Dear Thacher Families:
We're looking forward to seeing you all next Thursday for Welcome Back Night. Please see below for important information on how the evening is planned. A shift from last year, the ELC's Welcome Back event is the same day, ending at 6:30 which means the parking lot will be pretty full.
Sincerely,
Frank W. Rich
Principal
Welcome Back Night
September 28, 2023, 6:00 - 8:00 PM
We are excited to be changing the format from the direct presentation style we've used the past few years to an open house format where we invite you to bring your child(ren) and have them be your tour guides for the evening. This is an opportunity for students to show off their classrooms and their work. We ask that you keep them with you and not allow them to wander the building on their own.
In an attempt to control the number of people in the building at once, in consideration of crowd size and our limited parking, we ask that families adhere to the following schedule based on their family's last name:
Last Name A - M: 6:00 - 6:45 PM
Last Name N - Z: 7:00 - 7:45 PM
We recognize that many families are busy with work, and activities, and/or have children in multiple grades. We will allow families who can't make it to their assigned time to attend the time that works best for their schedule.
Here is a break-down of the evening's schedule:
Student Last Name A - M
6:00 – 6:45: Students will guide their family to the areas of the building they spend their day in (classroom, specialists, etc.). Don't stay in one place too long to make sure you get to see everything...45 minutes goes faster than you think!
6:45-7:00: First session ends. We ask that you exit the building to allow the next group of parents to park and get into the building.
Student Last Name N - Z
7:00 – 7:45: Students will guide their family to the areas of the building they spend their day in (classroom, specialists, etc.). Don't stay in one place too long to make sure you get to see everything...45 minutes goes faster than you think!
7:45-8:00: Second session ends. We ask that families leave to allow teachers to reset their rooms to be ready to welcome your children in the morning.

From the Gymnasium
We are off to another wonderful year in Physical Education. Starting in a new classroom with a new teacher, new daily routines, and a new set of classmates can be tricky for some students. Team building activities are a great way to “break the ice” and have fun. Our first few lessons have been focused on team work, good sportsmanship, positive communication, and ofcourse having FUN!!
If you ever have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out anytime!
