Dear Thompson Community:
It is hard to believe that we will soon be wrapping up the current 2024-2025 school year. The time after Spring Break is always a fast-moving period in TSD. While students start gearing up for their end-of-year school work in the classrooms, our staff also prepares for and conducts the annual Colorado Measures of Academic Success exams (CMAS). These exams are a statewide assessment tool used to measure student progress in math, English, science, and social studies. The program is designed to provide a common measure of student achievement and to help schools and districts understand student progress toward mastering academic standards. The data is exceptionally valuable at both the school and district level. In classrooms, teachers are able to use it to gain a better understanding of how their instructional methods are benefiting students. And at the district level, administrators use the information to make informed decisions about curriculum practice and to help guide the placement of resources and support.
Next month, our schools will be fully engaged in finishing up all of their final activities as we prepare for our graduation ceremonies and other celebrations after a job well done. It will be an extraordinarily busy time and before we get too far down that path, I want to take a few moments to celebrate some of the terrific activity successes that our students have achieved the past several weeks. While the following list is not an exhaustive look into the totality of student success across the district, I think youโll agree with me that we have much to be proud of here in Thompson School District:
