Thorp Families,
Our Spring Scholastic Book Fair is next week. If you would like to set up an e-wallet for your child, the preview flier with instructions was sent home with students today. On Monday, students will get the opportunity to preview the books. Sales will begin on Tuesday and end on Friday.
We will be resending the Thorp Communications Survey at the end of the year. Please take a look at our presentation about steps we have taken based on the first quarter survey. This also includes updated orientation information for all grade levels. We will be posting orientation information on the website soon so you know what is expected for your children for this fall. Here is a recording that Mr. Toledo did explaining the presentation.
Funstitute Registration will be sent out next Friday. We are still awaiting Kick Off to Kindergarten information from the City.
Next Friday, April 11th, is our 7th grade Women’s History Assembly. Parent visitation hours have been emailed out. If you have any questions, please email David Araujo at [email protected].
The fastest way to make an appointment with anyone from the office is emailing [email protected]. Due to scheduling, same day appointments may not be available. If the matter is urgent, we encourage you to text 312.600.7112.
We have staff monitor the employee parking lot at arrival and dismissal. As stated before, this area is OFF LIMITS for parents dropping off and picking up children. Please show respect to the staff doing this, as this was an administrative decision.
Once students are dismissed at the end of the day, they will not be allowed back into the building to get a meal or use the bathroom. We understand that with the warmer weather, you want your child to play on the playground, however for safety reasons, they can’t be readmitted.
The Thorp Mariachi students will be performing the pre-game music for the Chicago Wolves on April 19th at the Allstate Arena. If you are interested in attending, you can purchase tickets on the link below.
