Thank you for coming to conferences with us these past 2 weeks. We hope that you have enjoyed learning about your child's goals and progress and seeing what they are learning and that you have a clearer picture of their experience at school.

We have a PTO and School Accountability Meeting this week from 3:30-5:00pm and we would love it if you can join us and learn about our school goals and upcoming events. Childcare and food is provided and we value your input.

We have heard from some parents that it has been unsafe and chaotic outside school on arrival and are looking at providing additional supervision out there and having students line up and be more orderly before we let them in the building. Please talk with your students about this.

Please reach out with any compliments, questions or concerns.

We want to hear from our families and community members about how we are doing, both from an individual school perspective and throughout the entire district.

Please take a few minutes to give us this important feedback!

Students will be coming home with a letter and envelope explaining this event, along with a link to make electronic donations. We hope to see you there and thank you so much for your continued support!

Our Halloween Family Dance will be on Friday, October 30th from 5:30-7:00. We'd love to see you there!

Spanish-Speaking families are invited to sign up for this upcoming Health, Nutrition, and Cooking Class at TSD's FACE Center. We may have future classes in English, as well.

With flu season starting, we want to review our school’s illness guidelines to help keep everyone healthy and safe!

Attendance is very important! Being at school regularly helps students stay on track with their learning. However, staying home when sick helps prevent the spread of illness and protects our school community.

Please keep your child home if they:

• Have a fever of 100.4°F or higher. Students may return after being fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication.

• Have vomiting or diarrhea. Students may return 24 hours after the last episode.

Thank you for helping us prevent the spread of illness and keep our school community healthy. We appreciate your support!

Thompson School District’s cell phone and personal technology device policy is designed to foster a supportive educational environment with fewer distractions for students. In general, once students enter a school building, their personal technology devices—including cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, laptops, cameras, and similar devices—must be put away and inaccessible unless a specific exception applies. Students at every grade level may only use personal devices when a teacher specifically authorizes them for instructional purposes or when required by an IEP, Section 504 Plan, medical need or emergency.

Elementary and Middle Schools

Students are generally not allowed to use personal devices at any point during the school day while on campus, including before school, passing periods, lunch, and after school.
