SNOW DAY- NO SCHOOL APRIL 18, 2013


Hello:

This is Dr. Stan Scheer, Superintendent of Schools for the Thompson School District.  I am calling you this evening to let you know that due to inclement weather, district schools and offices will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, April 18th.

A decision to close schools is always a process that myself and district staff take very seriously.  In this case, we determined that the currently forecasted winds and potential low temperatures could endanger the safety and well-being of our students in the morning.

I thank you for your continued partnership.  Have a good day.

Dr. Stan Scheer
Superintendent of Schools
Thompson School District
