Hi, Michael!
"Thus" can be used in the following ways:
1) As a synonym for "in this way/manner" or "as a result":
He studied hard; thus, he passed his test.
2) As a synonym for "accordingly" or "consequently":
It's already 11 o'clock at night; thus, I should go to bed.
3) Meaning "to this extent/degree":
There have been no disturbances thus far, although we cannot be certain this peace will last.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions =)

fyi - it's used more often in writing than in conversation.
