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 2026-2027 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.
This year, we are proud to launch our new school theme: "Planting the Seeds of Success." Grounded in this focus, 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 cultivate the empathy, resilience, and decision-making skills necessary to bloom into a thriving future.
A strong school community flourishes when we all work together. We deeply value our incredible PTO and parent volunteers who enrich our school, and 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 (Facebook & Instagram) 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, Ed.D.
Principal, Thornebrooke Elementary School
