Thomson Elementary

Dear Thomson Families,

What a wonderful start to the school year! We are officially well into the swing of things, and it has been such a joy to see our students jump right into learning, build new friendships, and settle into their routines. Our classrooms are buzzing with curiosity, excitement, and so much learning!

I also want to take a moment to say thank you for all of the incredibly sweet birthday cards, pictures, gifts, and thoughtful messages. I felt so celebrated and appreciated, and I am truly grateful to be part of such a wonderful Thomson community. You certainly know how to make a principal feel special!

As we continue into the school year, I also encourage you to consider becoming a member of our Thomson PTO! Our PTO plays such an important role in creating memorable experiences for our students, supporting celebrations and special events, and helping us recognize and celebrate our amazing staff. Whether you can volunteer your time, help with an event, or simply lend your support, there is a place for everyone. Our students and staff feel the impact of your involvement, and we are so grateful for it! Click the link below for more details.

Thank you for continuing to partner with us as we make this school year one filled with learning, growth, and tenacity. We are so glad to be on this journey together!

With appreciation,
Zeb Evans
Principal

If your child will be going home a different way than they normally do, please complete the Dismissal Changes Form. This form will always be linked in the weekly Thomson Times Newsletter. Starting next week, it will be down near the end of the newsletter.

Each day, our team communicates dismissal changes directly to teachers and staff to ensure your child gets home safely and according to your instructions. To give us enough time to process and communicate all changes, please submit your request by 2:15 p.m.

Thank you for helping us make dismissal a safe, smooth, and organized process for everyone!

Doctor’s notes or other supporting documentation for an absence, may be submitted by completing the online Attendance Note Submission form and uploading your documentation within the form. Student's 8-digit ID numbers are required in order to complete the form, and may be found in Skyward Family Access. This process applies to both full-day and partial-day absences.

Please note that a parent notification submitted through Skyward Family Access regarding a doctor's visit does not qualify as a doctor's note.

Students will receive a FREE cookie with the purchase of a school lunch on Thursday, September 3, 2026
