A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
At all of our Cedarburg schools, safety is of the utmost importance. We strive to maintain safe environments and have strong protocols in place so that students can effectively learn. After being informed of hoaxes of threats made at several Wisconsin schools today, we activated several safety protocols out of an abundance of caution. Please note that Cedarburg School District did not receive any of these threats today. Staff and students are trained throughout the year on how to respond to a variety of emergency situations at school and this training will strengthen their ability to respond safely and calmly if and when a need arises. The staff did a great job of enacting these safety protocols today while continuing on with daily instruction and routines.
Students in grades K-5 have completed the iReady diagnostic assessment and their individual iReady reports are available in Skyward Family Access. For more information regarding iReady and for directions to review your child’s iReady report, please see this letter.
Please be sure to take a look at the PTO newsletter that was sent out yesterday. Some highlights include an extension to the Thorson spiritwear store, which includes Cedarburg Bulldogs offerings, as well as the fall and holiday mini photo sessions that are being offered by Worzella, with a portion of the proceeds going back to the PTO.
We are gearing up for our Halloween Festivities. We will be having our annual Pumpkin Days display event, which will be held August 24-28. Families are invited to bring in decorated (NOT carved) pumpkins for display in our Thorson IMC. See here for details. Weather permitting, we will be holding our annual Halloween Parade outdoors on Friday, October 28 at 1:15 p.m. This is an early release day, with school ending at 1:45 p.m. Please see this document for important details regarding costume guidelines, the parade route, and when to arrive.
We are looking forward to a festive time next week. Have a great weekend!
