Dear Thompson School District Stakeholders:

As you may know, the Thompson School District Board of Education has begun searching for our next Superintendent of Schools to follow Dr. Schaffer when he leaves us at the end of the current school year.

The Board has hired McPherson & Jacobson, a national school superintendent search firm, to assist us in finding the most qualified candidates available. As part of this important work, the Board has asked our search consultants to gather information and comments from stakeholders. So we would very much appreciate it if you would take just a couple of minutes to answer a few questions through an anonymous online survey. You can access the superintendent search survey by clicking this link. The survey will remain open through March 12, 2025.

Thank you for your support,
Thompson School District

Estimados interesados del Distrito Escolar de Thompson:

Como saben, la Junta de Educación de Thompson ha comenzado la búsqueda de nuestro próximo superintendente de escuelas para suceder al Dr. Schaffer cuando nos deje al final del presente año escolar.

La Junta ha contratado a McPherson & Jacobson, una firma nacional de búsqueda de superintendentes escolares, para ayudarnos a encontrar los candidatos más calificados disponibles. Como parte de este importante trabajo, la Junta ha pedido a nuestros consultores de búsqueda que recopilen información y comentarios de los interesados, por lo que agradeceríamos mucho si pudieran tomarse solo unos minutos para responder a algunas preguntas a través de una encuesta en línea anónima. Puede acceder a la encuesta de búsqueda de superintendente haciendo clic en este enlace. La encuesta permanecerá abierta hasta el 12 de marzo de 2025.

Gracias,
Thompson School District

Student Recognition (PBIS, Intervention, Student Awards, etc)

ALL students that drive to BHS are required to display a parking permit in their vehicle to park on campus. Please register your vehicle at the following link: http://bit.ly/bhspermit or use the QR code posted by the main office for your FREE parking permit (1st=free, if replacement is needed=$2.00/ea.) Once you have completed the form and it has been processed, you will be called to the office to pick up your permit. The permits are good until the student graduates and will be turned in at that time.

Why is this necessary? For the students and staff safety we need information on every vehicle here at the school. Any vehicle without a permit or who is parked in violation of other school rules or laws may receive a Parking Violation from BHS. First offense is a $20.00 fine and fines go up for second and third violations. Payment must be made to the school’s Bookkeeping Office within 14 days after receiving the violation. Continual violations or a serious violation may result in loss of parking privileges at BHS. If you have any questions, please speak with SRO Deputy, Vince Mosley or Campus Security
