Thorp Families,
Keep an eye out for MTSS letters. They will be sent to parents via email this weekend.
There is NO SCHOOL on Tuesday due to a Staff Development Day.
Next Friday is our 3rd-4th grade Black History Month Assembly. There will be two shows, one at
8:30 am and one at 1:15 pm. Parents, we hope to see you at one of our shows. However, If you are unable to attend, we will record the show and post it to the website.
Thorp Families - It is not necessary to call or email the office when your children are not feeling well and will be missing class. Please enter the absence into the Parent Portal (ASPEN) and we will update it in the system.
As a reminder, the teacher parking lot is CLOSED for parents. This is a major safety concern during arrival and dismissal, as staff needs to enter the building. We have received reports of parents getting angry with staff trying to park. Please model appropriate behavior for our children.
The District has launched its annual School Food Survey, which is open through Friday, March 21.
Next Week:
Thursday February 27th-DL Parent meeting 5:00-6:00 pm in the school library
Friday February 28th-3rd-4th Grade Black History Month Assembly 8:30 a.m & 1:15 pm
From the Thorp Library
Hello Thorp Families,
As you might have heard the exciting news, the Thorp Library will be reopening, which means students can visit and check out books--YAY!!! Also, the school will also be ordering some new books as we evaluate the current collection and we would like your opinion on what books to order. We are invested in building lifelong readers. We want to make sure we have books that appeal to students and also introduce them to books they might not be acquainted with. This is a survey to find out what books students have read and enjoyed along with books they would be interested in reading in the future (or you as parents would be interested in them reading).
Here are the surveys for Parents, Students and Faculty:
Family Library Survey: https://forms.gle/MWRah4cc7eKcFwsM9
Students Library Survey: https://forms.gle/RwWJEUzXTgJjgqvx5
Staff Library Survey: https://forms.gle/Pn2er7GChrNk6NKc8
Thank you! Ms. Biela (Thorp Library)
P.S. One survey for the whole family is a-okay. You don't need to fill out one for each child.
