Dear Thacher Families,
We're off to a great start with grades 1 through 4! But we're not quite whole yet as we look forward to our Kindergarteners joining us next week. As an early heads up for families who are new to Thacher, arrival and dismissal will be significantly impacted as both Kindergarten and the ELC become a part of the process. Please be patient as our procedures have been set up with student safety at the forefront. We recognize it can be frustrating to wait longer for buses or have to wait in the arrival/dismissal carline, but we want to make sure every child gets to and from school safely.
In consideration of the new families who may have missed the important beginning of year information, we have left most of the newsletter the same to make sure everyone has a chance to see it. However, we have added a few important items so please make sure you still scan the entire thing to make sure you see it.
Lastly, although staff have been in the building all week working on the issues associated with the new phone system, not every wrinkle has been ironed out yet. If you have tried to contact a staff member and not heard back, please try emailing them for the time being to make sure they know you're trying to reach them.
We're looking forward to seeing all of our Kindergarten families next week!
Warm regards,
Frank Rich, Principal
Sarah Desautel, Asst. Principal
