Thunder Traits
At Thompson’s Station Elementary, we are developing the whole child which includes focusing on teaching and developing strong character traits. We are constantly striving to “be.” There are four areas that each student works to “be” each day. They include:
- Be Respectful
- Be Responsible
- Be Your Best
- Be Nice
-
PBIS Program
Students receive Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports points from faculty and staff when they are displaying the above characteristics and showing excellent Thunder Pride. Students exchange these points in order to purchase items from the Thunder store as well as fun experiences at our quarterly Thunder Bash.
-
Counseling Services
Small groups are organized to help students meet certain challenges they may be facing. These groups give student’s an opportunity to share and acquire specific skills in a confidential setting. Individual counseling is offered to students as needed. Students can be referred by parents, teachers, or through self-referrals.
-
Classroom Guidance
The school counselor facilitates guidance with each class every other week. Classroom guidance topics are based on character development and ethical principles meant to help meet students where they are and provide them with tools to be successful and healthy members of the school community.
-
Stop and Think
A Fairview Elementary school counselor is encouraging her students to stop and think, and the district is encouraging others to embrace the concept as well.
