No School Tomorrow!
A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Parents,
The fourth and final quarter of the school year has gotten off to a great start. Progress reports from the 3rd quarter have been posted to Skyward Family Access. Please login and review your child’s progress. Directions to do this have been provided in the email you received today. If you have any questions about your child’s progress report, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
Congratulations to students and staff who are participating in the state Forward assessment. Our students have been working hard and demonstrating amazing perseverance as they have taken this assessment. We also appreciate the parental support of our 3rd through 5th grade students by avoiding all unnecessary absences during the testing period. Today was the last scheduled session of testing for each grade level. Over the next two weeks, we will be doing any make-ups or completions of testing.
As indicated last week, our PTO is looking for officers for the PTO board for next year. We do have nominations for President and Vice President. We are still looking for volunteers for the secretary position. Please reach out to the current PTO board if you are interested.
There is no school tomorrow due to the holiday weekend. Have a great long weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Brittany Kleeba, Assistant Principal

Hearing Screenings:
We will soon be offering hearing screenings to our students in the 4K, 5K, 1st, 3rd & 5th-grade classrooms. Additionally, any students that are new to the district, along with any 2nd and/or 4th-grade students that are referred by their teachers for testing, will also be screened.
Performing annual hearing screenings allows for an opportunity to find those students that may be experiencing hearing loss that has not yet have been detected. Catching these potential hearing impairments early will allow for prompt intervention, if necessary, and help our students continue to be successful learners in the classroom. We NEED VOLUNTEERS please sign-up!

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.
