Message From The Principal
Dear Thompson Families!
I want to express my sincere gratitude to Ms. Angela Robinson for filling in as our interim assistant principal. She upheld and continued the high standards we expect from ourselves as an administrative team. I would like to welcome back Ms. Lisa Camire as she is returning from her maternity leave. All of us at Thompson are happy she has returned and will finish out the school year working with our students.
Please feel free to reach out to Karen O'Connor, Lisa Camire, or myself with any questions or concerns.
Stay safe and be well.

Have a terrific weekend!
Stay safe and healthy!
All my best,
Principal DeFeo
2021-22 Returning Student Registration - Extended to May 14th
Registration for the 2021-2022 school year is now open in Tyler for returning students. Some components of the registration process are not functional on a mobile device at this time. To register, please use a computer. When the mobile application is working without issue we will let you know.
Return to school in August will resume full-time, five days per week. Students who qualify for an exemption from in-person attendance based upon medical need of the student or a housemate will require a medical provider to complete an exemption request form and return it to the district. The form and instructions will be distributed in April, though registration should still be completed at this time.
