Dear TA Families, Spring is teasing us a bit early today, and a few classes took their lessons outside this afternoon to enjoy the sunshine and breezy, moderate temps.  Starting to Look Ahead to Fall It's that time of year in schools when we start to have a dual focus - staying knee-deep and focused on the current semester, while we also begin to look ahead to the fall. On Monday, students in 8th-11th grades will have presentations by the TA guidance counselors to talk about course planning and academic opportunities for next year and the future.

The school meeting portion of Thetford's Town Meeting Day on March 2 drew a larger-than-usual crowd this year. By 9am, most of the chairs on the gym floor were occupied and the bleachers above were filling up. This was not a surprise, due to the many questions swirling in our community and regional media - about the impacts of Act 127, the projected property tax increases, the decision of whether or not to delay the school budget vote, and related issues.
