Superintendent's Message

Dear Students:

Welcome to another school year of academic development and achievement. I hope you had an enjoyable and restful summer filled with activities that contributed to your personal growth. I'm excited this school year to share with you the advancements in technology development at all three academic buildings.

New Technology

This quarter, you will have the opportunity to experience new virtual reality 3D computing, smart tablets, touch screen monitors and smart televisions in a multiple platform learning environment. In addition, you will receive class assignments and projects through the same technology based platforms that will allow you to work on your lessons, hands-on whether individually, in small or large groups.

District App/Email Set-up

If you haven't done so yet, please download the district app on your cellular device at the Apple Store or Google Play by searching Thornton Fractional.

The district app will simplify your day by allowing you to access your ID badge, class schedule, class assignments, scientific calculator, Moodle, PowerSchool, MySchoolBucks, My Assignments, Hall Pass and school events. Also, please use the Tip Line on the district app to report bullying, campus safety or other concerns to the appropriate school authority. The tips are anonymous unless you include your contact information.
