Carrie Martin Weekly
October 23, 2026
Carrie Martin students will be having their Halloween celebrations on Friday, October 30th. Our school wide parade will be at 2:15 throughout the building, then classroom celebrations will follow at about 2:30. All parents attending will need to sign in and remain in your child's classroom during the parade to leave the halls clear. The parade will be going through all classrooms. Please contact your student's teacher directly if you are interested in planning or helping with their class party or providing a snack. STORE BOUGHT and NUT FREE ONLY. Costumes can be worn to school in the morning and are permitted with the following guidelines:
- NO blood, guts or gore
- NO weapons
- Face paint/makeup is permitted, but must be applied AT HOME
- Masks are permitted, but will need to be removed during learning time at the teacher's discretion.
Each month, our CMES families have the opportunity to win access to our VIP Parking Space at the front of the building for pickup and drop off times. One person will be drawn randomly on the last day of each month to have access to that space for the upcoming month. Buy a ticket today to win for November!
Supporting Strong School Attendance: A Guide for Families

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
