COVID-19: Thornhill Update and Learning PlansIn the midst of these unprecedented times, please know that Mr. Daubenspeck, your teachers, and school staff are hard at work to make this time as bearable as possible. We as a school staff will continually send updates and information as we get it via Konstella and other available channels.
Teachers have all created Continuity Of Education Plans for distance learning. These plans will contain everything you need for "school at home" during the next few weeks - see below for the link to our lesson plans on Konstella: Thornhill Learning Plans: March 16th - May 1st In addition, our wonderful librarian, Ms. Fox put together a terrific list of Library Closure Resources and is looking into scheduling some virtual storytimes. Thank you for your patience during these times of uncertainty. We wish you and your families safety and good health. Learn more on Konstella >> |

Thornhill Benefit Auction Announcement
Based on the latest guidance from OUSD, the PFC Executive Board and Auction Committee made the difficult decision to cancel this year's school auction. Our school relies heavily on this auction to fund many of the things that make Thornhill a wonderful place for our kids to learn. So, we are heartbroken to have to share this news, but it was made with the belief that the health and safety of all of our community is our paramount goal. Read more about this decision on Konstella.
There are still a few items on our online auction catalog including puzzles, books, and more. Check it out! Thanks for your understanding as we navigate the coming weeks. Visit the Auction page >> |
