Thorp School District

Good afternoon,

As the year begins, we wanted to share some information regarding student health and attendance.

We are also including a message from the School Nurse, Dorothy, and the Health Room Assistant, Angela. As always, please reach out to the office with questions or clarification regarding attendance or student health policies.

A Quick Note from the Health Room!

Dear Families,

We hope you're having a wonderful week! We are having such a fantastic school year so far, and it is a true joy caring for your amazing kiddos every day.

We wanted to share a quick update about how health room visits work:

• Minor Visits: For small things like a quick band-aid, a brief rest, or a little snack, we take good care of your student and get them right back to class! Because these visits are minor, we won't always call home for them.

• Serious or Concerning Visits: Rest assured, if anything comes up that is concerning, serious, or requires your attention, you will always be the first to know—we will call you right away!

Our health room stays super busy, but we love hearing from you! Please never hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, updates, or if there's anything we can do to support your child.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us!

Warmly,

Your School Nurse & Health Room Assistant

Dear Thorp School District Families,

I hope you are all having a wonderful and relaxing summer! I am writing to share some exciting news and to let you know about the counseling plans for the upcoming school year.

I will be going on maternity leave and will be away from Thorp Schools for the first semester of this school year. I will return to my role as your school counselor on February 1st, 2027.

During my absence, the school counseling department will be in wonderful hands. Mr. Seth Wiswell will be stepping in as the long-term counselor substitute. Mr. Wiswell is eager to support our students and will be continuing all of our regular programming, including social-emotional learning classroom lessons, 1:1 student support and check-ins, lunch bunches and small groups, and other counseling resources and activities!

To ensure a smooth transition and that no messages are missed, we have set up an email address for all counseling-related inquiries.

Please use this email for all counselor communications until February 1st, 2027: counselor@thorpschools.org

I will miss the students and the Thorp community tremendously during the first half of the year, but I know Mr. Wiswell will do a fantastic job taking care of everyone. Thank you all for your continuous support, and I look forward to seeing you when I return in February!

Warmly,
Rachel Hoffman
School Counselor
