The Thompson School District has created a short survey for you to share your input about our school and our district. We truly value your opinion and are asking for your help by taking the Thompson Climate and Culture Survey.. Please complete one survey for each school that your family attends. Each should take no more than 10-15 minutes; the survey will only be available for a few weeks, so your prompt response is appreciated.

Make your voice heard by completing the survey today!

Thank you!

Homework club has started! It will be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4:05-5:05 in the Library Media Center. This will be an optional time where students can come, check their IC (or come ready with an assignment), and have time to get work done. There will not be any bus transportation, so students and parents will need to make arrangements for pickup!

Upcoming Dates:

We always value our parent feedback- Happy November

New November Feedback

In today’s digital age, our lives are intertwined with technology. To fulfill our duty of providing the best technological support for students, TSD is introducing a tiered approach to student communication tools.

Digital security is central to our work in I.T.S., and our network security team has collaborated with Homeland Security to conduct an IT audit as well as a TSD Google Domain audit. In light of these audits and recent phishing scams, we are implementing the following changes for students' Google accounts. We believe this scaffolded approach will help students learn how to effectively communicate and use powerful digital tools like Email and Chat.

6th – 8th Grade

Middle school students will only be able to send and receive emails within the TSD Google domain, as well as receive notifications from district platforms (Infinite Campus, Destiny, and Google services). Chat functionality will be disabled for this group. Teachers and students can focus on mastering the art of email communication within the @tsd.org domain. This change helps reduce phishing risks while giving students the opportunity to collaborate and communicate with their teachers and classmates.

No Place for Hate club is officially kicked off and started for the year! Students are currently working on what the pledge promises for the school might be for this year. An example from last year was ,"I will respect and appreciate those different from me." We will then make a banner and invite the entire school and community to sign the pledge promises. Those interested in joining for this important work and helping make our school more inclusive to all should speak with Ms. Cook or Ms. Palms.
