Back to School

This CSI event in Gooding has two of my favorite words - Free and Food!

Today is the day for McCash for Kids! It is a great event to support kids in need while also getting a good dinner. Here is everything you need to know about the event.

There is right around a month left of summer vacation for most students around the Magic Valley. So, here are 5 things you have to do before the school year begins!

Holy cow - school starts in just a few weeks in Twin Falls! Have you crammed in all the things you and your kids wanted to do during the summer?

Teachers can save on select school supplies but have to register to get the coupon code which can be used in store or online.

A young girl at South Hills Middle School in Twin Falls brought home notes from a bully this week saying she should kill herself and that nobody likes her.

Twin Falls has a driving problem. That's not news. But, there is a sense of urgency that we address a specific problem that involves some Twin Falls drivers not slowing down in school zones when students are present.

The police are currently investigating reports of suspicious activity near bus stops in the Twin Falls School District.

The first day of school is barely a week away and South Hills Middle School is opening their doors for a first look at the new building.

Here's a sign of the times we live in. You used to have to get a job and save money to pay your way through college. Now, it is easier (and sometimes more profitable) to create a crowd-sourcing plea and see if internet users will pay your way through life.

Ten years ago you could probably buy your children's school supplies for under $40. If you use coupons and shop at 3 or 4 stores you might be able to buy your children's school supplies for under $40 this year. However, most Twin Falls parents report spending between $60 to $100 per child this year on school supplies.

The first official day of school for Twin Falls schools is August 18th, 2016. Here's your handy list of school supplies for Twin Falls area schools.

As you start your back to school shopping, here's a reminder about the Twin Falls School District dress code.

Twin Falls students and teachers are getting excited for the new school year - and for many, that year will be in a brand new school!

With the opening of Pillar Falls Elementary, Rock Creek Elementary, and South Hills Middle School - the next school year is going to be a lot different for many Twin Falls students, parents, and teachers.

Now that school has begun, it's time to talk about dress codes. Many students have been sent home in the last week due to inappropriate prints on t-shirts, short skirts or shorts and facial piercings.

The first few weeks of school can be rough. The days are long, your kids don't want to go to bed before 9pm, and you don't want to wake them up at 6:30am. This begs the question: Is it just hard for the kids to wake up for the first few weeks, or does school start too early?

With Twin Falls schools starting earlier this year, the first day of school is going to be here before you know it. If you want to avoid sell outs, it's time to get school supply shopping.
