Thorndyke Elementary School

I believe this is an excellent school. My daughter completed 1rst grade there last year and she came home every day and did her homework on her own. I never had to remind her. She made so many friends. She recieved 2 honor awards, a strive for five award, and was student of the month in October. The year before, she was at a different school and although she didn't have any problems there, she wasnt motivated like she was last year. I am looking forward to seeing what this year brings for my Kindergarten age student and my daughter who is going into 2nd grade. I would never want them to go to another school.

this school is very bad . the kids don't do ther work.the kids do what ever they want do and they don't get in trouble.

We strive for '5' here at Thorndyke. 1. Be safe. 2. Be respectful. 3. Be responsible. 4. Be accepting. 5. Be here to learn! The Thorndyke family is a powerful learning team. Our staff and students are positive and working together to achieve goals set by our principle and district.

Mr. Sabol is an excellent teacher who is very concerned with his students. I just wish that the more funds were allotted to the district to allow more tutoring for students who are behind. I have had great experiences with this school.

Thorndyke Elementary consists of a very dedicated team of teachers. Thorndyke has changed from a PSO to a PTA. Parent involvement is growing. The PTA is up and running strong. Teachers are invloved in the PTA. Principal Brian Hutchison is extremely dedicated to the students at Thorndyke and is very involved in the PTA. There is always some new and positive ideas and programs being discussed or implemented. I have noticed that the teachers are concerned and dedicated to providing the correct level of work for each student. For example, some students are stronger readers and need books that are more challenging, at thorndyke they are provided with the level of book that is needed to help them grow and improve their reading. Teachers interact with each other and are on top of each students needs.

Thorndyke is a smaller school where the kids get more attention. I liked that teachers and students knew each other by name. There are several programs for special need children such as speech therapy and others. I would recommend this school. There is also a preschool onside and high school students come frequently to help in the class room.

I thank God for this school and for the staff, they are very friendly and just good people at heart they take their time to teach. They get the kids involved with the activities they are doing they put/or leave no child behind. I love this school and hope my other too children will have the opportunity to go there. I also want to say that the office staff is wonderful.

This is a wonderful school. The office staff is extremely pleasant and they went the extra mile to make my daughters feel comfortable and welcome. The school is spotless and new, with all the latest technology.
