Each week, TMS staff recognize students who go above and beyond in demonstrating our P.R.O. expectations: Perseverance, Respect, and Ownership. Students who earn a PRO Award are celebrated for the positive choices they make and the example they set for our Dragon community.

We are so proud of this week’s PRO Award recipients! Keep leading the way, Dragons!

Beginning November 13, Thompson School District will adjust how students in grades K–8 access YouTube through their district accounts. Students will no longer be able to visit YouTube directly to search for or browse videos. However, they will still be able to watch educational videos that their teacher has selected and shared through Google Classroom or in Google Slides. Teachers will continue to have access to YouTube to find and select videos that support classroom instruction.

By providing videos directly within classroom learning activities, teachers can guide students toward content that aligns with their learning goals.
