Thompson School District is pleased to present a draft version of The Thompson Horizon, our new strategic plan that is steering us toward our future as the "Destination School District." Through this work, we are intentionally designing great places to learn, great places to work, and great places to succeed.

Before the Board of Education votes to adopt the plan, we want to hear from students, families, staff, and community members. Tell us what resonates, what is missing, and what you would change. To view the information and provide feedback, please visit the Thompson Horizon section on our district website.

Two-Hour Early Release TOMORROW, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, Due to Heat

Good Afternoon, Families:
The current hot weather that we are experiencing within our community has had a significant impact on our district and many of our school buildings. While approximately half of the district's schools are fully air-conditioned, the remaining buildings do not have air conditioning within their classrooms and only have limited air conditioned spaces within the buildings.

​Weather services are forecasting that we will experience significantly warm weather tomorrow. We believe that the temperature will create conditions in many of our buildings that will be quite difficult for students and staff.
​
➡️ As a result, please be aware that all Thompson School District schools will release two hours early tomorrow, Friday, August 21. To determine the release time, families should subtract two hours from the school's normal release time. Bus pick-up will be two hours sooner than the normal pick-up time. Please note that afternoon preschool classes will not be held. ⬅️

Athletic teams will continue with their current schedule and will follow the standards that are set by the Colorado High School Activities Association. Families who participate in after-school programming with the Boys and Girls Club and YMCA of Northern Colorado should reach out to their aftercare provider for information about service levels that are available.

We understand that this decision will create some significant schedule adjustments for many of our families. However, we do believe that this early release schedule will provide some much-needed relief and beneficial assistance for our students and staff.

​Thank you very much for your continued support of our district community.

Sincerely,
Thompson School District
