This year the Project Heart Club for Kinder - 2nd grade learned about philanthropy and giving our time, talent, and treasure to make our community a better place. This was done by helping teachers organize books, making signs about kindness to put around the school, and making thank you's for teachers. Our big project was learning about the community space that is at PVA and finding out how we can support it. After visiting a community space at another school, the group decided we needed to make our space welcoming by adding pictures and decorations. Our amazing second graders - Eleanor S., Lyanna W., Olivia H., and Isabel C. - wrote and received grants for us to pay for the bus to visit the other school and for the materials we would use to decorate the community space. So very proud of these students and what they do to make our community stronger. A big shout out to Otter Cares for providing curriculum and awarding us grants!

All incoming 9th graders and new students to Mountain VIew High School are invited to attend Transition Night on Tuesday, May 5, from 6pm - 7:30pm. This event includes athletics information. an activity fair, and food! Parents, we will have a bootcamp for you to aid in everything you need to know about being a freshman parent!

The last week for library book check-outs will be the last week of April. All books will be due Monday May 4th so that we can complete our inventory and round up missing/lost books. We currently have 119 overdue books. Please take a look around while you do some Spring cleaning for any missing books. Please email Ms. Plagman at lorelei.plagman@tsd.org if you have questions or concerns regarding a lost or damaged book. Thank you for keeping our books safe and returning them in a timely manner for all of our learners to enjoy!

Ms. Plagman

Thompson School District, in partnership with the Rocky Mountain Family Engagement Collective (RMFEC), is offering a two-part workshop series called “Unlock the Joy of Reading” for families with elementary-aged children. The workshops are divided into two grade-level strands (K–2 and 3–5) and are designed to give families simple, practical ways to support reading at home, whether a child is just starting, building fluency, or gaining confidence. The workshops will be held on May 7 and May 14 from 5:00–7:30 p.m. at Winona Elementary School. Each strand will include easy-to-use tips and fun activities to make reading an enjoyable part of everyday life. Dinner will be provided, but childcare is not available at this time. Please share this opportunity with your families. (see links below) If you have any questions, contact Gaby Salvador at gaby.salvador@tsd.org.

Peakview Academy

2660 N. Monroe Ave

We invite you to join us at PVA to walk the halls in your cap & gown to celebrate your accomplishments and inspire the next generation. A short Question & Answer session with our 2nd & 3rd Graders will follow. Families are welcome to join the celebration.

Donuts & Juice will be served.

5th - 8th grade students will be bringing their Chromebook and charger home with them for the summer and they will bring it back to school in the fall when school resumes. We’re excited to have your child experience a summer filled with learning and growth! To ensure it is smooth and successful, here’s what you need to know about the digital components for summer.

Chromebook & Power Cord Distribution

Students will keep their Tech4All Chromebook and power cord on the last day of the school year. This device will be essential for accessing summer learning tools such as Sora, BrainPop, and i-Ready (All of these are accessible through the ClassLink portal.) Find more details about digital tools on our website.

Guidance and Family Resources

We encourage families to explore digital well-being tools to help set healthy tech use habits at home. Resources from Securly and Common Sense Media, including The Smart Talk and Family Tech Planners, can support these conversations.

Responsible Use Policy (RUP)

Please see our Responsible Use Policy that families acknowledged during Annual Family Check In. If you have not completed the Annual Family Check In, please do so, as it supports all of our digital systems and communications.

Tech Support

For any technical issues, I.T.S. is here to help! For phone support call our Helpdesk at 970-613-7777, Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. You can also visit our Quick Tips for Chromebooks page to get started. For in person support, you can make an appointment to come to the SSC building in Loveland or visit our mobile support van at a location near you. Visit our summer support options page for more information, including hours for mobile technical support and repairs!

Optional Device Insurance

To protect your student’s Chromebook from accidental damage, optional insurance is available. Sign up for prorated insurance for coverage through August 2026. Learn more and enroll.

Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting student learning. We’re looking forward to a summer of curiosity, creativity, and discovery. With your support, we know your student will make the most of their learning and technology tools this season! We trust you to take care of your device and continue to learn during the summer.

It’s that time of year again! We are officially opening the Annual Family Check-In for the

upcoming 2026-2027 school year.

Why is this so important?

We want to ensure every student is safe, supported, and reachable. Updating your information in

Infinite Campus is the only way to guarantee we have the most accurate data for:

 Emergency Contacts: Who do we call if your child needs you?

 Health Information: Keeping our nursing staff up to date on allergies or medications.

 Communication: Ensuring you receive school closures, event invites, and grade reports.

"But my information hasn't changed!"

We still need you to complete the check-in! Even if your address and phone number are

exactly the same as last year, the system requires a fresh "digital signature" to confirm your data

is current for the new school year. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes a world of difference

for our staff and your student.

How to Complete Your Check-In:

1. Log In: Visit your [Infinite Campus Parent Portal].

2. Navigate: Look for the "Annual Family Check-In"

3. Review & Submit: Double-check your details, make any necessary edits, and hit submit!

Thank you for helping us start the 2026-2027 year strong!

Dear families of students attending Colorado kindergarten through 12th grade schools for the 2026-27 school year:

The letter below includes important information and other resources about Colorado’s immunization requirements to attend school. There’s nothing more important than making sure your child stays healthy and learning all year long. Routine vaccination can prevent the spread of diseases like measles, mumps, varicella (chickenpox), whooping cough, and others, so kids can just be kids. The vast majority of Colorado families choose to protect their children through vaccination. Please review this letter.

In the Thompson School District, we are committed to providing high-quality early childhood education led by dedicated and highly skilled teachers and paraprofessionals. To further support our students, Speech-Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists visit weekly, and our Early Childhood Coordinator staff provide continuous classroom support, feedback, and coaching.

We use research-based curricula to foster growth in literacy, math, language, motor skills, and social-emotional learning. Our curriculum aligns with Preschool through Grade 12 State Academic Standards and meets federal Head Start Child Outcomes, ensuring our students develop the foundational skills needed for future success.

We believe that strong relationships are at the heart of learning. Our classrooms are designed to foster meaningful connections between students, teachers, and families, creating a supportive and inclusive community where every child feels valued and inspired to grow. By building these relationships, we nurture a love for learning, social-emotional development, and a strong foundation for future success.

We invite you to explore this opportunity and join our vibrant and caring learning community!

"Giving your child the gift of a second language"

Are you interested in Dual Language Immersion for your preschooler? For the upcoming 2026-2027 school year, we are excited to offer a Dual Language Immersion preschool program to enhance early learning experiences.

The Dual Language Immersion Program is an academic program that enhances the development of content in two languages-English and Spanish, as well as literacy in both languages, so that students will graduate ready for college, career, and life in a globally competitive economy and a collaborative global community. This unique program builds student linguistic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in both English and Spanish. Students learn standards-based content as they become linguistically and academically proficient in two languages.

After preschool, students can continue the Dual Language program at Cottonwood Plains Elementary or Truscott Elementary. If you are interested in this preschool learning opportunity, please indicate your interest in the Preschool Interest Form.

Chromebook Insurance Options for Families

There’s still time to insure your student’s Chromebook! Learn more about insurance options and pricing on our website at tsd.org/its > Tech 4 All > Chromebook Insurance. One break is typically more expensive than the cost of insurance.

Lost or broken Charging cord?

Visit the Tech4All section of our website to purchase a new, approved Chromebook charger. Purchasing from our website is often $10-$15 less than the $25 fine for a missing charger.

Securly Home gives families a view of their child’s online activity on district devices.

Do you qualify for Free & Reduced Meal Benefits?

ALL families are still asked to fill out an application. Why? The Healthy School Meals for All (HSMA) program is funded in partnership with federal nutrition programs that rely on income information to support meals for all students. Other state and federal grants are awarded based on free and reduced meal eligibility rates.

Additionally, families that qualify may receive discounted or waived fees for programs inside and outside of the school district.

Instructional Fees

The instructional materials fee is charged to each student annually. This money is utilized for buying textbooks and extracurricular materials for our school, replacing old materials, or replenishing items students use.

Middle Level Exploration Class Fees

These fees are charged to students participating in specific classes and activities. This fee is based on the cost of materials and supplies that have been depleted and need to be replenished.

Middle Level Athletic Fees

The Athletic fee helps to support referees, transportation, equipment and uniforms.

Tech4All Damage/Loss Fine

If a student's device gets lost or damaged and turned in for repair, any costs incurred will be charged to the student’s account.

At Peakview Academy at Conrad Ball, we are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment for all students. To help everyone feel comfortable and secure, we want to remind families of our physical interaction expectations, which align with the district’s Code of Conduct.

Students are expected to keep their hands and bodies to themselves at all times—this includes classrooms, hallways, playgrounds, buses, and all school-related activities. Appropriate physical interactions include handshakes, high-fives, and participation in supervised activities like PE, sports, and recess games, always with mutual consent.

Inappropriate interactions, such as roughhousing, hugging, kissing, hand-holding, or touching another person’s belongings or body, will result in reminders and redirection. Repeated or serious violations may lead to additional consequences.

These expectations are highlighted in our PVA Learner & Family Handbook.

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure that Peakview Academy remains a safe and welcoming space for all learners!
