Thunderhawk Families, I’m so excited to meet each of you! As we are wrapping up summer and working on a safe return back to school, I wanted to share some very important information as we move forward that is quickly approaching. We are trying to provide the best experience possible for students during back to school but also making sure we are following social distancing protocols. Please read this email very carefully! I will share out a presentation on Monday, August 3rd via email that will contain all parent resources and information you would normally receive on orientation day along with some videos for students.
