9/21
Hello Thorp Families,
We are almost halfway through first quarter. Progress reports will be sent home next Thursday. There is no school Friday due to staff development.
Thank you so much to the PTA for wonderful week of Book Fair and the Outdoor Movie Night yesterday. What a turnout and a success!
Applying to Thorp:
GoCPS opens on Tuesday for applications for the 2025-2026 school year. Please tell your family, friends, and neighbors to apply to Thorp using this link: https://www.cps.edu/gocps.
If your child’s sibling will be applying, please make sure you click the sibling box. Once the window closes, we can’t change it!
Lost and Found:
Our Lost and Found is gaining momentum, and not in a good way. Please check it out by the East Playground doors.
1st Grade Assembly:
Next Thursday, we will have our first assembly of the year hosted by our first graders. Due to auditorium being still under construction, parents will be allowed to view it in person at 8:30, or it will be streamed for anyone at home or students in the building. We will send out the link on our website!
Forms are Due:
We are still missing several forms. Please get them in! If you do not have the forms booklet you can still visit the CPS Forms site. We especially need your Income Verification/Lunch Form, Media Consent Form and Medical Vaccination Forms.
FoT - Read A Thon:
The Read-A-Thon is underway! Thank you to everyone who joined us Thursday for the Bedtime Stories and thanks to our special readers - Ms. Blair, Ms. Daly, Mr. Dominguez, Ms. Morales and Ms. Stowell!
We are excited to see everyone enjoying new books and logging minutes. Every parent/guardian should have received an email from 99 Pledges with information on logging reading minutes. Please let us know if you did not receive this email at [email protected]. There will be exciting prize awards for the students and classrooms for both top fundraisers and top readers.
Don't forget next week's literacy-themed spirit days!
Monday 9/23: Fox in Socks Day - wear crazy socks
Tuesday 9/24: Llama Llama Red Pajama - wear your pajamas
Wednesday 9/25: Cat in the Hat - wear a fun hat
Thursday 9/26: Dress like your favorite book character
Friday 9/27: No School and last day to read and log minutes!
Have a great week!
