From Nurse Sue Farrell: I hope that everyone is staying home, staying healthy and getting the hang of remote learning. I miss seeing you all at school!   As difficult as it is to stay home and self isolate, understanding why we must do this helps.  This "Stop the Domino Effect" video from the CDC is a great visual to better understand why social distancing makes a difference: https://www.facebook.com/CDC/videos/1164699883869372/ And with the new recommendation that you wear a face mask when leaving home, here is good information on masks from the Vermont Department of Health: https://www.healthvermont.gov/sites/default/files/documents/pdf/COVID-19-VDH-mask-guidance.pdf Be well, Sue Farrell, School Nurse ...

Report cards for 3rd quarter were mailed to students' homes on Thursday, April 9, with the following cover letter included. Dear Thetford Academy Parents and Families, Enclosed with this letter, you will find the 3rd quarter report card for your TA student(s).  Our goal with 3rd quarter grades was to focus primarily on the learning and academic progress students demonstrated during the earlier portion of the quarter, while they were still on campus.

I still haven’t processed the fact the I will never have another day at TA, the place where I grew to be who I am today. It hurts my heart to know that that Tuesday was it. That my junior track season would be my last track season. My heart hurts to know that I must leave behind all I know and I’m comfortable with without a real, proper goodbye. I love TA and I always will. I know I will always long for one more day. One more boing class where the minutes turn into hours. One more music...

Hi, Panthers, I don't know about you, but I am grateful that the weather is feeling spring-like (at least on some days) and that we live in a beautiful place with lots of outdoor spaces for hiking, running, walking, etc. It makes this whole "stay at home thing" a little more tolerable. Are you getting outside, too? Here is this week's installment of resources. If you've found other awesome sites or things to do, let Rebecca know!

Expressive Drawing and Printmaking Assignment by Emily Trage, Class of 2020 This piece turned out to be very experimental. I used a medium I’ve never used before: concentrated watercolors. I did the painting on watercolor paper using only one brush.  This tree is supposed to be a reflection of the current uncertainty regarding my future. The roots of the tree are firmly grounded, and the tree itself is strong. Towards the top of the tree, the brown fades to green branches, symbolizing new growth during this time. There are some pink clouds obscuring the sunset view, showing that while the future is...
