Wear Thorson Spirtwear
A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
As Dr. Clark shared in his email yesterday, our school followed our severe weather safety protocols during the tornado warning that occurred on Wednesday. Staff took immediate action and made the experience safe and comfortable for students. Staff and students did an incredible job responding to this severe weather alert. I am so proud of all of them.
Tomorrow we will have our second all-school Jaguar Jumpstart in the gym. We will begin promptly at 8:50 a.m. Students and staff are encouraged to wear Thorson spiritwear or school colors.
Starting on Monday, band lessons will be held in the Community Room. Students should enter the building at Door 14, which is the furthest entry door on the north side of the front of the building by the 4K rooms. Please drop your child off at this door for their band lesson.
Last week Friday, October 7, our teachers engaged in professional development around our new assessment tool, iReady. We had iReady trainers teaching us how to dig deeply into student data in order to inform our instruction. In the afternoon, teacher groups had time to dig into their data and form their student learning goal for the year. Thank you for supporting this very meaningful time for our teachers.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Scott May, Assistant Principal

Cold Weather
With winter weather quickly approaching please remind your student(s) to dress appropriately for outdoor recesses. If possible, it would be beneficial to keep an extra pair of gloves and a hat in their backpack.
Student Council
Thorson is looking for fourth and fifth-grade student leaders who are interested in helping our school and community. Any fourth or fifth grade student may join the student council who feels he/she shows the responsibility and leadership skills that a student leader should possess. Please see this information sheet for more details and meeting dates. Students who are interested in becoming student council members need to fill out this form by Friday, October 14th.
Beginning Band Lessons
5th grade beginning band lessons will be starting next week! Please refer to this schedule regarding which instruments will meet at what time on which days. Students will receive their instruments/supplies at their first lesson, and will be learning how to assemble and take care of their instruments. Students, please bring something to work on to keep yourself busy after your lesson, as we will be holding all students until the bell at 8:40. If you have any further questions, please email Mr. Westgate at awestgate@cedarburg.k12.wi.us
