Building Access To Retrieve Items
Schools are continuing to follow plans and schedules that allow district families and staff members to retrieve personal items from district buildings. A master list of the school schedule is located on the district website. Please note that due to guidance from county health officials, this process needs to be carefully structured to ensure that we are completing it in a manner that best protects visitors. The schedule for visits is specifically planned. If you have questions or are in need of additional details, please reach out to your school’s leadership team. This period of time is also the designated opportunity for students to check district property back in on-site.

2020-2021 District Federal Education Improvement Plan
Each year, Thompson School District examines the needs of our schools and then allocates federal funds for future improvement efforts. This process is done through the Consolidated Federal Application, which requires school districts to provide descriptions of the activities that they will implement.
Please take a few minutes to submit your feedback on how we can continue to improve the achievement of each of our students. All comments remain anonymous. The district reviews all submissions and uses them to shape each year’s application. To submit your feedback, please click HERE.
“Summer of Music” and STEMS Summer Programs Cancelled
After extensive consideration and evaluation, Thompson School District has made the difficult decision to cancel this summer’s STEMS program and the TSD “Summer of Music” program. The decision was made due to restrictions on in-person instruction as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both programs are inherent hands-on experiences and unfortunately, a virtual option will not provide the level of quality that we demand for our students. We apologize for any inconvenience this decision will have and look forward to welcoming students to other exciting programming options next summer.
