Thoreau is a results-driven community where teachers are skilled in Best Practices and generate and administer self- created formative and summative assessments which are used to analyze data for student support and enrichment.

Thoreau staff members also proudly forge an essential partnership with parents to maintain open and on-going communication to help meet all of our students’ individual needs. Overall, Thoreau has a strong dedication to making sure that all students have the skills needed to ensure life –long learning and enduring achievement throughout their academic career and lives.
Family Liaison
Our Family Liaison serves as a link between families and the school. She facilitates family-school communication, which empowers families to become more active partners in their children’s education by providing them with the information and support they need to help their children and ensure their academic success and healthy development. The Family Liaison also welcomes and orients families who are new to Thoreau and the community, helping them understand the school’s culture, policies, procedures, and practices.
