T-Bird Weekly Message

Week of January 11, 2020

 

Dear T-Bird Families,

 

Welcome back to our first full week of our newly revised hybrid schedule! You will find a copy of our schedule and calendar attached to this email. Please know that we are doing everything we can to keep your students healthy and safe while they are in-person for their learning. Don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know how we can support you! If you need to get ahold of us for support or for any questions that you may have please call us at 720-886-1505 or you can email us at tmssupport@cherrycreekschools.org.

 

 

Important information for the week:

 

Quarter 2 Grades

Quarter 2 Grades will completed and ready for you to view this Thursday, January 14. We wanted to give students and teachers grace and time for work to be completed, turned in, and graded.

 

Free Lunch and Breakfast

Breakfast and lunch will remain free to all students for the remainder of the school year! Great news for all!

 

Free Reading Support – Reading Plus

For the rest of this school year, all Thunder Ridge Middle School students will have free access to a reading support program called Reading Plus.

Reading Plus helps students develop the skills they need to be proficient readers and

lifelong learners. Through regular Reading Plus practice, reading will become easier,

comprehension will increase, and your student will make meaningful connections between

reading and learning.

 

Use of this resource is voluntary, and online Reading Plus activities will occur separate from classroom instruction. All work will occur outside of school on a computer or tablet with Internet access. While your student’s teachers will be informed of their progress, there will be no connection to their gradebook.  

 

Please check out this three-minute video to learn more about Reading Plus:

If you would like for your student to get free access to Reading Plus, please contact Dr. Brad Weinhold, assistant principal, at bweinhold@cherrycreekschools.org.
