School Hours
Monday: 8:00AM to 2:00PM
Tuesday - Friday: 8:00AM to 3:00PM
Breakfast opens at 7:35 AM daily and supervision on the playground begins at 7:35 AM.
The safety of our students is very important to us, please do not drop students off at school before 7:35 AM and be timely picking them up at the end of the day.
Attendance Matters
Studies show that students who miss even a few days of school each month are at far greater risk of academic failure and dropout than students who attend regularly.
*Students with chronic absences (students who miss 10% or more days school is in session) will receive attendance letters through email and communication from the Assistant Principal, Ms. Snyder. Possible recommendation to truancy court can take place for chronic absences, especially those that are not verified.
Bus Scan Cards: The Twin Falls School District is implementing scan cards for all elementary school bus riders. These cards will be attached to your child’s backpack. As they board the bus, they will scan the card and when they get off the bus, they will scan again. This will allow you to see where and when your student entered and left the bus. You can access this information on the My Ride K-12 app that has replaced the Ride 360 app.
You can download the My Ride K-12 app on the App Store or Google Play Store. You will need your
child’s student ID number in order to link your student to your App. If you need this information, contact your school.
We look forward to using this system for the remainder of the year and in coming years to help provide another layer of safety for all students. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.
Lost & Found: Please remind your students to keep track of their coats and other items such as gloves, hats, and water bottles. Unclaimed items will be donated after school is let out for the year.
Spirit Gear: Rock Creek wear can be purchased through the link. Follow the link HERE to place an order.
Drop Off & Pick Up Procedures: We know this can be a source of frustration. When dropping off and picking up your student, please pull as far forward as possible each day. It is important to remind family or friends about this if they are picking up your students. Never get out of your car in the pick up/drop off lane during those times. This helps keep the flow of traffic moving and cuts down on back-ups. Avoid letting your students out in the left lane. This is for safety. Again, please reminder family members and friends about the procedures as well if they will be picking up your students.
Dress Code: The weather is getting warmer! Please ensure your student adheres to the dress code. Clothing should cover the torso from armpit to armpit and extend down to mid-thigh. Tops must have shoulder straps that are at least two inches in width. See-through, torn, or mesh garments must have appropriate coverage underneath that meets the minimum requirements described above. These are the most common violations we see. You may be asked to bring a change of clothes if your student is not dressed appropriately.
