Birth Certificate on File: All students attending the public school must have their birth certificate on file in the school. Idaho Code requires that each student have a certified copy of the birth certificate. If you do not have this record on file, please plan to do so.

Proof of Immunization: The Idaho Code requires that updated immunization records be presented prior to enrollment in our school. Please be sure your child is properly immunized before enrolling in school. Without proof of immunization we cannot enroll any child.

New this year, A Moment of Silence:
In accordance with a new Idaho state law, all TFSD schools will implement a 60-second moment of silence at the start of each school day. In alignment with this legislation, classroom teachers will not provide instruction or guidance regarding the purpose or use of this time. We ask that parents and caregivers take the lead in having conversations with their children about how your family would like them to utilize this quiet moment to prepare for the school day.


Sincerely,

Amy McBride
Principal
Robert Stuart Middle School

Thank you for helping us finalize our routes on time and ensure a smooth first week of school for all students.

Dear TFSD Families,

This is a quick reminder to submit your Bus Service Registration form for the upcoming school year.

Our transportation team is already hard at work analyzing data to create the most effective routes for our community. If your student will need a bus seat this fall, we need your information in our system to include them in the route planning. If you have already filled out the form for the 226-27 school year, you are all set!

Deadline to register: July 31

Note: Late registrations may result in longer wait times or overcrowded buses.

Thank you for your prompt response!

Stewie, our mascot, has been enjoying his summer break. We hope our Stuart family can sneak in a few adventures this summer.

Dear TFSD Families,

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we need your help to understand where students will be riding the bus to school. Today, we are officially opening the Bus Service Registration for the 2026-2027 school year.

Why this matters: We design our bus routes every year based on the families who sign up. Even if your child rode the bus last year, you must fill out this form so we can accurately map stops and keep ride times as short as possible.

Deadline to register: July 31

If you plan to drive your student, carpool, or if they will walk, you do not need to complete the form. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school community moving efficiently.

Recently, two of our staff members received awards! Taylor Hall was the recipient of the Secondary Playmaker of the Year award at the Twin Falls Education Foundation's annual Red Apple Gala and Amy McBride received Prinicipal of the Year at the annual Idaho Middle School Level Association conference. Congratulations!
