A Note from Principal Curran
Updates from Thorpe Creek Elementary March 2022
Dear Thorpe Creek Families,
This week our 3rd grade students will take the state required IREAD-3 reading assessment. IREAD-3 is an online, multiple choice test that measures foundational reading standards through grade 3. There are three components to this test:
Word Recognition, Fluency, and Vocabulary Development
Identifying beginning, middle, and ending sounds, identifying synonyms and antonyms and using context clues to determine the meaning of unknown words in a text
Comprehension and analysis of nonfiction and informational text
Comparing and responding to grade-level informational text by making connections and/or predictions while reading and identifying important information within text
Comprehension and analysis of literacy text
Comparing and responding to grade-level literacy text by recalling and/or describing story elements and identifying the theme and narrator of different literacy genres
Our third grade students are ready and will do well on this assessment! Do your best, 3rd graders! You've got this!
Open House
Students/Families that will be in kindergarten in 2022-2023 are invited! Students/Families in grades 1-4 that will be new to TCE in 2022-2023 are also invited! Please come explore TCE and meet the principals at this time!

Enroll Your Child In Kindergarten For The 2022-2023 School Year Now!
Fourth Graders Will Visit Their Intermediate Schools in May
Parents and guardians are invited to visit their child's intermediate school on Thursday, May 12th at 6:30 p.m. This evening is for adults only.
Families do not need to enroll their child in the intermediate school (nor will you need to enroll in junior high or high school). Once your child has been enrolled in HSE Schools, they remain enrolled and will transition from grade level to grade level within the school system, including transitioning to new campuses.
Our Thorpe Creek Elementary Best Buddies Chapter Will #WalkForChange at This Year's Friendship Walk

PTO Move-A-Thon
New this year, our PTO is investing in a student-led project to enhance our TCE Nature Space - our National Blue Ribbon School legacy project. Third grade students have reached out to Ball State's Landscape Architecture Department for guidance and a potential partnership to help bring their ideas to life. This project will be on-going through 2023. Stay tuned for updates and pictures of our learning!
