

Forks is separated from larger population centers by rainforest, mountains and long coastal roads. Quillayute Valley School District gives West End families a local sequence through Forks Elementary, Forks Middle and Forks High School, keeping most daily education within the community. Weather, transportation and distance make that continuity especially important for students who would otherwise travel far for basic services and activities.

The district maintains a Title VI Native Support coordinator within its student-support staff. The role is designed to identify tribally enrolled students who need additional help, monitor progress, connect families with referrals and keep family involvement part of educational planning. Based at Forks High School and working across the district, the coordinator gives Native students and families a named point of contact as school demands change. Support follows the individual student and family across the West End's distinct tribal communities.

Forks High School connects the West End's working economy with its cultural and civic life. Culinary learning, drama, athletics and technical courses give students public roles in a town shaped by forestry, fishing, tourism and health services. Community partners also help with practical needs; local health organizations have supported access to sports physicals and other services that can be difficult to obtain across a remote area.

HomeSchool Plus offers another public-school relationship for families seeking home-centered learning. Its teachers and planning support remain connected to the district, while the ordinary three-school route continues to anchor most children in Forks. The same system serves students who reach school by long rural bus rides and families whose classroom is primarily at home.
