Dear Thunder Ridge Families,
Welcome back for our final 9 weeks of the 2022-2023 school year! I hope that you all enjoyed your spring break with your family and friends! I would like to focus our time this quarter, on what it is that we need to do in order to finish this year successfully and stronger together. How can you focus and increase your engagement over these last few weeks we have together this school year? How can we better unite as a Thunder Ridge Community to show our school pride as "Thunderbolts?" As always, I am honored to be your principal and work alongside such an amazing community!
This week we will continue our focus on the Core Value: Growth Mindset and our Thunder Value: Creating a Roadmap as we ensure that every student feels welcomed, seen and valued. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns either by phone (720) 886-1505 or by email at tmssupport@cherrycreekschools.org.
Thank you for your continued support of Thunder Ridge Middle School!

Computer Collection and CMAS
As a reminder, all students at TMS will turn in their school-provided computers and chargers next Wednesday, April 5 in preparation for CMAS testing. Devices will be returned to them at the end of the final testing session. Even students exempt from testing will turn in their devices. Missing devices and/or chargers may result in a fine added to the student’s PowerSchool account. NOTE: If students have installed VPN’s on their computers to bypass our network firewalls, they may be subject to disciplinary action through our Dean’s office. Please talk to your children about removing anything that is not related to school from their device.
CMAS testing is coming up the week of April 10th. Please see more information about testing in this letter.
