Fourth Quarter
Dear Thornton Fractional District 215 Community,
It’s hard to believe we are in the final quarter of the 2021-22 school year! Thank you for all you have done to make the school year successful thus far. This school year included exciting new initiatives that offer increased opportunities to our students. This school year we added a Career Development Department and celebrated our first cohort of future electricians, our first cohort of future teachers, and our first cohorts of future barbers and cosmetologists.
We also began our partnership with National Education Equity Lab, bringing two courses from prestigious universities to a group of our students, and we welcomed our first full time Spanish language interpreter and family outreach specialist to District 215.
Our students have also impressed us with many accomplishments outside of the classroom that are worth acknowledging! TF South’s Dutchess King finished second in the state in her weight class for wrestling and the TF South dance team took third in the state. TF North’s Group Interpretation cast finished third in the state, and the TF North speech team has students who advanced from state to national competition! We have much to be proud of and acknowledge as we look toward wrapping up the 2021-22 school year. As we approach honors assemblies, signing days, proms, graduations, and all the excitement each of these events bring, let’s continue to celebrate our staff, students, and families for a job well done in the 2021-22 school year.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sophia Jones-Redmond
Superintendent

Dear District 215 Students and Families,
One of the district’s fundamental responsibilities is to provide safe and inviting educational environments for all students, staff and for our communities. The reality is that school violence exists and as a district we always want to be proactive rather than reactive. There are several measures the district has taken over the past couple of years to make sure that happens. Among them are conducting an independent security audit of all District 215 facilities and implementing many of the suggestions, training students and staff for possible emergency situations and continuously strengthening our relationships with our local police/fire departments.
Happy New Year, District 215 Family!
I hope that everyone had an excellent Holiday season and welcomed in the New Year without incident! Welcome back to the second half of what I have declared to be the best school year ever! However, brace yourselves, because if you think the first half went by quickly, the second half will appear lightning fast. I hope you are as excited and proud as I am about all the great things that you have accomplished so far this year. I can hardly wait to see the other great things we do as partners within the school community.
