FUN FRIDAY!!!

We have had two very successful Fun Friday attendance celebrations! To ensure your student can attend these celebrations, please have them at school on time at 8:00 am and verify all absences with a communication to the teacher or office.

CELL PHONES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES (including smart watches)

Parents...we are having problems with students being called during the day - by parents - on their cell phones and smart watches. Please read the Sawtooth policy below!

Students are prohibited from using electronic communication and entertainment devices on school grounds during school hours. This includes cell phones, smart watches, tablets, or any other communication device. Devices must be powered off and secured in the student’s backpack during the school day. Parents may not call their child’s cell phone or other electronic devices during school hours.

Classroom phones will be used for parent-child communication as deemed necessary by the

teacher. Any electronic device used or powered on (including call watches) during school hours may be confiscated until parents pick it up from the office.

National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Food/Hygiene Items Drive - November 6 - 17, 2022

Sawtooth Elementary has always been a major contributor to the food pantries in the Twin Falls School District. Please help us once again contribute to our community with non-perishable food and hygiene items. 100% of the items stay right here in our school district and our community. Items can be sent to school with your student. If you have a large amount to deliver, please call the office to make an appointment.
