Pick up Reminder

● Children’s House: 2:45 – 3:00 PM
● Lower Elementary: 3:00 – 3:15 PM
● Upper Elementary: 3:15 – 3:30 PM
● Adolescent Program: 3:30 – 3:45 PM
● Toddler Program 3:45 – 4:00 PM

We ask that elementary level parents not arrive early for pick up due to traffic considerations. Our parking lot cannot accommodate all of the extra cars, and excess traffic on Route 138 is dangerous. Please, if you are early, park at the Trailside Museum until it’s time to pick up your child; you and your fellow parents will be safer and pick-up will run more smoothly.
Staggered Arrivals for Delayed Starts

In order to move the flow of traffic in a safe and efficient manner, we are announcing a staggered arrival schedule for days that Thacher delays school due to inclement weather.

The schedule is as follows:

For a 2-hour delay
9:00 - 9:15 am — LE, UE, AP
9:15 - 9:30 am — Toddler
9:20 - 9:40 am — CH 
 
For a 3-hour delay:
10:00 - 10:15 am — LE, UE, AP
10:15 - 10:30 am — Toddler
10:20 -10:40 am — CH
 
In the event that the school needs to close early, there will be a staggered pickup announced on the day of the closing, as determined by the situation (i.e. inclement weather, power outage, etc.). These announcements will continue to be shared with parents via the normal communication methods of text alerts, emails, and social media.
