A Message from Our Principal |
|
Dear Thunderbird Families,
I hope you and your family are having a fun and restful summer. We are thrilled to welcome all our students onto our campus for full-time, in-person learning this fall. While we will continue to have safety and health guidelines, our students will benefit from attending classes in-person five days a week, eating lunch at school, and participating in clubs, sports, and activities. We are excited to see our students on campus very soon!
Now that it is August, many families are beginning to think about the start of school. Below is important information to help us to have a smooth start to the year. We will continue to send more information out as we get closer to the first day of school. Note that the first day of school on Wednesday, September 1 will be a full day of school for all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. We recognize we have students in all three grades who have either never attended school on our campus or have not done so since before the pandemic. As such, our staff will focus on helping all our students to learn how we do things at Tolt and feel a part of our school community during the first days of school.
We understand students are eager to see their schedules. Student schedules will be released in Skyward on Monday, August 30 at 8AM. Please know we still have classes to balance and changes to make in schedules before student schedules will be ready to be released.
We want to do whatever we can to make this a positive year for your student. Please reach out if there is ever anything we can do for them. Thank you for your support of our school and enjoy the rest of your summer!
Warmly,
Amie Karkainen, Principal
