"Where all Thunderbirds Thrive"

Week of April 28, 2025
Thunderbird Families,
Great job Thunderbirds! We had over 95% attendance for your testing! Let's keep up that attendance rate for the rest of the year! As you can see from the list below, these last 5 weeks of school are packed with concerts, banquets, field trips, testing, and daily learning. Attendance matters!
Please help us encourage your students to stay on task and finish the year strong! 7th graders, please remember that your semester grades determine your 8th grade eligibility for all NMAA activities. This includes sports, FFA, STUGO, Esports, performing arts, etc. Students must maintain a 2.0 with NO "F's". Progress reports will go home this week on Tuesday!
Congratulations to our 3 families that enjoyed a family pizza night! 6th grader, Karlie, 7th grader, Jackson, and 8th grader, Alexa, each earned a family pizza night by not missing any days of school the 3rd nine week! Congratulations to all 3 students and their families for Perfect Attendance! Go Thunderbirds!
Hope you all have a great week!
