Dear TFSD Families and Staff,
In the wake of the Canyon West shooting on August 1, the City of Twin Falls is leading a community-wide effort to facilitate recovery and support our town.
As part of this initiative, the city has created a survey to better understand which supports and resources are most needed. As a community partner, the Twin Falls School District is sharing this survey and encourages all of our staff and families to take a few moments to complete it.

We remain committed to partnering with the City of Twin Falls throughout this restorative process to ensure our students, staff, and families receive the care and resources they need.
Thank you for your participation and ongoing support of our community.
Sincerely,
Twin Falls School District Administration

Rock Creek Pick-Up and Drop-Off Procedures
We have nearly 600 students at our school, and safety is our highest priority. Please take a moment to carefully review the pick-up and drop-off guidelines designed to keep both students and staff safe.
To ensure the safety of all students and keep traffic flowing smoothly, please follow these important procedures:
Pull forward as far as possible in the drop-off/pick-up lane. If a staff member signals you to move forward, please follow their direction.
Always use the crosswalk for your safety and to model safe behavior for students.
Do not let students exit from the left lane. This is unsafe.
The side parking lot and bus lane are for buses only. Do not use this area for drop-off or pick-up.
Be respectful and courteous to others during busy times. Our children are watching!
Only park in handicap spaces if you have a valid permit. These spaces are reserved for those who truly need them.
Never leave your vehicle unattended in the drop-off lane.
Parents must remain outside the gate. You're welcome to wait behind the fence and observe, but please do not enter the playground.
If someone else is dropping off or picking up your child, please share these procedures with them.
Thank you for your cooperation! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the school administration.

We are just a few days away from the official start of the 2026–2027 school year. Get those backpacks packed, outfits picked out, and alarms set. We can't wait to see all of our TFSD students back in the classrooms next week!
Check your school's website for the exact bell schedule, and get ready for an amazing year! 📚✨
