Principal’s Message
Thornebrooke Families,
Welcome to another exciting year at Thornebrooke Elementary School! Whether you are a returning Barracuda or joining our school family for the first time, we are thrilled to have you as part of our close-knit community.
At Thornebrooke, we believe that education is a partnership between the school, the home, and the community. Our mission is clear: together with our families, we aim to empower students with a superior academic experience, essential life skills, and boundless opportunities. As we navigate the 2025-2026 school year, our dedicated faculty and staff remain committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every child feels inspired to reach their full potential.
We continue our commitment to social emotional learning and academic excellence. We strive to help our students not only master their core subjects but also develop the empathy, resilience, and decision-making skills necessary for a thriving future.
Our school’s success is a direct reflection of our incredible PTO and parent volunteers. We encourage you to stay engaged by:
- Joining the PTO to support classroom resources and school events.
- Attending our School Advisory Committee (SAC) meetings.
- Staying connected via our school website, ParentSquare and our social media for real-time updates.
Thank you for choosing Thornebrooke Elementary as the foundation for your child’s educational journey. Let’s make this a year of growth, achievement, and unforgettable memories!
Go Barracudas!
Maria Gaspar
