You might find Thornapple Kellogg Schools food service director Jessica Endres in the kitchen helping prep meals in the kitchen, on the serving lines helping out at lunchtime, or planting and harvesting the school’s new hydroponic garden system. Food grown in the system then finds its way into school lunches, offering healthy home-grown options to students.
We are excited to have your child enrolled at Thornapple Kellogg Schools. If you desire to use TK bus transportation for your student, please see the sign-up information provided. Information is required by Aug. 4 to begin riding the bus the first day of school. We look forward to helping provide safe transportation for all students to and from school each day.
Our middle school has grades 6, 7 and 8 and is filled with enthusiasm for learning and positive behaviors. Each grade level has a separate wing for core subjects with a common wing for our numerous exploratory classes such as choir, band, art, Spanish and 21st Century Skills. Our staff strives to ensure academic, physical, social and emotional growth and development for all students in a secure, creative and challenging environment. We work to develop positive self-images for all students so they can become responsible, lifelong learners. Our staff uses the PBIS program to help students develop core values for themselves and others and we teach and reward students for positive behavior.
We are glad you're here! We welcome volunteer parent and community involvement so please stop in to see us soon!
