THOMPSON SCHOOL DISTRICT ONLINE OPTIONS FOR 2021-2022
Families in the Thompson School District can choose an online learning option for their children next year. Please note that although our online options will offer flexibility, we have similar expectations as other TSD schools around attendance, academic progress, behavior, and activities per Colorado Department of Education requirements for online programs in operation due to COVID-19.
In order to provide qualified teachers and ample planning time for our K-12 Online Options, we ask that you register by April 23. **Families who choose our online option(s) must remain online for the full semester.**
