The Board of Education believes that an effective organization provides a framework through which the district’s mission can be achieved. Through Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), the Thompson School District Strategic Plan and the Thompson School District Portrait of a Graduate will be utilized to measure progress toward accomplishing the district’s mission.

TSD Strategic Plan Focus Areas

• Academic Achievement
  • Thompson School District is dedicated to preparing each and every student for life beyond the walls of our schools. TSD staff focus on educating “the whole child”, helping to ensure that students are able to demonstrate their learning in meaningful ways and move forward in life as healthy and strong individuals.
• Inclusive and Supportive Culture
  • Thompson School District believes in school and administrative campuses that foster a welcoming environment, a feeling of hope, a sense of belonging and a safe environment where students, families, staff and community members will feel supported and comfortable in their growth.
• Human Talent
  • Thompson School District will invest in teachers, leaders and support staff to ensure we create the most impactful learning conditions that enable students to reach their full potential. TSD will be a “destination of choice” for individuals who are seeking a rewarding profession that empowers and inspires them to become difference-makers.
• Stewardship of Resources
  • As a public taxpayer-funded organization, Thompson School District will continue to be an accountable entity that is fiscally responsible, efficient in its use of resources and transparent in its continued partnership with the community.
