School Improvement Plan

Thomas is a school where students experience high engagement in an inclusive teaching and learning environment where all students, staff, and the community see our school culture through a 4-Pillar lens. This lens is where students see themselves as lifelong collaborative learners who demonstrate character and leadership. As a staff and student body, we are working on defining our values, taking ownership of individual and school achievement, demonstrating our best selves and best work, engaging in academic behaviors, and celebrating our Thomas stakeholders.

Our School Improvement Plan has three areas of focus: academic achievement, family engagement, and social-emotional learning. We believe students experience academic growth and achievement when staff and families are positively engaged in our school community and when supports are in place for all students to be safe, respectful, responsible, and compassionate so that they come to school ready to learn.
