As we teach math, science, reading, writing and more, we seek to build students who are reflective thinkers, problem solvers, and risk takers.

Welcome to Thomson
Elementary School
What a joy to begin my 9th year leading such an amazing school! As we launch the 2019-2020 school year, there is a renewed excitement around supporting the needs of the whole child through academics and social emotional learning. As a school community, we honor and recognize that our families are integral in helping us to reach our goals--we know that we can't do this important work alone. Our school entrance now boasts the famous quote from Maya Angelou: "In diversity, there is beauty and there is strength." With your help this year, we will bring this statement to life for our students
