Lights on at Triopia 💙 #weareinthistogether #triopia #classof2020
Good afternoon:
Governor Pritzker has now extended the closure of Triopia and all other Illinois schools for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. Remote learning and lunches will continue through May. I will await guidance on other events such as prom and high school graduation before making decisions. I realize how important these events are to seniors and their families. Any students in need of supports are encouraged to reach out to Triopia personnel. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming week.
Stay well,
Adam Dean, Superintendent

Class of 2023,
We will continue with the Bucket for Benefits Fundraiser. When you have all of your orders and money collected, you may drop the order forms and money off at designated drop off points. Following social distancing and safety precautions, there will be a small table with a tote or bin to place order forms and money into at designated drop off points. Designated drop off points and times are as follows:
Triopia JH/SH School April 20 – 22 9am – 2pm
Chapin FS April 22nd 5pm – 6pm
Arenzville Pavilion April 23rd 5pm – 6pm
Tabatha Stambaugh or Melanie Workman will be at the Chapin FS and Arenzville Pavillion to collect the
order forms and money.
We appreciate all your orders and hope this turns out to be a successful fundraiser for the class during
this unprecedented time we are having. Remember, this fundraiser goes to your class and helps pay for
prom and senior trip. The more money you earn, the more you can do. All orders must be turned in by April 23rd. If you have any questions regarding drop off places or times, you may contact Tabatha Stambaugh at or Melanie Workman.
