Thorson Thursday Folder

Go-Pack-Go Friday!! Wear your Packer Jerseys/T-Shirts!
A Note from the Principal:
Dear Thorson Families,
We have had a successful second week of school! Students are excited to be here and are learning new things every day. As part of our schoolwide PBIS program, we have weekly Jaguar Jumpstarts, which are short all-school meetings that celebrate our students and staff and teach about our monthly character traits. Our Jaguar Jumpstarts will be held virtually, with our first one occurring tomorrow via live Google Meet. For the month of September, we are focusing on the character traits of Respect and Responsibility.
At Thorson, we are lucky to have an active PTO that is incredibly supportive of our school community. We encourage families to get involved with our PTO by attending meetings, volunteering, and supporting the various events the PTO hosts. Our first PTO meeting is on Monday, September 13. This meeting will be held virtually at 7:00 p.m. In addition, we have our first Dining for Dollars event next week on Tuesday, September 14 at Wayne’s Drive-In. Not only can you have a great meal and support our PTO at the same time, but you can also have the chance to dunk one of our amazing staff members! See the flyer in this Thursday Folder for more information.
Finally, please remember that in a face covering -optional environment with full access to our high-quality in-person learning, the best tool to prevent the spread of illness is through diligent monitoring of symptoms, testing and taking personal responsibility. This responsibility includes keeping your student home when they are feeling ill. It is imperative that we all do our part to maintain a safe and healthy environment for all. Here is a link to the 2021-2022 School Year Mitigation Strategies on the CSD website. All families who use Riteway bus transportation, please remember that students are required to wear masks on the bus. Thank you for your support and partnership.
Have a wonderful weekend and we look forward to a great second half of September!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal

I've listed how many students we have attending each session. If you have flexibility in which meeting you can attend, I would recommend trying to come to a smaller meeting. If you'd like to switch times, please email me so I can keep track of attendance.
At this meeting, we will review our elementary band program, scheduling, and instrument rental options. Also, students will be able to try out their top three instruments to help select the best instrument for them.
