A Message from Our Principal
Dear Thunderbird Families,

We are excited to see our students on campus next week. As we all get ready for the first day of school next Wednesday, September 1, we want to continue to provide information to help everyone to have a positive start to the school year.

The health and safety of our community is our priority. Here is the link to our Health and Safety Plan. Time will be spent on the first day of school communicating with students what they need to know about our health and safety procedures. It would be helpful if parents and guardians could reinforce with their student(s) at home that masks will be required at all times while on campus and on the bus, to maintain physical distancing as much as possible, and to wash their hands and/or use hand sanitizer frequently. Students will be able take their masks off while eating lunch. We ask that students be kept home when they are ill. Please know we are committed to helping our students to adapt to returning to attending school all-day on campus with our health and safety procedures in place.

We are looking forward to seeing families at our Back to Business Day next Monday, August 30. A reminder that everyone who attends will be required to wear a mask and the entire event will be held outside. Student schedules will be viewable in Skyward on Monday, August 30 at 8AM. Printed schedules and maps will be available during our Back to Business Day so students will be able to find the buildings where their classrooms are located. While we look forward to seeing students and families at this event, keep in mind that attendance is optional as items may be completed online.

We would like our students to have a smooth start to the school year and want to partner with you to help us to do so. Please be on the lookout for a Constant Contact next Tuesday, August 31 with additional information to help prepare your student for the first days of school.

We are looking forward to a great year of learning with our awesome students!

Warmly,
Amie Karkainen, Principal
