Thurston Elementary School

Bus registration for 2026-27 is now open! 🚌

Get started: https://www.springfield.k12.or.us/services/transportation

Eligible students who will be riding the bus need to register each year.
Who is an eligible bus rider? Elementary students who live more than one mile from their school and middle and high school students who live more than one and a half miles from their school.

Students must be enrolled for the 2026-27 school year before registering for bus transportation. Visit our enrollment page: https://www.springfield.k12.or.us/enroll

Don't delay - registering well in advance of the school year helps us cut down on the number of necessary adjustments to routes and stop times after the school year begins.

After you register, watch your email for an invitation from Transportation Services to register with the free Stopfinder app. Using Stopfinder, estimated time of arrival, schedule change notifications and more are right at your fingertips. Learn more about Stopfinder on the Transportation Services webpage.

Have questions? Call Transportation Services at 541-744-6373.

The office is officially closed for the summer until August 20th!

If you haven’t already register your child for the 26/27 school year, log onto ParentVue and do so! Also time to enroll and incoming kindergarteners and new students within our boundaries!

Last 3.5 days of school!!!
Missing any items? Have your student check or you can come check our lost and found

Items not claimed by the end of the day on a Thursday 6.11 will be donated!

TES had an extra special visitor yesterday! 🦙🎉

Caesar the No Drama Llama and his human, Larry, joined us as a special celebration because our students met our schoolwide I-Ready Math goal!

Our students and staff absolutely loved spending time with Caesar, giving hugs, taking pictures, and enjoying this unique reward. We are so proud of the hard work, perseverance, and growth our students showed throughout the year to reach this goal.

A huge thank you to Larry and Caesar for making the day so memorable and for bringing so many smiles to TES! ❤️

We wanted to share a few more pictures from our surprise visit from Dante Moore on Monday!

We are so grateful that Dante took time out of his busy schedule to visit TES, connect with our students, and spread such a positive message.
