Tigers, every day is a great day to be at school! 🐯
Attendance matters every single day, and showing up consistently is one of the most important things your student can do for their success.
A special shoutout to our 6th graders who kicked off MSTEP today with great energy and great attendance! Keep it going, we need everyone in their seats for the rest of the week.
See you tomorrow, Thompson Tigers! Every day counts. 📚
🐯 Reminder, Thompson Tigers that every day counts!
This week our 6th graders are taking their M-STEP, so we need every student here and ready to go.
Make sure your Tiger gets a good night’s sleep, arrives when doors open at 7:00 AM for a filling breakfast, and is ready for classes at 7:36 AM.
Research shows that regular attendance in middle school builds the positive habits students need for high school and beyond!
Let’s show up strong this week! 🐾
Big shoutout to our 7th graders who have been working hard and showing up on the M-STEP. We are beyond proud of the effort and focus we’ve seen!
Testing continues Thursday and Friday, and being present makes ALL the difference.

Did You Know? Every Day Counts for Your Tiger! 🐯
Research shows that 7th grade is a tipping point where attendance rates begin to drop and chronic absenteeism starts rising. That means RIGHT NOW is one of the most important times to build strong habits!
✅ 1 missed day = missed discussions, notes, and connections
✅ 10 missed days = chronically absent
✅ 18+ missed days = significant impact on grades AND relationships
Before the pandemic, national attendance averaged 94%. That number dropped significantly, but we're working hard to get it back up, and YOUR Tiger can be part of the solution! 🧡💙
Let's finish out the school year strong by showing up every day, on time. Doors open at 7:00 am for breakfast and classes start at 7:36 am.
Every Day COUNTS. See you tomorrow Tigers! 🐯

📅 Attendance Matters! Every day counts as we head into the final stretch of the school year. PSAT and M-STEP testing will be getting underway, and the best thing your Tiger can do to be ready is to show up — on time, every day. Don't Miss Your Moment!
💧 Water Bottle Update! Starting when we return from break, water bottles with handles will no longer be permitted in the building. Please make sure your student has a new bottle ready to go before they head back!
We can't wait to see our Tigers back in the building on Tuesday, April 7th! 💙🧡
