Dear Thunderbird Families,

The last few weeks have truly been exciting at Tolt! While it may take some time before we feel like we are in a groove with hybrid learning, we are figuring out ways to engage students in learning in this new environment. As our students are becoming more comfortable with our safety protocols and smaller classes, they are starting to talk more with their teachers and other students. It has been particularly encouraging to see students learning remotely and students learning in-person, interacting with each other in our morning classes. Your continued patience and grace as we adapt to hybrid learning is much appreciated.

As we head into Spring Break, I hope your family can spend time outside, away from screens, and doing something you enjoy--especially since this year has been anything but normal, our students will benefit from time disconnecting from school. And when we return on April 19, we will build on our positive momentum to finish this year out strong.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we work together to provide our students with whatever they need to be successful. It is an honor to partner with you on behalf of our amazing students!

Warmly,

Amie Karkainen, Principal

Our school office will be closed April 12-16 during Spring Break. There will be no supply pick up for remote learning students on Wednesday, April 14th. Supply pick ups will resume each Wednesday after Spring Break. Have a wonderful Spring Break!

Every Wednesday is Remote Learning. BOTH AM Remote Learning students and AM/PM In-Person Learning students, attend classes remotely. Note that Wednesday Remote classes start at 8:55AM (1st period starts one hour later than the M/T & TH/F AM class time) The classes are shortened to 20 minutes with live teaching and 6th period ends at 11:20AM.
