At Ruth Thompson Middle School we believe in strong foundations. Our agenda program which is to be used by every student in every class every day is a key communication tool between school and home, while being important for keeping track of important assignment due dates and housing a record of achievement. By sharing a common language, we can all set high expectations. Our cornerstone reference is Sean Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teenagers, with these seven habits listed in student agendas and posted on every classroom wall. Monthly Thompson Time lessons are built around these seven ideas.
Churchill Meadows is located on Mississauga's western boundary, adjacent to Milton, with very close access to Highways 403 and 407. It is one of Mississauga's newer neighbourhoods, with development beginning in the late 1990s and still ongoing. Housing is mostly single-detached homes, as well as many condo townhomes. A commercial, services, and sports facility area lies in the south part of Churchill Meadows, on the other side of Highway 403.
