• About Us

    Thompson mission, goals and staff commitment. We are college bound!

    "We are committed, without excuses or exceptions, to the academic success of every Thompson student."

    Mission: Every member of the Thompson Elementary family believes that the academic potential of each student is unlimited. We refuse to accept the challenges that confront some students as excuses for poor learning. We know that one of the predictors of life success is educational success. Therefore, we are committed to creating a school that knows no limits to the academic success of each student. We also believe that every student can be well prepared for his or her future by being an outstanding citizen.

    Shared Commitment: The staff at Thompson pledge to:


    • Accept no limits on the potential of any child
    • Create engaging classroom learning environment
    • Hold students, families and each other to the highest standards of performance
    • Collaborate regularly with colleagues and families to seek and implement more effective strategies for helping each child achieve his or her greatest academic potential
    • Treat students, families and colleagues with courtesy and respect
    • Foster quality character traits to develop citizenship
    • Keep all students accountable to the adherence of school rules while on school grounds and during school sponsored activities
    • Do whatever it takes to ensure that every student meets or exceeds grade level academic standards


      Goal: Every student, without exception or excuse, will be proficient or advanced in academics and challenged to become respected citizens who are college bound.
