Dear Edmondson Families,

We thank you and your family for being our valued partners as we work together to educate the children in our district. Thompson School District values input from our community – and we need to hear from your child or children!

In order to ensure we are making progress on school and district goals, we will be asking students in grades 3-12 to participate in a brief online survey. The survey will ask students to self-reflect on a sense of belonging and teacher-student relationships. The questions are the same questions they answered on those topics in their Fall Climate and Culture Survey.

Your child will be invited to participate in this survey online during regular school hours during the week of April 28, 2025. Students will be invited to participate in the survey, as well as informed that they do not have to answer any questions that they do not wish to answer. The survey shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes to complete. Please click on these links for survey questions: Grades 3-5 Shortened Student Survey, Grades 6-12 Shortened Student Survey.

Student responses to the survey will be confidential. We are partnering with a third-party vendor who has signed the district’s Data Privacy Agreement to ensure all required online encryption protocols are followed. While your child's teacher cannot see individual answers, they will be able to see your child's needs by topic (e.g., sense of belonging) to be able to support them appropriately.

Please notify us if you would like your child to opt out of taking the surveys by filling in your name and your child’s name below and returning it to school by April 25, 2025.

If you have any questions about the survey administration, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 970-613-6300.

Sincerely,

John Berg, Principal

Edmondson Elementary School

Are you interested in your child being ready for kindergarten? The Thompson School District's Integrated Early Childhood Program provides quality preschool experiences for three and four year olds at 15 different sites around the Loveland and Berthoud area.

If your child will be 3 or 4 years old by October 1, 2025, your child may be eligible to participate in the Thompson School District's Early Childhood Program. We ask all interested families to complete our Preschool Interest Form available on our preschool website. If you have any questions about our program, please call 970-613-5052.

Please remember that you cannot make a u-turn in front of the school at ANYTIME. This is very dangerous for families crossing at the crosswalk. Also, Please do not drop off or pick up your students in front of the staff parking out front OR the bus lane. This is not a safe spot. Please park in the lot or on the street and have your student walk to the crosswalk.

Hug and Go Lane: Please do not park and exit your car in the hug and go lane. If you want to park and meet your student on the lawn please park in the neighborhood and walk.

For the 2024/25 school year, the Thompson School District will provide access to no-cost meals for all students through the Healthy School Meals for All program.

Research shows students perform better at school when they are not hungry. By providing access to breakfast and lunch for all students at no cost, we better support their learning.

Although all students will receive access to no-cost meals, it's still important for households to provide their income information when requested. Gathering this information allows the Thompson School District to receive the state and federal funding we qualify for. These funds go directly to schools to help cover the cost of meals and support after-school activities and other nutritional programs for students. Plus, qualifying households may be eligible for Summer EBT benefits, receive discounted or waived school fees, class materials, utilities support, and more.

Providing household income information ensures you and your school receive all available financial support.

The attachments contain more information and forms to provide your household income information. While the following pages may reference eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals, access to breakfast and lunch will be provided free to all students regardless of household income.

Our school meals follow U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. You can be confident your children are getting quality school meals while saving your family time and money.

Vision

Maximizing Edmondson's opportunities for potential.

We are so excited to bring back some events we haven't been able to have in a long time like the Family Halloween Dance and Family Movie Nights!!!

PTA is involved in many events and decisions surrounding your child’s educational community. By paying the annual dues (only $6.25 per year) you become a voting member with an official voice in these decisions!

In addition to Class Dojo, we use Facebook to share messaging regarding PTA meetings, family GET Togethers, STEM Night, and all the fun learning our students have throughout the week. Follow and like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/Edmondson.Elementary

The Edmondson website has a lot of helpful information! Over the summer, the district made updates to all TSD schools' websites and we will continue to make updates and improve the site for your use. Thanks for your patience!

In order to check out your student you will need to show a valid photo ID. Students will NOT be released to anyone who does not produce an ID. The person must also be listed as a parent/guardian OR as an emergency contact in our system. Students will not be released to an unauthorized adult.

In order to volunteer at Edmondson you must register with Thompson School District. Once you register as a volunteer your registration is valid for 3 years. After that time period you must reapply.

At the beginning of the school year you will receive an email from your student's teacher inviting you to join their classroom on Class Dojo. This is a great tool to communicate with teachers and school staff. It is also a great way to stay updated on events taking place here at Edmondson.
