TVHS Safety and Security Expectations
Students,
Beginning Monday, August 31, the following expectations will be in place. These procedures are intended to help maintain a safe and secure campus, protect instructional time, and minimize disruptions to the school day.
Please review the following expectations carefully:
- Leaving Campus During ELO or Lunch: If you choose to leave campus during ELO or lunch, you will not be permitted to re-enter the building until the end of that period.
- Student ID Required: Students entering through designated student entrances must have either their physical student ID or access to their Infinite Campus ID on their phone. If you do not have either form of identification, you must enter through the main entrance.
- Late Arrival: If you arrive late to school or return late to the building, you must enter through the main entrance.
- Secure Exterior Doors: Do not hold exterior doors open for other students or prop doors open at any time. Everyone entering the building must follow the appropriate entry procedures. Keeping our building secure is everyone's responsibility.
- Skateboards, Scooters, and E-Scooters: Riding skateboards, scooters, or e-scooters is not permitted on school grounds. Please walk and properly store these items while on campus.
- Food Delivery Services: School personnel will not accept DoorDash or other food-delivery orders for students. Students will not be released from class to meet a delivery driver or pick up an order.
- Vending Machine Use: Students may use the vending machines during passing periods and lunch only. Students should not visit the vending machines during instructional time or while out of class for a bathroom break. A bathroom break is not an opportunity to purchase snacks or drinks. Please plan accordingly and use the vending machines at the appropriate times.
These expectations are designed to keep our campus safe and secure while protecting instructional time. We appreciate your cooperation and your role in creating a positive school environment.
Thank you,

Health & Wellness Scoop
September Health Spotlight
Did you know that September is Healthy Aging Month? While “healthy aging” may sound like something for adults, the habits we build when we’re young—staying active, eating nutritious foods, getting enough sleep, drinking water, and taking care of our mental health—can help us stay healthy throughout our entire lives!
Hydration Station
As we settle into the school year, please remember to send your student to school with a water bottle each day. Staying hydrated can help students feel more alert, support concentration, and keep their bodies working at their best. Encourage your student to take regular water breaks throughout the day, especially after physical activity or during warmer weather.
Fun fact: Your brain is made up of about 73% water, so staying hydrated is important for both the body and the brain!
Coming Up: Hearing & Vision Screenings
Our hearing and vision screenings will be held September 29 and 30.
If your student wears glasses, please make sure they bring their glasses to school on their screening day! Having their glasses available allows us to screen their vision as accurately as possible.
Immunization Exclusion Day
Immunization Exclusion Day is coming in the near future. The date will be announced soon, so please stay tuned for more information from the school.
As always, if you have questions about your student’s health needs at school, please reach out to the Health Office. Cristina Frick (Health Aide) 970-613-7918 and Sheila Calder (Nurse) 970-613-6957
Stay tuned for more announcements, reminders, and the latest scoop from the Health Office!
September Library Challenge: Sora in September
This month, challenge yourself to explore Sora, our digital library app. There are thousands of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, and more available to read, right at your fingertips!

Protect Your Student’s Chromebook with Safeware Insurance
Chromebooks are part of students’ everyday routines, moving between classrooms, backpacks, homes, and activities throughout the school year. With that everyday use, accidents can happen. Thompson School District encourages families to consider purchasing Safeware Chromebook insurance to help protect against unexpected repair costs.
For $25–$36 per year, depending on the Chromebook model, Safeware coverage includes common accidental damage such as cracked screens, drops and falls, liquid spills, along with covered parts and labor. There are no deductibles or service fees for covered repairs.
How it works
Purchase coverage directly from Safeware using district ID: DIST0132
If damage happens, there is no claim for families to file.
Bring the damaged Chromebook to the library at your student’s school.
TSD handles the rest, working directly with Safeware on your behalf.
Without insurance, families may be responsible for the cost of repairs. Common charges include $44 for a screen, $34 for a keyboard, $29 for a battery, and up to $146 for a system board, such as water damage. Full device replacement can cost $200–$300, depending on the model. For more information on device repair costs, visit TSD’s website.
Please note that Safeware insurance does not cover loss of the device or deliberate damage.
Questions? Contact the ITS Help Desk at 970-613-7777.
