Thorson Thursday Folder
May 4, 2023
A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
For the month of May, we are focusing on the character trait of Commitment. As we enter the final stretch of the school year, we as a staff are fully committed to each and every one of our students, and we encourage our students to show their commitment to school by staying focused and doing their very best! We will kick off our work with this character trait at our all-school Jaguar Jumpstart tomorrow morning. Students and staff are welcome and encouraged to wear Thorson spirit wear or school colors to school on Friday.
Students in Kindergarten through 5th grade will be taking the spring iReady assessment over the next few weeks. The testing window runs from May 8-May 26. Students will be assessed in the areas of Reading and Math. Results will be available at the end of the school year and will be posted in Skyward Family Access. You will receive an email when the results have been posted. We are excited to see the growth our students have made on this assessment over the course of the year.
Our next PTO meeting is on Monday, May 8 at 7:00 p.m. in the Community Room. All are welcome to attend. We hope to see many of you there. Also, don’t forget to sign up for the Boys take on the Burg event that is coming up on Saturday, May 13.
Next week (May 8-12), we are celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week. This week gives us an opportunity to recognize and express our gratitude for the hard work, dedication, and achievements of our outstanding educators in the Cedarburg School District. We are truly grateful to have such a wonderful team at Thorson and we look forward to celebrating them next week.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Scott May, Assistant Principal
