Dear Thompson Families,
I wanted to share with you the work that was done with the Leadership Team this summer around Schoolwide Expectations. Most of what is included in our expectations have been practices that that we have been referring to for the past couple of years, and they are quantified here and posted throughout the school. We have identified them and then given some examples of what this “looks like” at school. I encourage you to talk with your children about these, and how they are upholding them at school, and even how they could transfer to home in some cases!
