All Triopia JH/HS students and parents: Our school closure has put a halt on yearbook production and, more importantly, coverage. Since the yearbook is designed to include the history of the school year, the yearbook staff is planning to have a section focused on this time. We need photos of Triopia students and how they are spending their time during the school closure. Are they working on things teachers assigned, doing chores, playing video games, getting extra hours at work, babysitting their younger siblings, staying fit for spring sports, or something else? Triopia faculty and staff can also join in! Please email photos to emorrow@triopiacusd27.org with a brief description of who took the photo and what is happening. Cell phone photos welcome, but please, no filters! You will also receive photo credit in the yearbook.
THANK YOU from the Triopia Yearbook Staff
Please share to get the word out!
Thank you for everyone’s efforts to come to the school today for their packets and learning materials. The vast majority were able to make it! Our staff spent a lot of time preparing these materials for you. Please use the work shared in the packets or online to stay engaged during this time away. #triopia
