As of now the Thompsonville School Board and administration have decided that we will stay with in person learning as long as we can. Please remember that this can change very fast and we could go to full remote. Some of the factors that could make us go remote are not having enough staff at the school, the governor mandating school closures, Bi-County recommending that schools close. So please continue to watch for updates and be patient with our district as we are still trying to make the best decisions for our students, staff, and community.
