Thomson Elementary

Welcome to Thomson Elementary!

We’re so excited to have new families joining our Thomson community, even after the first day of school. Whether you’ve just moved to the area or are joining us from another school, know that you are now part of a caring, connected, and spirited family.

Our halls are filled with learning, laughter, and friendships in the making, and we can’t wait for you to be part of it all. We’re here to help make the transition smooth for both students and parents—please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Welcome to the Thomson family—we’re so glad you’re here! 💙

Warmly,

Principal Evans

Our staff members have dedicated their lives to our students and not only work hard to ensure they are learning but also to ensure they are safe. Here are some of the ways that we are committed to providing as safe as a space as possible :

• Every staff member is trained annually about what to do in case of an emergency situation.

• We are grateful to have an officer here daily with us from the Prosper ISD police department. This year our Officer will be Officer Michael Martinez.

• Every campus is audited by our police department every year.

• Every exterior door is examined by our maintenance staff and police department daily to ensure that automatic locking systems are operational.

• Every campus has controlled access to enter the building. Security vestibules are hardened and locked during the day.

• Bullet-resistant glass in strategic areas.

• Additional response measures that are in constant operation, that we cannot reveal because of the need for secrecy around these security assets.

• Our front door will open at 7:25 am and teachers will be in their classrooms at that time, ready to greet students.
• The main doors for the entrance in the front and the back of the school will be monitored by staff for student entry (and dismissal). Any students dropped off before the building is open will not be allowed inside the building.
• Parents in any grade level may use either the front or back car line for drop off in the morning. We run one lane in each location.
• While we will have staff in the front car line to assist with opening doors, please teach your child how to unbuckle and exit the car on the passenger side. This will help with traffic flow in the mornings.

• Parents and guardians will be asked to complete a Student Information Form to
• Walkers/Bikers will be have a staggered dismissal from the exit the gym (front of building). All sibling connections will take place outside of the building. If your child is an accompanied walker, please line up at the doors outside of the gym (see map below). All walkers will take the sidewalk to Bancroft Drive. A crossing guard will be present to assist you.
• Walker dismissal comes in two methods - accompanied or unaccompanied. Parents who choose "accompanied" will be asked to provide their car tag with their child's name for them to be released from the gym door exit. Anyone who doesn’t have a car tag, will be directed to the office area and asked to provide identification. We realize this may be an inconvenience but our focus will always remain on student safety. Please note that there will be a line for accompanied walker pickup, particularly on the first days of school.
• Parents may not park and walk up to the front of the building to retrieve a child from the car line zone. This is to ensure the safety of all students! If you plan to walk to school to pick up your student, please designate him or her as a walker. You may then pick them up at the gym doors. Otherwise, we kindly ask that you remain in your vehicle within the car line.

Grades Pre-K-2 and Older Siblings

You will use the front carpool lane. We will use two lanes to dismiss students in front carpool. Staff members will guide you through the line so there is no need to exit the vehicle. Please remain in your car for instructions to pull forward. We will load two lanes of 6 cars at a time and then all may pull forward and exit the parking area. Please remain stopped until the attendant puts down the stop sign – this ensures the space is clear before moving vehicles. In an effort to maintain a safe environment, we will issue car tags that include your child’s last name and grade level. This sign will need to be displayed from your rearview mirror. If someone other than you will pick up your child in the afternoon, please make certain they are provided with the car tag. Anyone who doesn’t have a car tag, will be directed to the office area and asked to provide identification. We realize this may be an inconvenience but our focus will always remain on student safety.

Grades 3-5

At this time, Pre-K families will not have the opportunity to join their child for lunch. Since our Pre-K programs across the district have different spaces and supports available, we want to ensure a consistent and equitable experience for all Pre-K students and families

All visitors must park in the lot, check in with a valid ID, receive a visitor badge, and wear it while on campus. We look forward to welcoming families throughout the year!
