From the desk of Interim Superintendent Raymond Williams

Dear Students, Families, Staff, and Community Members,

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as Acting Superintendent of Thornton Fractional School District 215. This incredible district is a place I have proudly called home for the past 30 years. Over the course of these years, I have had the opportunity to serve in many capacities—teacher, dean, assistant activities director, co-chair for school improvement committees, assistant principal for building control, assistant principal for pupil personnel services, and principal for Center for Alternative Learning and Center for Academics and Technology. All of these roles and experiences have led me to this space, and I have cherished each role for the unique ways it allowed me to grow alongside our students, parents, and staff.

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.

As we approach the end of the semester, I want to take a moment to reflect on the accomplishments we’ve achieved together and express my gratitude for your continued support.

This semester has been filled with growth, learning, and resilience. Our students have engaged in a variety of academic and extracurricular activities, showcasing their talents and determination. I am proud of their hard work and the dedication of our educators, who have gone above and beyond to create a nurturing environment for all.

The second quarter is well underway, and it will be final exam time before you know it. I want to take this opportunity to reflect on the progress we’ve made so far this year. The first quarter was a time of growth and discovery for our students.

I am proud of their achievements and the resilience they have shown as they navigated new challenges. Our dedicated staff have worked tirelessly to provide a supportive and enriching learning environment, and I’m excited to see how our students will continue to thrive in the coming weeks.

However, we cannot do this on our own. I encourage all of you to be in control of your academic journey. You decide the path that you want to take but be assured the administration, teachers, and staff of TFD 215 are here to assist you in any way to be successful and achieve all your high school goals. This handbook serves as a guide to ensure that you know your rights, responsibilities, and the expectations of the school district. It is important that you become familiar with the entire handbook and especially the student code of conduct.
