Spring Break Reminder

There will be no school from March 16th to March 20th for Spring Break. We hope all of our students and families enjoy a restful week off.

Additionally, I would like to take a moment to remind everyone about our Hub at Lincoln. It is a place where we can connect you with temporary food and clothing resources. Additionally, we can get you connected with other resources within Larimer County including employment services, the Food Bank, Housing resources, and many other services. I encourage you to reach out to Tanya Santacruz at Tanya.Santacruz@tsd.org or at 970-613-6200 if this is something you may need to access.

Along those same lines, please consider completing the free and reduced lunch form. Each year the for needs to be submitted for requalification. The application process is quick and confidential.

This is for the safety of our students and staff. We appreciate your cooperation with this important matter.

We’re getting ready for family conferences (March 4 and 5) and would love your input. Sharing your thoughts ahead of time helps us make the most of our time together and focus on what matters most for your student.

The Healthy Kids 5210+ Challenge submission form is officially open and ready for your entries.

Submission form link: https://redcap.ucdenver.edu/surveys/?s=RJHT4RMHP7NNR479

Key Reminders:

• Deadline: The submission form closes Thursday, March 5 at 9:00 PM.

• T‑Shirt Eligibility: PK–5 students and staff who submit their logs online and earn 80+ checks will receive a free T‑shirt. Shirts will arrive by the first week of May.

• Every Log Counts: We want everyone to submit a log—even if they didn’t earn a T‑shirt. Logs with 10+ checks boost your school’s participation rate and can help your school earn wellness initiative funding.

This month’s focus is Cooperation. One way to think about Cooperation is “working together to reach shared goals.” As a family, talk about how this definition applies to how you work together at home. What are some goals you share?

PurposeFull Pursuits Have some fun connecting as a family this month while practicing Cooperation. Here are 2 “PurposeFull Pursuits” you can complete together! #1 Cooperation is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Kind. Across grade levels, students will be developing skills like perspective-taking, conflict resolution, and leadership.

New Attendance Letter Process

We wanted to share an update about a new district-wide process for attendance communication this year. The district has now enabled an automated attendance letter system, which will send notifications to families when a student reaches 4, 7, 10, and 30 days absent. These letters are designed to keep families informed about their child’s attendance and to help identify any potential attendance concerns early on.

Please know that while these letters are automatically generated, we still greatly appreciate your continued communication when your child will be absent. We understand that illnesses and family circumstances come up, and we do not expect students to attend school when they are sick.

Attendance Fact of the Month:

Students who are chronically absent in the early years of their education miss crucial school readiness skills such as critical and creative thinking and problem-solving. This negatively affects social and emotional development.

Attendance Tip of the Month:

Set a consistent bedtime and morning routine. Try laying out clothes and packing backpacks the night before. Being at school every day helps children build problem-solving skills, confidence, and positive relationships that support social and emotional growth.

Thank you for helping us support strong attendance and a healthy learning environment for all students!

For more information visit our Attendance Page on our website!

You can report your child's absence on the parent portal, by calling the attendance line, or calling the main office! See instructions below.

• Attendance Line: 970-613-6290
• Main Office: 970-613-6200

During periods of inclement weather, Thompson School District is occasionally faced with the difficult decision on whether or not to close schools. You can find more information about this process and how these announcements are communicated here:

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday

7:45 Soft Start

8:00 Final Bell

3:10 Dismissal

Wednesday (Late Start)

8:45 Soft Start

9:00 Final Bell

3:10 Dismissal

All students will enter and exit through our main entrance located on 33rd between Logan and Douglas. This shift is to increase safety for our students. We will continue to have soft start. Soft start means that your child can enter the school 15 minutes before the bell. On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, students may enter the building at 7:45. Wednesdays will continue to be a late start day. Students will be able to enter the building at 8:45 on Wednesdays. The final bell rings at 8:00. Students will be walked out our main entrance at the end of the day for a 3:10 dismissal.

Hug and Go

Our Hug and Go lane is located at the front of the school along 33rd. Please know that this lane is intended for quick drop off and pick up. We ask that parents utilizing the Hug and Go stay in their car and to have their students jump in and out of the car quickly. We appreciate your support in keeping the front of the school running safely!

While some pollutants are removed during wastewater treatment, rain and snowmelt can wash oil, fertilizers, pet waste, and trash into storm drains. This untreated water flows directly into local streams, harming aquatic life. Keep it clean — only rain down the drain!
