A Note from Principal Curran
Updates from Thorpe Creek Elementary October/November 2022
Winter weather is coming! Here is some information to help you plan for school days impacted by winter weather.
If HSE Schools announces a "two hour delay" our elementary school day will begin at 9:40 a.m. Plan to go to your morning bus stop approximately two hours later than a typical morning. Car riders will begin entering the school around 9:35 a.m. Lunch is served on a two hour delay day and dismissal remains at 2:10.
NEW THIS YEAR: If HSE Schools announces a "snow day or cancellation day," school is cancelled for the day. Elementary students will not meet with their teacher virtually and will not complete assignments on Canvas. School is cancelled for this day and will be made up at school in person on a scheduled "flex day." Flex days are identified on the HSE school calendar (see the link at the bottom of this newsletter to HSE's district calendar). If more than 2 flex days are needed to make up snow/cancellation days this year, HSE may provide virtual instruction. More on this to come, if needed!
On snow days/cancellation days we hope your family is able to stay home, safe and warm, and enjoy some time playing in the snow together! If you are unable to stay home with your child, now is the time to make a plan for your family!
Any changes to the school day will be announced on the local news, on HSE's Twitter and Facebook, and in Parent Square.
Also, please be sure your child dresses for the winter weather when they come to school. Boots, hats, mittens/gloves, winter coat, and snow pants are all appropriate! We play outdoors when temps "feel like 25 degrees" or above. Please be sure to put your child's name in any/all clothing that they may remove so we can return them if they are misplaced.
Winter weather is coming and I LOVE to see this season through the eyes of children!
Warmly,
Mrs. Curran, principal
