Twin Falls School District

Congratulations Jennifer Pauley, a kindergarten teacher at Harrison Elementary, for being Certified Employee of the Month for November! Jennifer, a Twin Falls native, began teaching because of the inspiration from all the amazing teachers who made learning fun for her. Her best day on the job is when the seniors come back through the school. She feels seeing how they have grown and remember where they started is so much fun. She draws inspiration from the excitement in a student’s face when they finally understand something. Her pet peeve is eye-rolling and she is mortified to speak in front of a group of adults. The word that best describes her is she is passionate. Her favorite hobby is gardening and her number one activity on her bucket list is to see the ocean. Jennifer would like to be remembered as a kind, warm-hearted individual who loved being a teacher. Principal Note: Harrison Elementary is lucky to have Jen Pauley on staff. She cares about all of our students and does everything she can to make sure that they know they are loved. It is not uncommon to see her walking down the hall and students of every grade stop her and say hi or get a hug. Jen will go above and beyond to help anyone and truly has the biggest heart. She helps all of our staff with EdHub and has been a mentor and leader in our kindergarten team. She is focused and dedicated and this honor is so well deserved. Thank you Jen Pauley from all of the staff, students, parents, and especially the administration of Harrison.

🦋✨ At CRHS, Ms. Linn’s sophomores are diving deep into the topic of symbolism as they prepare to read "Night". Each student was assigned an individual Holocaust victim and received a “passport” containing their victim's photograph, name, birthdate, and location. Using this information, the students are creating symbolic butterflies that will adorn our bulletin board. 🌼 #CRHS #Symbolism #RememberingLives #history

Leading up to Election Day, you'll see posts from the TFSD regarding the Supplemental Levy. We hope these posts provide information so that all community members can make an informed decision on election day. Where do I vote? At your regular polling place. To determine your polling place or for more information about absentee voting, please visit voteidaho.gov or call the Twin Falls County Clerk at 208-736-4004. The estimated average annual cost to the taxpayer on the proposed levy is a tax of $91 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value, per year, based on current conditions. The proposed levy replaces an existing levy that expires on June 30, 2025 and that currently costs $72 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. Therefore, if the proposed levy is approved, the tax per $100,000 of taxable assessed value is expected to increase by $19 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. To put it in perspective, the estimated tax impact of the proposed levy equates to $7.58 per month for every $100,000 of taxable property value (after homeowners exemption). This would be an increase of $1.58 per month per $100,000 of taxable value from the current levy rate. To learn more about the supplemental levy, visit https://www.tfsd.org/supplemental-levy/

Leading up to Election Day, you'll see posts from the TFSD regarding the Supplemental Levy. We hope these posts provide information so that all community members can make an informed decision on election day. How will the levy improve our community? Maintaining a quality education system will contribute to the economic development of our community and will help prepare the future workforce our community needs. The community’s continued support of education is one of the major factors that make Twin Falls an attractive place to live. In addition, many local businesses have struggled to recruit skilled workers. Continuing to improve education in Twin Falls will provide a “home-grown” workforce.
