Supporting Strong School Attendance: A Guide for Families
Consistent school attendance supports students’ academic performance, social development, and future success. We understand that illness, emergencies, and family challenges happen. If you need support, please reach out.
Every day matters - because when You’re Here Today, You’re Ready for Tomorrow!
You can read more about the district's updated attendance policy in the letter attached below.
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 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.
Through this policy, district students will engage in an environment that is best suited to maximize learning and support. Benefits include:
- Improved student learning and academic performance
- A safer, more focused learning environment
- Improved student well-being and social interaction
