Daily Moment of Silence

Beginning this school year, all Twin Falls School District schools will observe a 60-second moment of silence at the start of each school day, as required by a new Idaho law.


In accordance with the law, teachers and school staff will not provide instruction or guidance about how students should use this time. We encourage families to discuss this with their children and decide together how they would like to use this brief moment each morning.


Our goal is to provide a calm, respectful start to the school day.
