PTO Thorntown staff and students appreciate our amazing PTO! These folks support our school is so many ways, from funding classroom projects, to volunteering at school events, to organzing special programs for our students. This semester, PTO will be instrumental in coordinating our spring pictures, staffing our spring book fair, planning our amazing field day, and providing lunch during Teacher Appreciation Week. To learn more about how to get involved, please join us for our next PTO meeting on February 20 at 6:30 PM. THANK YOU, PTO, FOR ALL YOU DO FOR US!
Art/PE We rotate Art and PE each quarter at Thorntown. Mrs. Turner has been keeping our hallways colorful with her magnificent art displays. On March 9, we will switch to PE again, just in time for some spring weather and outdoor play! Be thinking about gym shoes as this time approaches, and let us know if you need shoe assitance at any point in the year.
IREAD3/ILEARN This spring, students in grades 3-6 will participate in annual state testing. Third graders will take the IREAD test on March 16-17. The ILEARN test window, for grades 3-6, will start April 20 and run through May 15. Students WILL NOT be testing through the entire window. We will work to do our testing the first couple of weeks, but use the additional time for any make up testing. Please try to avoid scheduling appointments or absences throughout these dates.
Round-Up We will host Kingergarten and PreK Round-Up on March 11 and March 12. Children who turn 5 years old on or before August 1 are eligible to enroll in kindergarten. Children interested in our parent-funded preschool program must turn 4 years old on or before August 1. Parents/Guardians of eligible students are encouraged to attend one of our round-up sessions. Important enrollment and program information will be shared. Children are not expected to attend this meeting.
Larry Battson and Friends brings us one of our favorite days of the year!
