Dear RET Families,


As we step into the festive month of December, I want to extend warm greetings to each and every one of our RET families. It's hard to believe how quickly this school year is passing, and it's been an absolute joy to witness the growth and accomplishments of our students. I want to express my sincere appreciation to our students, parents, and staff for your continued commitment to creating a positive and engaging learning environment.


As we approach the winter break, I encourage you to take a moment to celebrate your child's achievements, big and small. Whether it's mastering a new concept in class, participating in extracurricular activities, or demonstrating acts of kindness, each accomplishment contributes to the vibrant tapestry of our school community.


Looking ahead, December is packed with exciting events and activities. Our teachers are planning engaging lessons, and we have some festive surprises in store for the students. Additionally, please mark your calendars for December 14th from 6:00-7:30 pm when we will be hosting the R.E. Thompson Jingle Bell Ball—an opportunity for our families to come together and celebrate the holiday season.


Lastly, I want to wish each of you a joyful and restful holiday season. May this time be filled with laughter, love, and precious moments with your loved ones.


Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in your child's education. Together, we make R.E. Thompson Intermediate School a special place for our students to learn, grow, and thrive.


Wishing you all the best for a wonderful December!


Warm regards,

Mallory Kincaid

Principal

Shoals Pharmacy Shoals Pharmacy

This year RET will be following along with GWT to focus on student achievement, character education, and increased attendance. We understand how expensive life can be; we also understand that transportation can be a burden at times.

We are extremely excited about our monthly attendance initiative rolling out at the end of this month. We have partnered with local businesses that are dedicated to public education in an effort to increase our daily rate attendance at RET.

Each month, we will print our perfect attendance report and enter the names into a drawing. The winner will receive a $30 Walmart gift card. The fun part of this it’s for the parent/guardian in charge of transportation. We have some fun plans to reward our students as well.

So let’s spotlight our August-May sponsors: Shoals Pharmacy! Thank you for helping us unleash the superhero in our students!
