We had a few visitors (trained therapy dogs) today at the Jr/Sr High School. These pictures were taken in Mrs. Whelan's 7th grade science class.
November 15th is recognized as School Board Members Day in Illinois. It is important to remember the time and commitment taken by these volunteers to lead Triopia. While 2020 has certainly created new challenges for the education community and everyday life, it has also shown the importance of having a quality leadership team that is able to adapt to current conditions while still meeting the local community’s public education needs and students’ goals.
We are thankful for our board members Jim Beck, David Bunfill, Keith Fricke, Cindy Littleton, Ben McCoy, Tracie Sayre, and Tabatha Stambaugh. #ThankABoardMember
Family Reading Night is an annual statewide event held the third Thursday in November to encourage families to spend quality time reading together. This event is sponsored by Illinois Secretary of State and State Librarian, Jesse White, and the Illinois Center for the Book. Triopia Grade School usually participates annually, however, with the current restrictions we were forced to "think outside the box".
This year, we will be posting videos of faculty and staff reading a book or two each evening to our social media pages and website. We encourage you to sit down and "listen" as a family and follow up with a discussion about the book.
The videos will begin on Monday, November 16 and be posted each evening through Friday, November 20. We hope you enjoy!
Today was the 50th day of PreK this year, so they celebrated by having a 50's day! #triopia

Early Dismissal - Wednesday, November 11
COVID-19 Update 11.5.20
The October Junior High Student of the Month is Kaylee Beck. She is the daughter of Jason and Alicia Beck. Kaylee is involved with Poms here at Triopia.
Kaylee was nominated by Mrs. Burrus who had this to say, “Kaylee works hard during class. She participates well and is a joy to have around.”
Kaylee wants to be a nurse or biologist and start her postsecondary schooling at Lincoln Land Community College. Kaylee’s favorite class is science with Mrs. Whelan because she likes learning about genes in animals and the human body. Kaylee enjoys riding horses and showing livestock in her free time. Her favorite holiday is the Fourth of July and her favorite animal is the stingray. Kaylee has a few things she does not like as well. She does not like the weekly social studies quizzes and scary movies. Congratulations Kaylee Beck!
