Welcome to the “FAQ” pages for Thompson School Distict’s 2020-2021 Back-To-School planning process. Additional questions and answers will be posted on these pages as we move forward in welcoming students back this Fall. Thank you as always for your continued support.
-
Students who take the online option, will meals be available to those students?
Yes. Lunches will be available to those students. It will be similar to the summer food program. A number of centrally located sites will be identified for those pick-up locations. Breakfast and lunch will be served.
-
Will hot lunch be available to our students this year?
Yes. There will be a hot lunch option for students.
-
We submitted a transportation application. When will we know if it's been accepted and transportation has been approved for our child?
On August 10th, our transportation team will begin contacting families who we can provide service to. Please note that this process will take time and due to the complexities of the routing, your contact date may be later. We assure you that team members will contact you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
-
For children who use the virtual option but qualify for free/reduced lunch, will there be any kind of program to help them have food stability?
Yes we will offer meals and information will be available about the distribution method when we get closer to the start of the school year.
-
Will food service be provided on school campuses?
Breakfast and lunch meals will be available for in-person and online students. Although cafeterias will be closed, items will be available to eat outside or in the classrooms.
-
Will students and staff be able to access water bottle-fillers that have already been installed in schools?
Yes. Although drinking fountains have been ordered closed by county health professionals, water bottle-fillers will remain open.
-
Will community volunteers be allowed to work on campuses?
Unfortunately, in order to help minimize the number of people on school grounds, school volunteers will not be allowed to work in district buildings or grounds during the school day.
