BTW: Students attending the Prom on April 6, please remember the procedures for purchasing tickets and bringing a guest.

             Students must present their school ID card at the time of purchase, if buying a couple’s ticket, both ID cards are required.  If you are bringing a guest, a guest pass must be signed by an administrator before  a ticket can be

             sold.  If you are purchasing a ticket the door that night, the procedures are the same.  You must have your ID card and if you want your guest to get in, a guest pass must be approved by Friday at the latest. 

BTW:  Detailed in the Twin Falls School District Policy Manual, it is against district policy to take pictures or video of any person on school grounds without their permission. 

                        This past week we’ve a couple of issues of this happening and being posted on social media.  Proper use of a personal electronic device at school is outlined in the Network Use Agreement that every student signed when first enrolled in the district.

BTW:  A positive school climate develops when its members look after each other and assist each other when needed.

                        Students: some of your classmates are experiencing difficult times, if you know of someone in need, please tell a staff member, counselor or administrator. 

BTW:  Unfortunately, theft is on the rise at Twin Falls High School. Students……please protect your property by making sure they are secure at all times.

                        Several Air Pods have been taken recently and phones are a popular item as well.  Always keep control of your own backpack and if have to leave it, such as in PE, lock it up in your school locker.

BTW: Remember the schedule change for Thursday, we will start the day with an extended Advisory.

                        The purpose of the extended time is for the Freshmen and Sophomores to prep for the ISAT by doing an interim assessment.  This assessment will allow the students to practice the skills  they will use in April.

                        The Juniors and Seniors will have the opportunity to practice for their Senior Project presentations in March
