A friendly school competition to support Breast Cancer Awareness...
the winning building will get to decide which administrator gets a Pie in the Face!
We've had a great first two months of school thanks to the hard work of everyone involved. Parents, please remember to continue your daily symptom and temperature screenings on your children to keep our students, staff and community safe!
Thank you to Sherie Trace and Brett Yates for taking the time to come speak to our seniors this week about civic engagement! They both spoke about ways to get involved in the community and how small acts of kindness can have great ripple effects! A small group of people can make a difference. A special thank you to Mrs. Price for getting this opportunity set up for our students.
We are experienced issues with our phone lines this morning. Please use email to communicate any absences, etc. with the secretaries this morning.

Congratulations to our students, staff and community on a successful first NINE weeks of school. Thanks to our custodial staff for keeping things extra clean, our teaching and support staff for their dedication to in-person and remote learners, and all other staff who work hard to transport, cook, and do everything necessary for our kids. Please continue to do what you can to follow guidelines outside of school in order to keep our doors open! #triopia
Good afternoon:
We have been having occasional traffic concerns in the front during student drop-off and pick-up before and after school, mainly with major congestion on the highway. This is unsafe. In order to try to curb these issues, please read the following guidelines.
1. When dropping off students in the morning, if you have to exit your vehicle to help a student out of a car, we ask that you park either in the diagonal drive or the parking spaces on the outside of the circle drive. You then can walk your student to the canopy area. The circle drive drop off should only be used for students who can exit the vehicle on their own.
2. In the afternoon, we have an early bus that drops off at the subdivision across the road, then comes back to pick up more students for the remainder of their route. Please be cognizant of this and do not block the entry to the circle drive for this bus. There should be a clear path for the bus to return to the canopy area.
3. When picking up after school, arrive as close to 2:30 as possible. Any earlier causes these congestion issues and that is the time car riders are usually dismissed to their cars anyway. If possible, please park in the parking spaces or the diagonal drive to save as much space as possible.
4. If there is major congestion which doesn’t allow you to pull into the circle drive and keeps you on the highway, please circle around and wait for the busses to leave or wait in the back parking lot until roughly 2:30 when there should be plenty of space in the front drive.
Thanks for your help in keeping our students, families, and all those who pass by our school safe!
Sincerely,
Adam Dean
Superintendent
Please see the attached document for opportunities for students of all ages through the Young Explorers Club.

Congratulations to the September Students of the Month:
The September Junior High Student of the Month is Olivia Curry. She is the daughter of Jamie and Jenna Curry. Olivia is involved in Choir and Poms.
Olivia was nominated by Mrs. Morrow who had this to say, “Olivia is responsible, hard working, and dependable. She's kind to everyone - teachers and peers. Whatever she is doing, it's always done with a smile and a positive attitude. Olivia is an asset to Triopia!” She was also nominated by Mrs. Burrus who said, “She's a fellow Cubs fan!! Really though, she's always had a positive attitude. She's polite in the hall and comes ready to learn in the classroom. She's great about volunteering answers and being involved. Olivia is just an overall great student to have in class.”
Olvia wants to be a teacher and wants to go to Eastern Illinois University. Her favorite class is Reading because she loves Mrs. Hayes and she loves what they learn and do in class. Her favorite TV show is “Say Yes to the Dress” and her favorite non-school related activity is playing the ukulele. One thing she does not like is the St. Louis Cardinals. Congratulations Olivia Curry!
Ava Ganz is the Underclassmen Student of the Month for September. She is the daughter of Brain and Shelly Ganz and is involved in volleyball, softball, and basketball.
Ava was nominated by Mrs. Burrus who had this to say, “Ava is such a caring and sweet person. She's willing to help other students and genuinely cares about their well-being.”
Ava wants to go to college at either Mizzou or Columbia College as they are both closer to her sister Madelynn and go into the medical field. Her favorite class is Art because a lot of her friends are in there and she loves Mrs. Wardell. Some of her favorite things are pineapple, dogs, and the movie “5 Feet Apart.” Her favorite non-school related activity is hanging out with her friends. The two things Ava does not like is Mustard and tomatoes. Congratulations Ava Ganz!
Lance Bogner is the Upperclassmen Student of the Month for September. He is the son of Sydonia and Curt Bogner and he is involved in Football, Basketball, FFA, and Student Council.
Mrs. Burrus nominated Lance and noted, “Lance decided to join the student council this year and I'm thrilled to have him on board. He is a great kid and is always willing to jump in and help.”
Lance has interest in going to college but is undecided on where. He would like to go into Ag Sales or Physical Therapy and eventually wants to own a small farm. Some of Lance’s favorite things are “a good steak,” doges, horses, and the TV show Yellowstone. His favorite thing to do non-school related is the Rodeo. He dislikes black beans burgers as they “taste like playdough.” Congratulations Lance!
Special thank you to the Arenzville and Chapin Fire Departments for their assistance with our fire drill today!
