South Hills Middle School Families, We want to provide an update regarding our phone service. The phones at South Hills Middle School will be down for at least the remainder of the day due to the damaged fiber optic line. We will continue to keep you updated and will share additional information shortly about how to best communicate with the school while repairs are underway. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

South Hills Middle School Families, We want to let you know that a fiber optic cable near the school was cut earlier today, which has temporarily taken down our phone service. Classes are continuing as normal, and students are safe. If you have an emergency need to reach the school, please call the District Office at 208-733-6900, and we will relay your message to South Hills Middle School. We will update you as soon as phone service is restored. Thank you for your understanding.

🏆 The Twin Falls Girls Team took 1st place, including Ellie Willie and Lillymarie Gonzalez!

🥈 The Twin Falls Mixed Team earned 2nd place in the boys division, with an outstanding performance by Enzo De La Cruz!

I submitted a request for Winco to help with funding our PAWS store. They sent us $500 in gift cards! Shop your local Winco. :)
