A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
We had a great week celebrating reading! The students enjoyed the fun dress up days and some extra special books that they read in their classrooms and in the library. We will close out the week by getting “cozy” with a good book. We invite students to wear their PJs to school tomorrow.
Our Thorson PTO Winter Carnival is just over a week away. See the information below to pre-purchase Carnival wristbands and to volunteer to help. The Carnival Chairs and Committee have been hard at work and are excited to provide a fun, family event for our school community. Please consider helping to make this event a success by volunteering to help. There are still many slots open and in need of your help. Financial assistance may be available for those families who are unable to attend due to financial constraints. Please reach out to the school office if you would like to request this.
After spring break, students in 3rd-5th grade will be taking the Wisconsin Forward assessment. We will be reviewing the online testing tools and sample items to prepare the students for the assessment April 3-April 6. Testing will occur April 11-14 and April 17-21. 4th grade will also be taking their science and social studies portion of the assessment on 3/21 and 3/22, which is right before spring break. Although there are opportunities for make-ups, it is important that students are in attendance on all of these dates. Please mark these dates on your calendar and watch for a letter with more information about this assessment to come out soon.
Tomorrow, Friday March 3, is an early release day, with K-5 students being dismissed at 1:45 p.m. 4K will run their modified early release day schedule. Teachers will be engaged in professional development activities in the afternoon. If your child will have a change in their going home plans, please let the office know as soon as possible and no later than noon tomorrow.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Scott May, Assistant Principal
