Dear Students, Parents, Staff, and Community Members:
Triopia CUSD #27 and Omni Energy Partners have recently come to an agreement on of construction of a 1,200 square foot grade school secured entrance and office addition. This project has been in the planning stages for years and we are proud to say it is finally coming to fruition!
The current office and meeting spaces within the grade school are inadequate in size. Our grade school secretary and principal offices are essentially closets. Meeting spaces for important conferences such as IEP meetings have to be held in classrooms, the teacher’s lounge, or other inconvenient locations. This office addition will provide adequate space for our grade school secretary, grade school principal, and important meetings.
After working with a security expert in 2018 and listening to his suggestions, we realized that our grade school office locations are not ideal. We prioritize safety and improving our security is a key aspect of keeping our students protected. By moving a secure entrance to the front of the building, this funnels visitors into an office prior to having access to the building.
Long story short, we are very excited for this essential project and I hope you are too!
The groundbreaking for this project will be August 31st at 10:00 AM with a start date in early September. While final completion date is not yet set in stone, we are hoping for a winter completion and are hoping to have the office ready for usage in the spring. We will continue to share updates as we have them. Any questions can be asked by emailing me at adean@triopiacusd27.org or calling my direct line at 217-457-2283 x 1025.
We may also have other exciting construction projects to share soon! With the start of school around the corner and the beginning of this project, it is an exciting time for Triopia!
Sincerely,
Adam Dean
Superintendent
Golf practice is canceled for today!
Today we had our activity bus delivered. This fourteen passenger bus will be especially helpful for smaller group student activities and field trips (for example, FFA events and Scholastic Bowl meets). We will also use this bus for several other situations that come up throughout the year. Best of all, it looks sharp in our school colors! Be on the lookout for this new bus on our roads this school year! #triopia
This is a reminder that all students participating in a junior high or high school sport must have the following paperwork turned in prior to participating in practice and games:
1. A current sports physical (these are good for 13 months)
2. Signed Athletic Code
3. Signed Concussion Paper
Athletic fees should be paid prior to the first contest/game. If you have any questions, please call the JH/HS Office at 217-457-2281.
Happy Birthday, Mrs. Kathy Smith!
Happy Birthday, Mrs. Bunfill!
Happy Birthday, Mrs. Tracy!
Happy Birthday, Mrs. Megan Smith!

There will be a meeting for 6th-8th grade girls who are interested in playing JH Softball at 6pm on Thursday July 20th in Meredosia.
Mark your calendars for our annual Athletic Registration...this is for Triopia students only.
Attention JH baseball players:
This summer through the Illinois matching grant system for schools, Triopia worked with contractors to complete necessary improvements around the outside of the building. Through this grant, the district was able to clean up some curbing at the entry of the front parking lot, the parking area off of this entry, and part of the front bus drop off area. We were also able to add and replace sidewalk to make the gymnasium more easily accessible from the parking area. Special thanks to the district's architect David Leonatti for his assistance, to K. E. Vas for their concrete work, and to Doug Colvin from Neff-Colvin for serving as the general contractor. In the attached pictures, you can get a general look at what was done. Stay tuned for more updates on building improvements made this summer. #triopia
Mark your calendars... it's a month away!
Stop and Drop Night and 7th grade Orientation - Monday, August 14
Today we had a sign installed below the new football scoreboard for the Triopia Athletic Booster Club. This sign serves as a thanks not only for a sizable donation to the new scoreboard but also for all other ways in which the boosters assist our district, coaches, and student athletes. If you are looking for a way to get involved, the club is always looking for more members and volunteers! Thanks again to TAB and it's leadership for their dedication to Triopia!
A special thank you to Signature Sign Company in Jacksonville and Triopia alum Collin Andrews (along with Kole Jackson, Mike Jackson, and Ryan Arnold) for giving our signage in the front of the building a much needed update! We are proud to see our graduates doing so well and are thankful to give them our support!
Stay tuned for more summer updates to our buildings and grounds! #triopia
