Art Room News From Mrs. Billue
Art Room News
One of the things we are focusing on in the Art Room is practicing and learning from our mistakes. I have created a Donors Choose project to buy dry erase boards and markers for the art room so students can practice without using a lot of paper! Please consider giving to the cause! Visit Donors Choose to donate!

Also, thank you to all the families who have already donated to Donors Choose or have given art materials such as drawing books, yarn and craft materials to the art program! I appreciate your generosity!

*School Procedures & Reminders
*Please be sure your student knows if they need to purchase breakfast. If your child is a car rider that needs breakfast, please try to be in the car line at 8:40am.
*Please be sure to label any personal items and supplies...this includes backpacks, lunchboxes, jackets, etc.
*Absences During the School Year
Students should be fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medication (i.e. Tylenol) for 24 hours before returning to school. If your child has an illness associated with vomiting and/or diarrhea, they should not return to school until 24 hours after the last episode. This helps prevent further spread of viruses and bacteria, and to promote a healthier environment for all. Our goal at Thompson Crossing is to keep kids healthy and in school. It is important for all students to adhere to our illness guidelines in order to reach this goal.
Attendance is extremely important. If your child is not in our classrooms, they cannot learn and be exposed to the same content as their teacher presents. However, everyone becomes ill at various times and we understand! If your child is going to be absent, please call our attendance line at( 317) 860-4678 by 9:15 AM. Our data clerk will check the line daily by 9:30 AM to record absences. Follow the steps below:
1. Date of phone call
2. Name of parents/ guardians
3. Name of student
4. Reason for absence
5. Number of days for the absence
If you need to leave a personal message for your child’s teacher and/or request homework, please call the teacher’s voice mail number.
*Student Drop-off/Pick-up
For the safety of our students, it is important that all persons picking up or dropping off students use the proper procedures. Students may not be dropped off before 8:40 a.m. With security procedures, the front door will not be unlocked until 8:40 a.m. and students should not be allowed out of an automobile until that time. We also understand that the drop off line gets long in the morning, but please be patient and take the time necessary to make it safe for all our students, parents, and staff. When dropping off students before and after school, please use the main entrance area only. Make sure that you follow the drive through and drop off lanes. Also, make sure that students get out on the curb or left-side of the car. There is no passing in the drop off lane. Your patience is always appreciated!
*Appointments/Early Dismissals
On the day of your student's appointment, it is very important that you have your student bring a note to their teacher or the office before school begins for the day. The note should state time and reason they are leaving. **Prior notification completely eliminates a classroom disruption and helps to assure that your student will be waiting in the office and ready to go when you come to sign them out. We understand that last minute things come up, but we do ask that you keep walk-up requests or last minute phone calls to a minimum. If you need to pick up your student and didn’t send in a note, please call our attendance line and leave a message with the student's name, and time of pick up. When picking up your child for appointments, please go directly to the Main Office to sign them out. When a student returns from a mid-day appointment, the parent should sign the student back in at the Main Office and turn in his/her doctor's note if they have one.
