Weekly Update for Nov. 4 to 8, 2024
Dear Families,
With the temperatures changing and winter weather quickly approaching, please send your child to school with clothes for the playground. District policy states that students will remain inside if the temperature (with wind chill) is lower than 15 degrees. If there is significant rain/lightning, wind or heavy snow, we may remain inside as well. Otherwise, we love being outside when possible. Once we have snow on the ground, students may place on the playground and turf areas with boots, otherwise we ask that they stay in the plowed areas to keep their feet dry. Please send your child with coats, boots, gloves and hats, all labeled with their first and last name. This helps us return any missing items to your child. If you are in need of support with winter clothing, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks for your support!
Have a nice weekend,

A Note from the Health Office
Hi families,
As the weather gets colder and we start to see more moisture and precipitation, please be aware that playground equipment may be wet, which means your child's clothing may become wet. We have a limited supply of clothing in the health office to support toileting accidents, so it would be helpful if your child had a set of dry pants and socks in their backpack just in case. Please also remember to send your students with appropriate clothing including coats, jackets, hats and snow boots as the temperatures continue to drop. We have a few spares here, but not many.
Please also remember that cough drops and throat lozenges, while helpful during cold and flu season, are not allowed to be brought to school. Any medicines, including cough drops and lozenges, must have a doctor's permission for administration and have to be kept in the health office.
Thank you for your understanding.

Elementary District Spelling Bee
If your student is interested in participating in the District Spelling Bee this year, please have them come see Maestra Brito as soon as possible to get a spelling list to begin practicing at home. All words from the District written test are taken from this list. The written test to see who qualifies for the District bee will be held in December. If you have any questions, please contact Jill Brito at jill.brito@tsd.org.

With Field Trips Starting up, Do you Want to be a Volunteer?
If volunteers and chaperones can go on a field trip, do you want to be one? If so, you need to go to the Thompson School District website and fill out a volunteer form. You must be an approved volunteer to go on the field trip. If you are not sure if you are an approved volunteer please call me and I can look you up in the system.
Here is the website you need to go to and this needs to be done at least two weeks prior to the field trip.
