CONTEST ALERT!!! The 2020 JH/HS yearbook needs your help! In order to collect more photos, we will be having a weekly contest. Each week, there will be a theme.
For the week of April 6-10, it is GET MOVING!
Take photos of you doing something active. Riding bikes, playing baseball, lifting weights, doing farm chores, mowing the lawn - anything is game as long as you are moving! Post them in the comments on this post (on Facebook) or email them to Mrs. Morrow at emorrow@triopiacusd27.org.
Each student represented in the photos you send will be entered into the contest one time. To be entered a second time each week, you can send along photos you have that were taken at the school or a school function BEFORE school closure. (We have a lot of pages to fill, and we just need more photos!)
Winners will be drawn randomly and announced on each Monday. The winner will be contacted to receive a $25 gift card to a business of their choice!

Wednesday, April 1 is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day, a national day when we celebrate our paraprofessionals and highlight the contributions of paraprofessionals to our students and school. Although, we aren't able to be at school today - we'd still like to recognize our paras for all they do for our students and teachers! We are blessed with the best!

Every day in April we will share an agriculture fact - compliments of Illinois Ag in the Classroom - April's facts will be about soybeans.

Good evening:
Governor Pritzker has extended the closure of schools through April 30th. Our “Remote Learning Plan” is available for viewing on the district website and our social media feeds. Teachers will be in contact regarding continued engagement opportunities. Lunches will continue to served during this time.
Stay well,

Triopia CUSD #27 Remote Learning Plan
Good morning:
Monday, March 30th is the last of Governor Pritzker's declared "Act of God" days. After this, school's have been asked to move into "Remote Learning Days". At this point, school is scheduled to restart in person on April 8th, however, there is a good chance that the closure will be extended.
I am responsible for creating a "Remote Learning Plan" for whatever remaining days we do not meet in person. I hope to have something created early next week. Just a few pieces of information. School will not extend into the summer, as the prior "Act of God" days and these "Remote Learning Days" will count towards days of attendance. Also, the "Remote Learning Plan" will be similar in build to what we have already been doing. I will say, after meeting online with other area superintendents this morning, our plan will revolve around "less is more", so we do not overwhelm parents and students during this historical event. Until the plan is completed and shared with the staff, I will leave it at that. I plan on meeting with the building administrators and the staff via an online teleconference on Monday.
Stay tuned for more information by Wednesday, April 1st at the latest.
Stay well,
Adam Dean, Superintendent
