Thunderbird Update
DREAM - BELIEVE - ACHIEVE

Week of November 2, 2026
Good Morning Thunderbird Families!
November is here! Please keep these important reminders in mind as we begin a new week.
Election Day—No School Tuesday, November 3
There will be no school on Tuesday in observance of Election Day.
Three Weeks Until Thanksgiving Break
With just three weeks until Thanksgiving break, students should stay on top of their work in every class to ensure passing grades on their interim reports. Families, please check grades with your student and encourage them to complete missing assignments and ask teachers for help when needed. If students need extra help, we offer tutoring Monday-Thursday starting at 7:45.
Calling All Veterans! Veterans Day Assembly—November 10
We invite veterans to join us for our upcoming Veterans Day assembly on November 10 as we honor their service. Please see the attached flyer for details. Letters were sent home with all students. If you are a veteran or know someone who is, we encourage you to complete the form included in the letter and return it to Ms. Avelar or Ms. Martinez.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s make these next three weeks count!
