Thorndyke Elementary School

Welcome to Thorndyke!

The past few months have been very busy, as we transitioned into a Hybrid Learning Program for our students. Implementing this program has allowed us to better meet the learning needs of each student. This work was important for our learning community and it brings joy seeing students excited to be back in person and eager to learn! Below is important information about the hybrid program.

Student Health Screening

Thanks to your help, the health screening upon arrival is going very well. Keep sending students with the health screening cards and if you need more, ask your child’s teacher or the staff on duty during health screening. If parents drop their child(ren) off by car in the horse shoe, they may keep the health attestation card in the car. Simply show the signature and date on the back and then we will provide students with a sticker indicating they do not require a health screening with a temperature check.

Hybrid Change of Placement Requests

We are no longer accepting requests for a change in hybrid program placement. If your child or children are currently learning in person, they will remain in that placement for the duration of this school year. If your child or children are currently learning remotely, they will remain in that placement for the duration of this school year. If you think there are extenuating circumstances worthy of consideration, please reach out to your child or children’s teachers. The teachers will relay the information to me.

Family Support

Below is a helpful link to a site for elementary families and students. This support page for Elementary families and students will help with the technology related to remote learning. It includes help with your Chromebook, Google Classroom, iReady, setting up translation on You Tube as well as many other helpful links.
