PVA families/community,

It has been a true privilege to serve as the Interim Principal of Peakview Academy during the 2025–2026 school year. I have greatly enjoyed working alongside our learners, staff, and families and being part of such a supportive community. As the district moves forward with the process of selecting Peakview’s next principal, I look forward to supporting and partnering closely with the selected leader to ensure continued success for our school in the years to come.

Vivian Pankow

Interim Principal

Peakview Academy at Conrad Ball

Any students in 5th -7th grade that would like to try an orchestra or band instrument, Please attend this event.

You will have the opportunity to try all the instruments and see which one you like best. This will also help you know which class to take in middle school - band or orchestra. We hope to see you there!

Michele Massey, Band & Orchestra Director

In April, our 3rd through 8th-grade students will participate in the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) assessments. These students will take English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. In addition, 4th and 7th-graders will take Social Studies, and 5th and 8th-graders will take Science. Testing will take place from April 6 through April 23, 2026. Students do not have school on April 24, 2026.

These state assessments, developed by the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and teachers across the state, measure how well students are mastering Colorado’s academic standards. The results provide valuable information about your child’s progress and help our teachers refine instruction, strengthen supports, and plan for the upcoming school year. Just as important, participation ensures we have accurate information about how our school is serving all students and where we can continue to improve.

Your child’s participation is essential; when students take part in CMAS, the results more fully reflect the learning happening in our classrooms and help guide decisions about programs, resources, and supports that directly benefit our school community.

To support your child during testing:

• Please prioritize attendance on testing days.
• Avoid scheduling appointments between April 6–23 if possible.
• Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep, arrives on time, and is ready to do their best.

If your child must be absent, please contact your child’s teacher or the front office so we can arrange a make-up session.

Please know, due to test security, learners will not have access to personal cell phones, air pods, smart watches, or Meta glasses during test sessions. Medical monitoring devices are the only exception. Please call our office if you need to communicate with your child.

Additional information, including a general state assessment schedule and frequently asked questions, is available on the Thompson School District website under Assessments of Learning. You may also explore resources from CDE through their Assessment website at https://ed.cde.state.co.us/assessment, including information about the role and purpose of state assessments and family guides to finding and understanding results.

We appreciate your partnership in supporting your child and our school community.

Thank You,

The last week for library book check-outs will be the last week of April. All books will be due Monday May 4th so that we can complete our inventory and round up missing/lost books. We currently have 119 overdue books. Please take a look around while you do some Spring cleaning for any missing books. Please email Ms. Plagman at lorelei.plagman@tsd.org if you have questions or concerns regarding a lost or damaged book. Thank you for keeping our books safe and returning them in a timely manner for all of our learners to enjoy!

Ms. Plagman

Battle of the Books

Congratulations to our Battle of the Books teams who competed on March 28th at a district meet. Our 3rd graders battled hard against 15 other teams. Our 4th and 6th grade teams both took 3rd place and our 5th grade team took 1st place! The 4th, 5th and 6th grade teams move on to a regional meet at Mountain View High School on April 18th where they will compete against the top teams from Boulder Valley. Best of luck to them!

It’s that time of year again! We are officially opening the Annual Family Check-In for the

upcoming 2026-2027 school year.

Why is this so important?

We want to ensure every student is safe, supported, and reachable. Updating your information in

Infinite Campus is the only way to guarantee we have the most accurate data for:

 Emergency Contacts: Who do we call if your child needs you?

 Health Information: Keeping our nursing staff up to date on allergies or medications.

 Communication: Ensuring you receive school closures, event invites, and grade reports.

"But my information hasn't changed!"

We still need you to complete the check-in! Even if your address and phone number are

exactly the same as last year, the system requires a fresh "digital signature" to confirm your data

is current for the new school year. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes a world of difference

for our staff and your student.

How to Complete Your Check-In:

1. Log In: Visit your [Infinite Campus Parent Portal].

2. Navigate: Look for the "Annual Family Check-In"

3. Review & Submit: Double-check your details, make any necessary edits, and hit submit!

Thank you for helping us start the 2026-2027 year strong!

Dear families of students attending Colorado kindergarten through 12th grade schools for the 2026-27 school year:

The letter below includes important information and other resources about Colorado’s immunization requirements to attend school. There’s nothing more important than making sure your child stays healthy and learning all year long. Routine vaccination can prevent the spread of diseases like measles, mumps, varicella (chickenpox), whooping cough, and others, so kids can just be kids. The vast majority of Colorado families choose to protect their children through vaccination. Please review this letter.

In the Thompson School District, we are committed to providing high-quality early childhood education led by dedicated and highly skilled teachers and paraprofessionals. To further support our students, Speech-Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists visit weekly, and our Early Childhood Coordinator staff provide continuous classroom support, feedback, and coaching.

We use research-based curricula to foster growth in literacy, math, language, motor skills, and social-emotional learning. Our curriculum aligns with Preschool through Grade 12 State Academic Standards and meets federal Head Start Child Outcomes, ensuring our students develop the foundational skills needed for future success.

We believe that strong relationships are at the heart of learning. Our classrooms are designed to foster meaningful connections between students, teachers, and families, creating a supportive and inclusive community where every child feels valued and inspired to grow. By building these relationships, we nurture a love for learning, social-emotional development, and a strong foundation for future success.

We invite you to explore this opportunity and join our vibrant and caring learning community!

If you are interested in being a part of our preschool community, please complete this interest form: Preschool Interest Form

"Giving your child the gift of a second language"

Are you interested in Dual Language Immersion for your preschooler? For the upcoming 2026-2027 school year, we are excited to offer a Dual Language Immersion preschool program to enhance early learning experiences.

The Dual Language Immersion Program is an academic program that enhances the development of content in two languages-English and Spanish, as well as literacy in both languages, so that students will graduate ready for college, career, and life in a globally competitive economy and a collaborative global community. This unique program builds student linguistic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in both English and Spanish. Students learn standards-based content as they become linguistically and academically proficient in two languages.

After preschool, students can continue the Dual Language program at Cottonwood Plains Elementary or Truscott Elementary. If you are interested in this preschool learning opportunity, please indicate your interest in the Preschool Interest Form.

Chromebook Insurance Options for Families

There’s still time to insure your student’s Chromebook! Learn more about insurance options and pricing on our website at tsd.org/its > Tech 4 All > Chromebook Insurance. One break is typically more expensive than the cost of insurance.

Lost or broken Charging cord?

Visit the Tech4All section of our website to purchase a new, approved Chromebook charger. Purchasing from our website is often $10-$15 less than the $25 fine for a missing charger.

Securly Home gives families a view of their child’s online activity on district devices. The app sends real time alerts for flagged activity, provides weekly activity summaries, and allows parents and guardians to see which sites their child is visiting. It also offers simple tools for setting filtering preferences when the Chromebook is off campus, helping families support safe and healthy device use at home.

Athlete must have and updated Sports Physical & completed Big Teams Registration to be able to practice.

Do you qualify for Free & Reduced Meal Benefits?

ALL families are still asked to fill out an application. Why? The Healthy School Meals for All (HSMA) program is funded in partnership with federal nutrition programs that rely on income information to support meals for all students. Other state and federal grants are awarded based on free and reduced meal eligibility rates.

Additionally, families that qualify may receive discounted or waived fees for programs inside and outside of the school district.

Instructional Fees

The instructional materials fee is charged to each student annually. This money is utilized for buying textbooks and extracurricular materials for our school, replacing old materials, or replenishing items students use.

Middle Level Exploration Class Fees

These fees are charged to students participating in specific classes and activities. This fee is based on the cost of materials and supplies that have been depleted and need to be replenished.

Middle Level Athletic Fees

The Athletic fee helps to support referees, transportation, equipment and uniforms.

Tech4All Damage/Loss Fine

If a student's device gets lost or damaged and turned in for repair, any costs incurred will be charged to the student’s account.

At Peakview Academy at Conrad Ball, we are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment for all students. To help everyone feel comfortable and secure, we want to remind families of our physical interaction expectations, which align with the district’s Code of Conduct.

Students are expected to keep their hands and bodies to themselves at all times—this includes classrooms, hallways, playgrounds, buses, and all school-related activities. Appropriate physical interactions include handshakes, high-fives, and participation in supervised activities like PE, sports, and recess games, always with mutual consent.

Inappropriate interactions, such as roughhousing, hugging, kissing, hand-holding, or touching another person’s belongings or body, will result in reminders and redirection. Repeated or serious violations may lead to additional consequences.

These expectations are highlighted in our PVA Learner & Family Handbook.

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure that Peakview Academy remains a safe and welcoming space for all learners!
