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.

Mission

We are committed to engaging and empowering the Edmondson community, including each child, family, staff, and community member, by providing opportunities and supporting them in maximizing their potential in school as well as outside of school.

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!

You can find our monthly schedule, lunch menus, and much more!

We now have an account with Rokkitwear where you can purchase Edmondson gear. They have a great selection of clothing items for women, men, and children. We get a kick back of the sales so every purchase you make is a WIN for Emdondson!!

Here is the link:

Larimer County Fire Departments have asked us to share this information. This emergency alert will alert those who sign up for it with emergency notifications from Larimer county. Please text NOCOALERT to 888777.

If your student is tardy or late an adult will need to escort them to the front doors and ring the bell. One of our front office staff will let the student into the building and will check them in.

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. If you are unsure of your volunteer status please contact the main office. Follow the link below to become a TSD volunteer!

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.

Please reach out to the Boys & Girls Club of Larimer County about before and after school care.
