School Starts AUGUST 21, 2019.

Dear Parents/Guardian,

Thomas Faculty & Staff are ready to begin another school year.  Abilene ISD’s vision for your child is to be inspired, skilled, engaged, and empowered to make a difference in the world.  Our hope is for students to reach their full potential through relevant, innovative, and rigorous learning experiences. 

Thomas will be implementing a new method of releasing which teacher your child will have this year.  We will not be posting class lists as in the past.  As you are aware, ALL students need to register each year on-line.  This takes the place of most of the paper work that has come home in the past.  In order to find out which teacher your child has, you will need to have completed your child’s registration for the 2019-20 school year in TEAMS/FRONTLINE using the following directions: 

go to www.abileneisd.org

Under QUICK LINKS on the left hand side of the Homepage – Register for 2019-2020 school year

https://www.abileneisd.org/for-parents/teams-annual-student-registration/

On Monday, August 19, starting at 5:00 pm, we will open the south door and all parents will go into the gym to verify if they have completed registration for their student(s).  If registration is complete, you will receive a yellow ticket to the LRC to find out which teacher your child has.  If you have not completed the registration process, you will receive a red ticket with register on it and take it to the cafeteria/computer lab to complete registration.  You will then receive the “yellow ticket” to the LRC to find out your child’s teacher.

There will be several staff to help you with resetting your user name/password, as well as navigate the registration pages.  This process could take from 15-30 minutes if you have not registered your student in the convenience of your home. 

We are available at Thomas to help you with this process starting August 6 – August 20 from 9:00 – 3:00.   We have computers available for your use. 

The faculty and staff at Thomas are here to help you in any way we can as we implement this new method.  The forms you complete during registration are very important and we appreciate your patience as we streamline the registration process for all Thomas families. 

Thomas Elementary received their “LIGHTHOUSE SCHOOL” status from the Leader in Me program.  We are proud of the hard work our students and faculty/staff have done to let the leaders in each one “SHINE” every day. 

Sincerely,

Cindy Hay – Principal

Welcome to Sam Thomas Elementary School, home of the Thomas Texans! Thomas was named for Mr. Sam Thomas, a long-time educator and principal in AISD.  The campus was opened in 1992 on the east side of Abilene and currently serves approximately 560 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade.  Students who attend Thomas are citizens of “Thomasville” and annually elect a mayor and city council from the 5th grade class.  Through the generous support of local Adoptors, Thomasville stores open on select Fridays so that students can purchase merchandise using points they’ve earned from reading books.

 

Thomas has a long tradition of academic success and continues to be a leader among Abilene schools.  We met the highest standard for state accountability in the STAAR test and received distinction designations in both reading and math.  In addition, we have been recognized as Abilene’s only Higher Performing School in science by the National Center for Educational Achievement.  We are classified as a Title 1 school which allows our campus to receive additional educational programs that greatly benefit our students.  Our strong faculty, staff, and amazing parents form the team that makes success possible for our students.  We are proud to be Thomas Texans!
