It was so wonderful to see you at conferences! We are very excited for the next couple of weeks. We will be hosting our first annual Trunk or Treat (candy sponsored by King Roofing), Flashlight Reading, and our Halloween parade! As a reminder, students cannot wear their costumes to school. They can change into their costume right before their parade. Student costumes for both the parade and Trunk or Treat need to be school appropriate. That means that we cannot have any masks, make-up, or fake blood. Weapons or anything resembling a weapon are not permitted on campus at any time, including for Halloween costumes.

This is the time of year when school fees start to come due. We know that for many families, this can cause a financial hardship. Please consider taking time to complete the Free and Reduced Lunch form linked below. Completing this form helps determine if our school qualifies for additional funding. Title One funding is used to support small class sizes, field trips, after-school activities, and professional development for teachers. While the form says Free and Reduced lunch, people who qualify, will also have their school fees waived. https://linqconnect.com/public/meal-application/new

Hello, Thompson School District Families!

Our annual TSD Climate and Culture Survey is open. We'd love to hear from you!

This survey gives us important feedback that will be used to help us achieve the goals of our Strive 2025 Strategic Plan and ensure an Inclusive and Supportive Culture throughout Thompson School District. Please click this link to hear from our proud superintendent, Dr. Marc Schaffer, about the importance of this survey. Here is the link in Spanish.

We value your opinions. Your feedback is important to us to improve the educational opportunities and services we provide to students, families and the community. If you could take a few minutes to complete this survey, we would greatly appreciate it. The survey is open October 14 to November 15. We hope this gives all TSD families adequate time to complete the survey.

You can click on this link to take the survey for your child's school. You can then do it again for children you have at other schools.

Thank you for your help with this important project--Your voice matters!

Sincerely,

Thompson School District

Nutrition Services is excited to share that we have contracted with a new software company to manage our meal and application program. My School Bucks is no longer active, but the new software is called LINQ Connect and all student balances have been moved over. This program offers many new features that weren't available before. We're sure you're going to love it!

As a reminder, school meals are free for students this 2024-25 school year! We encourage everyone to complete a Free & Reduced application, as it provides benefits to you and the district such as grants, program funding and fee waivers.

For more information, please review these Frequently Asked Questions.

Do families still need to fill out the free and reduced meal benefits form?

YES! Families will still be asked to provide household income information on the new form for this school year. *All household income information is confidential and will not be shared without your consent.

WHY should I fill out a meal benefits form?

The HSMA program is funded in partnership with federal nutrition programs that rely on that income information to support meals for ALL students. Other state and federal grants for school are awarded based on free and reduced meal eligibility rates - this could mean more money for your school!

PLUS!

Families who qualify may receive discounted or waived school fees, sports fees, utilities support and more.

Can my student still bring lunch from home?

YES! Students are welcome to bring lunch.

You can now report your child's absence on the parent portal! See instructions below.

You can still call the school or attendance line to report absences as well!

Attendance Line: 970-613-6290

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!

The Kroger Family of Companies is committed to community engagement, positive social impact and charitable giving at the national and local levels. Every community is unique, but our common goal is to partner with the neighborhoods we serve and help the people there live healthier lives.

One of the ways in which we do this is through our King Soopers Community Rewards program. This program makes fundraising easy by donating to local organizations based on the shopping you do every day. Once you link your Card to an organization, all you have to do is shop at King Soopers and swipe your Shopper’s Card.

Here’s how it works:

1. Create a digital account.

A digital account is needed to participate in King Soopers Community Rewards. If you already have a digital account, simply link your Shopper’s Card to your account so that all transactions apply toward the organization you choose.

2. Link your Card to an organization.

Selecting the organization that you wish to support is as simple as updating the King Soopers Community Rewards selection on your digital account.

• Sign in to your digital account.
• Search for your organization under community rewards-Lincoln Elementary School
• Select the appropriate organization from the list and click “Save”.

Your selected organization will also display in the King Soopers Community Rewards section of your account. If you need to review or revisit your organization, you can always do so under your Account details.

3. Your organization earns.

Any transactions moving forward using the Shopper’s Card number associated with your digital account will be applied to the program, at no added cost to you. King Soopers donates annually to participating organizations based on your percentage of spending as it relates to the total spending associated with all participating King Soopers Community Rewards organizations.

Please reach out with any questions! Happy Shopping!
