A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
Bus Driver Appreciation week is February 14-18. If your child is a bus rider, please consider sending a quick note or card to your child’s bus driver(s) expressing gratitude for the daily safe transport of our children. Also, please continue to make sure that your child has a mask everyday if they ride the bus! The students (and families) have been doing a GREAT job of remembering this. We appreciate your attention to this!
Our optional parent/teacher conferences are coming up next week on Thursday, February 17. If you would like to sign up for a conference to discuss your child’s progress, please do so in Skyward Family Access by Tuesday, February 15. The conference scheduler will be closed after this date. Here are the directions for this. Please also remember that AMP teachers Mr. Kroenke, Mrs. Ward, and Mrs. Miller will only be available for conferences at Westlawn on the evening of conferences.
Students in 3rd-5th grade will be taking the Wisconsin Forward Exam in April. Our testing window will tentatively be April 4-19. Please mark these dates down and ensure that your child will be at school during this testing window. If you already know of planned absence for your child during this timeframe, please let the school office know right away so that we can plan accordingly for make-up sessions. More information regarding the assessment and the exact testing dates will be sent in the near future.
At Thorson, we love animals and pets, but for the health and safety of all,they are not allowed on school property. This includes drop-off and pick-up times. Please do not bring your pet with you onto school property when you drop off or pick up your child. Thank you for adhering to this important guideline.
Have a wonderful Valentine’s and Super Bowl weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Brittany Kleeba, Assistant Principal

Riteway Buses
Students are not allowed to ride on a different bus route home with other students. If you are on the same bus route you may ride with another student with a parent note. Please make sure to follow these Riteway policies.
Masks Mandatory on all CSD Bus Routes
Federal regulations require that face masks be worn by all passengers and employees on board all buses. If your student is being transported on one of our routes, please ensure your student has a mask. Students will not be able to board a bus without wearing a mask. If your student chooses not to wear a mask while at school, they may remove the mask after exiting the bus.
Green Team
Help the Thorson Green Team by turning your Coca-Cola product purchases into donations to Thorson. You can donate by going to coke.com/give/schools and selecting Thorson Elementary. Then scan or enter product codes from participating products. Codes are located on the inside of caps or printed inside cardboard cases. If you don't have the time, please bring the codes to school and put them in the RED bucket inside the front doors. Donations received will be used to fund Green Team projects at Thorson.
Thorson is renewing its interest in the Crayola ColorCycle program. This program converts old markers into energy as well as wax compounds for asphalt and roofing shingles. The process repurposes the entire marker, regardless of the different kinds of plastics or how they are assembled. ALL brands of markers, highlighters and dry erase markers can be recycled. Markers can be placed in the WHITE bucket near the front doors or in the GREEN buckets throughout the building.
Absent/Late Arrival-
If you are going to be late or absent, please call the Thorson attendance line at 262-376-6766 before 9:00 a.m. Please state your student's first and last name, teacher, and the reason for the absence. If you are going to be late and are taking hot lunch, please let us know your child's lunch choice by calling the school office at 262-376-6705.
