Safety

Thalberg School Parent Safety Plan:

Thalberg School's staff and students have updated of our safety measures in the event of an emergency. Click on the link above to the parents' letter for our school safety plan.

It is important to provide the students with a safe environment so they can remain focused on their academics. In order to maintain the level of safety and security in the building, we do ask all visitors to stop in the main office. Visitors will be permitted to the classroom with a scheduled appointment with the classroom teacher.

Parent Support

Parents are the foundation to a child's education. The home connection allows the staff to better support your child's education. The more information you can provide us about your child, the more we are able to meet the learning needs with appropriate actions. Each child at Thalberg is a success story. We look forward to writing the story together with you. You can assist your child by volunteering for field trips, class activities, reading to children, art projects, typing, helping on the computer or simply contact your child's teacher to see how you can help.

The PTO is devoted to improving our school. The Thalberg PTO has been instrumental in fund raising and has contributed to our classroom environments through the purchase of technology and supplies for our children at Thalberg. This year our PTO is focusing on improving the playground equipment for our children. We want to make recess fun, social and healthy.

Standards

Thalberg School has embraced the new Common Core State Standards. Students are now being provided with learning opportunities that challenge their thinking and develop strong habits of mind. The link below is to the Common Core State Standards for parents as we remain partners in your child's education:
