Update: Timberline–Kuna Homecoming Football Game Canceled

​

Tuesday, October 6, 2026

Dear Boise School District Families and Staff,

After careful deliberation, the Boise School District has decided to cancel this week’s Homecoming football game between Timberline and Kuna, which we announced earlier today would be postponed. The game will not be rescheduled, and Timberline will forfeit the game.

Given the seriousness of the circumstances involving recent student social media posts and ongoing concerns about student safety and well-being, we believe cancellation is the most responsible decision. Our priority is ensuring students and staff are safe and supported while providing the Timberline school community time to process what has occurred.

As announced earlier today, the Homecoming Dance will proceed as scheduled. Student Council expressed a desire to keep the dance, and we have determined that this tradition can continue with additional security measures. Security personnel, our School Resource Officer (SRO), and additional law enforcement will be present. The dance will take place in a controlled indoor space without spectators, allowing for more closely managed access and supervision than a football stadium.

We recognize the disappointment this cancellation brings to our football players, band members, cheerleaders, other student groups, and the many families and supporters who were looking forward to celebrating together. We appreciate the time, effort, and school spirit our students, coaches, advisers, and staff have invested in Homecoming.

We are working to reschedule all other postponed Homecoming activities and will share an announcement when further information is available.

Thank you for your understanding as we work through this difficult time together. Students who need support are encouraged to reach out to a school counselor or trusted adult.

Sincerely,

Chad Wright, Timberline Principal
Shelley Bonds, Area Director
Wendy Johnson, Superintendent
