Since none of us can remember what it feels like to go to school or work, we're going to make it easy and go with a Cozy/PJ Day tomorrow!
Good morning families! Today was APS will delay its opening by two hours today, Wednesday, 2/11/2026. We have not done this in a while, so I wanted to clarify. This means that our doors will open for students at 10:30am. Dismissal will still be at 3:25pm. Lunch will be served for all. For bus families, this means that your bus pick up times are +2 hours as well. For example, if your bus pick up time is 7:50am (+/-10 mins), it is now 9:50am (+/- 10 mins). Thank you and please be careful on the snow.

🎶 Whoa-oh, we’re halfway there! 🎶
Thanks to a couple of snow days ❄️, our 90th day of school has shifted — but don’t worry… we’re still halfway there!
📅 Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28 is now our official 90th Day of School and 90’s Spirit Day!
We’re holdin’ on to all the great learning and fun from the first half of the year, and with everyone working together, we’ll make it — because we’ve got each other, and that’s a lot 💙
Break out the neon, denim, flannel, and classic 90’s style as we celebrate making it to the halfway point together!
ELC and Kindergarten friends — while it’s not technically your 90th day, we’d love for you to join in the fun, too!
🎶 Whoa-ohhh… 🎶

🎉 GOLDEN TICKET WINNER! 🎉
Congratulations to Scott from Mrs. Hirsch's class for being selected as a Feinstein Golden Ticket winner! 🎫✨
Scott's Golden Ticket win brings an incredible $2,000 grant to Thacher, and in a beautiful act of generosity, he's donating an additional $500 grant to the Lindsay Withers Memorial Scholarship Fund in loving memory of his Aunt. 💛
This is what leading with kindness looks like! As a Feinstein Leadership School, our Jr. Scholars are empowered to celebrate good deeds and work together to make the world a better place—and Scott is showing us exactly how it's done.
We're so proud of you, Scott! Your compassion and leadership inspire us all. 🌟
