Welcome to TSD’s 1:1 program, a vital component of Thompson’s Strive 2025 Strategic plan. Our 1:1 program has been rebranded as Tech4All, enhancing student learning through technology. We invite you to be our valued partner as we empower and equip every student with the digital tools they need to thrive in today's rapidly evolving digital world. Tech4All supports TSD’s strategic plan by providing digital tools;

• our students can "demonstrate their learning in meaningful ways", including using the digital tools of their future,

• we are creating "learning conditions that enable students to reach their fullest potential."

  
  

With Tech4All, students will have the opportunity to harness the full potential of technology in their educational journey. Whether it's exploring interactive digital textbooks, collaborating with peers on virtual projects, or engaging in immersive educational experiences, the possibilities are truly limitless. Each student will receive a TSD digital learning device, ensuring equitable access to resources and enabling personalized learning experiences.

• K-1st grade will receive an iPad

• 2-5th grade students will receive a touch screen Chromebook

• 6- 12th grade students will receive a Chromebook

  
  

Your child’s device will serve as their digital learning tool for as long as they remain in the Thompson School District. Each year their device will transition to their next grade level and will be replaced when they transition to Middle School or High School.

Students and families are responsible for the care and safety of their district device. Students are expected to bring their device with them to class, charged and ready to go each day. All students will receive documentation on how to maintain their device, keep it safe, digital citizenship and any school specific requirements for digital learning using their district Tech4All device.

Tech4All is not just a program; it's a commitment to bridge the digital divide and empower our students to thrive in the digital age. Together, we will embark on a transformative educational journey that prepares our students for a future filled with innovation and opportunity. There may be questions as we implement Tech4All.

Level the Playing Field

The Student Athlete Fund removes barriers for Thompson School District student athletes to access opportunities that would otherwise be inaccessible because of financial need. The Student Athlete Fund is intended as a last resort to fill gaps or shortfalls when other funding sources can’t meet the full need of the opportunity and are intended to level the playing field for our student athletes.

Examples of opportunities include:

-Registration fees for activities and sports

-Letter Jackets

-Personal athletic gear (e.g., track shoes, soccer cleats, mouth guards, etc.)

-Practice items (e.g., practice suits, gloves, etc.)
