The Twin Falls Police Department has asked us to remind families that the streets surrounding O’Leary Middle School are designated school zones during posted times. This includes Eastland Drive between the posted school-zone signs, as well as Elizabeth Boulevard from Eastland Drive through and past the school.
Please slow down and pay close attention to the posted school-zone signs and speed limits when traveling through these areas. TFPD has informed us that officers will be enforcing the school-zone speed limit, and drivers who are speeding may be ticketed.
With students walking, biking, crossing streets, and arriving or leaving campus throughout the day, even a small reduction in speed can make an important difference in keeping everyone safe.
Thank you for helping us keep the area around O’Leary safe for our students, families, and staff.
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.
Survey Link: https://polco.us/s75ucp
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

Come join us!
