According to Websters New World dictionary it is correct. When you look it up you get the alternative spelling, through and the same pronunciation. You do not get the list of meanings and uses, and examples that you get with the through spelling. It is obviously an acceptable usage, although probably a later shortened one.
Short answer: no. Long answer: absolutely not. It's a bastardisation (note the 's' spelling) of 'through' which has long been common in the US and is increasingly creeping into UK orthography due to the ignorance of many native users.
There are 2 words that are often confused or misspelled:
thorough
(adjective) exacting, complete, or diligent, e.g. a thorough examination
through
1. (preposition) passing within, in then out, or "by means of"
(often abbreviated thru) as "he came through the door" or "learned through experience"
2. (adjective) finished, or done, as "through with the test", "their marriage was through"
