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!

Students will arrive at 6:00 PM. The choir will start promptly at 6:30, followed by the orchestra and the band. We Look forward to seeing you at the concert!

Ms. Hanshew and Ms. Massey

Please use this link to access the PVA Scholastic Book Fair. You can order from March 2 - March 6, set up a Book Fair eWallet, etc.

https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/peakviewacademy

You can also make conferences during the conference times in the library.

We have begun a new email reminder for families to let them know when a student's book is overdue. Ms. Plagman is happy to answer any questions if you respond to the email. Please note that as a Title 1 school we do not charge fines for lost or damaged books but will accept donations at the office toward replacing a book. Students who have previously attended another Thompson school may still have a fine showing on their account and this can be addressed a couple of ways:

1. Contact that school and pay the fine. If it is a financial difficulty to do so please email Ms. Plagman (lorelei.plagman@tsd.org) and she will have it removed. Fines do stay on student's accounts until they graduate and need to be reconciled to receive their diploma.

2. Our 3rd through 5th graders can "work" off their fine by helping clean and straighten books in the library. Once Ms. Plagman hears from an adult in the household that a book has been searched for and is lost or is irreparably damaged she marks it lost in the catalog and the student in most cases is allowed to check out a book again. It is important for an adult to notify by email or a written note rather than just the student reporting it themselves.

Please see the reminder below about taking acre of the books you check out from our library. Thank you for helping teach responsibility and accountability to our students at Peakview!

Ms. Plagman

As always, questions and concerns can be sent to lorelei.plagman@tsd.org.

Middle level students will continue to meet every Monday after school, and every Thursday at lunch for time to read / talk about the books / practice trivia.

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.

While some pollutants are removed during wastewater treatment, rain and snowmelt can wash oil, fertilizers, pet waste, and trash into storm drains. This untreated water flows directly into local streams, harming aquatic life. Keep it clean — only rain down the drain!

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. The app sends real time alerts for flagged activity, provides weekly activity summaries, and allows parents and guardians to see which sites their child is visiting. It also offers simple tools for setting filtering preferences when the Chromebook is off campus, helping families support safe and healthy device use at home.

Athlete must have and updated Sports Physical & completed Big Teams Registration to be able to practice.

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!
