Just a reminder when attending athletic events at Triopia - we are doing our best to create a fun and positive environment for our student athletes, whether on the field or on the court! Please keep your younger children in close proximity to you when at events. Students should NOT be on the playground, football equipment, on the baseball/softball fields or running through the hallways. We hope to have them on the sidelines and in the bleacher cheering for the Trojans! Let's create some TROJAN spirit all year long!

**There is a lot of construction going on with the playground and on the baseball/softball fields and we want everyone to stay safe! Thank you for your cooperation!

This week the renovation of the high school baseball and softball fields began. Thanks to a major donation from the Triopia Athletic Boosters, next spring there will be new, higher backstop netting for both the baseball field and softball field. We hope this will lead to safer viewing and less foul ball interruptions on the fields. There will also be significant concrete added around each field for safer walking, seating and aesthetics. We are thankful for all of those who contribute to our athletic boosters and to the volunteers who helped remove the old backstops! We will continue to provide updates as they come! #triopia
