Principal's Message

Another new year begins-welcome 2020! I hope everyone had a chance to relax and enjoy some quality time with family and friends over the holiday season. The start of school, after a significant break, always provides a good opportunity to re-establish a focus on learning. At TES, we are excited and rejuvenated to continue an amazing educational experience for all. I appreciate the partnership we have with parents, families, and the community on our journey to educate every student at TES. Warm wishes to you and your family for a peaceful, safe and a happy New Year!

A special thank you to so many people and organizations who have donated cash, food, and items to share with Thayne Elementary students and families that could use a boost this past Christmas.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Your student’s report card will be sent home with your student on Thursday, January 9, 2020.  Please be watching for it.

Parent Tip #4

Parent Involvement Policy

When schools and families work together to support learning, children are inclined to succeed not just in school, but throughout life. To ensure success at the next level and meet challenging state academic standards in Lincoln County School District #2, we evaluate current academic skill levels for all students. If this universal screener indicates additional support will benefit your child’s growth, the classroom teacher will contact you directly with any concerns. Our next universal screener will be administered at the end of January.
