Following the TFSD Board of Trustees' decision to convert Bickel Elementary School to a complete Dual Immersion magnet school, the TFSD is working to ensure that all remaining questions are addressed before the 2025-26 school year. The most pressing question is how to address the students residing within the current Bickel school zone.
We want to ensure that you have an opportunity to participate in this process. To help with this, we will hold a meeting at Bickel Elementary School on February 25 at 6 p.m. This meeting will provide time for families to learn about the options for changing the attendance zones and ask questions.
When: February 25, 6 p.m.
Where: Bickel Elementary School Cafeteria, 607 2nd Ave E, Twin Falls, ID 83301
The TFSD Administrative Team has reviewed the current boundaries and evaluated student numbers in this area. Based on the student population and the layout of busy streets in Twin Falls, there appear to be some logical divisions where the new zone boundaries might make sense. In addition to the parent meeting, the TFSD Administrative Team and Board of Trustees would like to gather written feedback from families that would be affected by this change. Please take a moment to review the proposed zone boundary map below and follow this link to share your thoughts. Please note that boundaries should be logical, keep neighborhoods together as much as possible, and ensure the safety of students.
The form will close on Thursday, February 27 to allow adequate time for the Board of Trustees to review the comments in advance of their March 3 School Board Meeting.
