Thank you Thunderbird Families and Thunder Mountain Staff!

Our fourth week of school is now underway, and we want to extend our gratitude to all of our families and our hard working staff for the successful start to the year! 

We appreciate your cooperation and patience with our pick-up and drop off line.  As the weeks have gone by, this process has become much more efficient due to everyone working together to follow the procedures.  Having your sign with your child’s name and grade in the window is extremely helpful!

We also appreciate your diligence in monitoring any symptoms your student might have and keeping them home until they receive a negative covid test, get an alternate diagnosis, or return after 10 days of symptom onset.  We will continue to work together to keep our learning environment safe and open for in-person learning.
