A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL BALLOW
Tomorrow we are having our Reveal assembly. This is when Student Government will reveal the theme for this year's Field Day. Field Day is a long-standing tradition at ThunderRidge, and we are excited to be able to bring it back this year. Our Student Government leaders have been working hard to make these events incredible.
In order to increase our chances of being able to have a Field Day this year, I am strongly encouraging all staff and students to wear masks during tomorrow's assembly. We understand that staff and students may have concerns about this event or have needs requiring an alternate accommodation. Any staff or student who would prefer the alternative participation option (Livestream) should speak with a member of the Admin or Counseling team first thing in the morning.

Thanks for a wonderful first week!
Mrs. Ballow

TRXC COMMUNITY FUN RUN SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 8AM:
SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE MEETING
FIRST MEETING: September 14, 2021, ThunderRidge Library.
What is the ThunderRidge High School Accountability Committee?
All public schools in Colorado are required by law to have a School Accountability Committee. School accountability committees are made up of parents, school employees and community members.
The purpose of the SAC is to inform, encourage and provide opportunities for parent and community members to be involved in the planning and evaluation of the school's instructional program and quality improvement processes. By definition, the SAC is an advisory body. Final decision-making authority rests with the principal or other person or group receiving the recommendation from the SAC (e.g., the Superintendent, District Advisory Committee ("DAC") or Board of Education).
See the specific duties of the SAC listed on the Bylaws HERE.
