Thunder Mountain CLIMB expectations & Big 5 Rules

3rd Quarter Attendance:
We are off to a fantastic start of our 3rd quarter! Your students are working very hard each and every day! It continues to be crucial that students are present at school. We continue to value our partnership with families to inform you of increased absences, tardies and early leaves. Please make sure you stay in communication with the school when needs come up. We will continue to communicate through phone calls and notes home if we see a concern. Our goal through this communication is to partner with families and support, if needed.  


CLIMB Tickets: 

It has been enjoyable watching our students get so excited about receiving CLIMB tickets over the past month! Classroom teachers have also implemented whole class incentives to receive CLIMB tickets! We look forward to continual excitement and motivation around acknowledging students doing the right thing!  


Positive Proof: 

This is our new check in and check out system. The goal of this system is to increase our school security and make sure our documentation is accurate of when students come and leave. If you come to visit or volunteer, please be sure to have your YELLOW badge visible for staff to see. Thank you so much for our patience while students, staff and families learn this new system.  


Second Step SEL Lessons:

We have continued our work with Second Step Lessons. We will be starting Unit 3: Empathy & Kindness in February. Read more about Second Step here. This year, our four major units of study include: Growth Mindset & Goal Setting, Emotion Management, Empathy & Kindness, and Problem-Solving. 


Spirit Day: Please join us on the last Friday of the month in wearing your Thunder t-shirts and/or blue & green!


Bike Riders: Please make sure your student is locking their bikes/scooters everyday to prevent theft.


PTA  Meeting- Tuesday, February 13th:

Please join us for our PTA meeting on Tuesday, February 13th at 4:30 in our library. Childcare provided. 


Monthly Cotton Candy PTA Sales: 

On the last Friday of each month, our fabulous PTA will be selling bags of cotton candy for $1. Order forms will come out in Tuesday folders the week of the sales. This money will be used for ongoing school requests.


February 7th & 8th Conferences: 

We will be hosting another round of conferences on the evening of February 7th and 8th. Please make sure that  if your student’s teacher reaches out to you about having a conference, that you sign up on the link they’ve sent.
