Important Drop-Off and Pick Up Procedures:
Please click the following link for reminders and safety updates regarding Thunder Mountain Parent Pick Up and Drop Off Procedures 21-22. This link includes a map to indicate where parents need to wait after school, if walking onto campus. Any vehicles driving on to campus for pick up need to stay in their vehicles and use the loop.
You can learn more about these procedures in this ScreenCastify from Mr. McLaughlin:
Scholastic Book Fair:
Thank you students and families for an exceptionally great book fair this year! This fall’s book fair profited more than any book fair in the past! Proceeds from the book fair will serve to continue to add wonderful books to our school library for all students to enjoy for years to come! A special thank you to Ms. Jenny and her many volunteers for making this happen!
