TES COMMUNITY & FAMILY NEW!

Thank you for helping us kick off the 2025-2026 school year with such a strong start! We are so happy to have our Timberwolf scholars back on campus, learning, growing, and shining each day. As we continue this journey together, we know it takes a true partnership between home and school. With your support in a few important areas, we can make this year an amazing one for every child.

• Attendance: Please help your child be at school on time each day, ready to learn. Every day counts in their success.

• Learning at Home: Take a few minutes each evening to ask your child about their day, read together, or review homework. Small moments make a big difference.

• Positive Behavior: Encourage your child to follow our P.A.C.K. expectations—being polite and prepared, paying attention to academics, cooperating with others, and showing kindness to all.

• Communication: Stay connected with us through newsletters, phone calls, emails, and campus events. We value your voice and partnership.

Together, we are ONE VISION. ONE VOICE. ONE PACK. With your support, we know this school year will be full of growth, joy, and success for our scholars!

Smart Tag allows parents and guardians to track their students on and off the bus, plus receive a phone notification when the bus is nearby.

Your continued support is needed with following the established safety protocols set on campus to ensure the safety of all scholars.

1. When dropping scholars off to campus, please do not leave scholars on the school property before 7:35am as there will be no adult supervision before that time.

2. Please do not drop your scholars off on the curb or sidewalk. Please utilize the car rider line to ensure a potential accident does not happen.

3. If you walk your scholars to school, please do not enter through the doors beyond the cones but rather stop and allow your scholars to enter and walk to class.

4. Please be sure that your scholar(s) is in their grade level dress code daily.

5. Please be sure that your scholar(s) arrive between 7:35 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. This will give them time to eat their breakfast before it is over and instruction starts at 8:05 a.m. sharp

6. If you drop your scholar off after 8:05a, you must walk them into the building and sign them in at the front office.

7. Please be sure that your scholar(s) have their transportation tags daily: (Car rider, Bus, Daycare, Walker/Biker)

8. Lost tags will incur a cost to be paid at the front office for new ones.

9. If you plan to pick your scholar(s) up early, make sure it is before 2:45 p.m. We will not be able to release anyone scholar(s) after this time to ensure that their is no interruption in the dismissal process.

10. Please understand that we will not allow routine transportation changes for any scholars. Choose one mode of transportation so that there will not be any chances of scholars being lost. This aids all staff and Guest Teachers in knowing the one mode of transportation for a scholar.

It is necessary that all protocols are followed daily and consistently to ensure the safety of all scholars and staff. We appreciate your diligence and support.

Thank you,

Principal Day

Thompson Elementary is getting a lot of new upgrades to enhance our learning community. Just to give you a snippet, construction you see off of the Walters Road side of the playground is the newly created Spark Park. The link is below; read all about it. They are EVERYWHERE in the Houston Area.

We are now a fully launched STEM Academy Campus with an intricate focus on science, technology, engineering, and math through specifically designed lessons. Because of this, our Spark Park will be a STEM SPARK PARK!

As with any new facing, you have to have a newly designed logo. Check it out below.
