This survey gives us important feedback that will be used to help us achieve the goals of our Strive 2025 Strategic Plan and ensure an Inclusive and Supportive Culture throughout Thompson School District. Please click this link to hear from our proud superintendent, Dr. Marc Schaffer, about the importance of this survey.

We value your opinions. Your feedback is important to us to improve the educational opportunities and services we provide to students, families and the community. If you could take a few minutes to complete this survey, we would greatly appreciate it. The survey is open October 24 through November 11. We hope this gives all TSD families adequate time to complete the survey.

You can click on this link to take the survey for your child's school. You can then do it again for children you have at other schools.

Important: If you have a child enrolled in a TSD charter school (Loveland Classical Schools or New Vision), you will participate in a separate climate and culture survey process in the future. If you have any questions, please reach out to the school.

Thank you for your help with this important project--Your voice matters!
