"Return to Learn" Update 8.4.20 (The following letter was also read on the recent "all call")
Attention Senior Athletes:
Good evening:
This afternoon we were given some good news. The IESA reversed their decision on junior high sports in the fall. This was due to the change in guidance from the state. Therefore, softball at Meredosia and baseball at Virginia will now take place for our junior high students.
We are still working out the details, but we are allowed to begin practice as soon as Monday. As soon as we have more information we will let you know.
Have a nice weekend.
Sincerely,
Adam Dean
Superintendent
Today we received this letter from the Office of the Governor. As always, we are proud of our students, their families, and the staff that lead them and feel the need to share recognition when it is given. Thank you to the athletes, coaches, and all others who were involved!
Attention Class of 2021:
Good Afternoon:
Today the IHSA released their "Return to Activities 1.0" plan for Illinois high school sports. The document is below. In order to attempt to have all sports for our student athletes this year, they have adjusted the calendar. In regards to sports that Triopia high school athletes can participate in:
Golf (at Virginia) is from August 10-October 24
Basketball, Dance, and Cheerleading are from November 16-February 13th
Football and Volleyball are from February 15th-May 1st
Baseball, Softball, and Track and Field (at Virginia) are from May 3-June 26
Other details about the number of contests, etc. can be found on the attached document.
At this point, the IESA has cancelled junior high baseball and softball. If this changes, you will be updated.
Outdoor summer workouts with social distancing can continue at this point until further guidance is given.
As always, if you have any questions reach out to my office.
Sincerely,
Adam Dean

Return to School 2020-2021 Update
We want your Feedback - Planning for the 2020-2021 School year!
We are very excited to open our doors back up to our students and staff on August 17th. As you all know the guidelines have been set by the state in order for us to get back to in-person learning this fall. We ask that you please take a few minutes to take this survey as your input is highly valued and will help us in the next few weeks to iron out a plan that bests suits our district.
The mandates from the state are as follows:
*Require use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including face coverings;
*Prohibit more than 50 individuals from gathering in one space;
*Require social distancing be observed, as much as possible;
*Require that schools conduct symptom screenings and temperature checks or require that individuals self-certify that they are free of symptoms before entering school buildings; and
*Require an increase in school wide cleaning and disinfection.
We fully expect plans to evolve over time, but your responses will help guide our planning to safely reopen schools this fall. The deadline to complete this survey is July 6th.
Please click on the link to submit your feedback:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1M-B1Bp3LpFzgGF75Skj8IH7f1wASZIZiPtLfGmYD3mE/edit?usp=sharing

The 2020 Triopia Alumni Banquet has been canceled for the year. The next banquet will be held in June 2021 and recognize both the 2020 and 2021 anniversary classes at that time. The Alumni newsletter will soon be sent to all alumni. The Board looks forward to seeing everyone in 2021.

Triopia Little League is going to postpone baseball and softball for one week. It is our plan to start the week of June 15th. This gives us more time to contact parents and get the fields in playing condition and ensure we have guidelines put in place to ensure everyone enjoys their time playing and staying healthy. Thank you!
Good evening:
Earlier this week, the state of Illinois began to relax some guidelines on in-person learning. For instance, now we can begin Behind-the-Wheel driving (with stipulations) instruction again. Mr. Thompson will begin reaching out soon to the students who need to get their driving hours in so they can obtain their license.
Also, today the IHSA released their “Stage One of Return to Play” guidelines. These are the promising first steps towards possible athletics this next school year. These guidelines are IDPH approved. I will post the link to these guidelines below.
On Monday afternoon, the IHSA is holding a webinar about these guidelines. After possible questions are answered and we feel comfortable moving forward, I will look to have approval from the Morgan County Health Department, our district attorney and our liability insurance carrier. After that, we hope to have a special board meeting in the middle of next week to formally approve this plan.
In short, student athletes will hopefully begin to work with coaches in groups of ten for conditioning and weight lifting purposes soon. Guidelines in the document will be followed. After board approval, coaches can begin reaching out to make plans with student athletes.
If all of this goes to plan, I will update you all again next week. While there is no guarantee, I have a good feeling all will be approved and we will be allowed to do this.
It will be nice to get some of our students back at the school. Hopefully we are taking these first small steps back towards some normalcy for our fall semester.
As always, if you have questions give me a call at 217-457-2281 x 1025 or email me at adean@triopiacusd27.org.
Stay well,
Adam Dean, Superintendent

Good afternoon:
As you all know, remote learning and lunches will continue through the rest of the year. The end date of school is May 21st. After this, remote learning and lunches will end. We will continue with the same routines we have had for the past few weeks.
Many questions have been brought up since the closure extended through the end of the year. This includes questions about events, like high school graduation, as well as cleaning out student lockers.
Our plan, for now, is to wait and see if the "stay at home" order extends past April 30th. If it does, we will begin looking at alternative arrangements for high school graduation. Other events are currently "up in the air" depending on the recommendations of the governor and the Illinois State Board of Education.
As another reminder, as all schools have been closed per the governor's order, this includes the playground and basketball courts. No one should be on school property without prior permission from an administrator.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility during this unprecedented time in our history. Feel free, as always, to reach out to any administrator if you have specific questions.
Thanks,
Adam Dean, Superintendent

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

At this time, Triopia Schools will be closed through April 7 and return to school on April 8. We know that during this closure, many parents are without work. Triopia Schools would like to continue to offer a lunch option to help lessen this burden. This is a FREE service open to ALL students, regardless of income.
Starting now there will be only TWO deliveries each week - Monday (you'll receive 2 lunches/child for Monday and Tuesday) and Wednesday (you'll receive 3 lunches/child for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday). Again this is available to any child in your household under the age of 18.
A survey was sent via email and text to all parents listed in our system this morning. This survey only needs to be completed if you would like to receive lunches and currently do not. If you have received lunches this past week, we already have you on the list. If you need taken off the list at anytime, please contact Mrs. Hobrock.
Please complete the survey and submit by 5:00 PM this evening (Sunday, March 22) so proper preparations can be made for the upcoming weeks.
Again, please reach out to one of the administrators with any questions:

Good Afternoon:
I recently participated in a webinar with the Illinois State Board of Education with some new guidance. According to their presentation, work completed during the closure should not "negatively impact a student's grades or academic standing". Therefore, I have told teachers that work completed can be used to boost a student's grade if they so choose. I have told them to use their judgement on how they do this since grading practices can vary from subject to subject and from teacher to teacher. For specific questions, students should reach out to their teachers. Since this is recent news, give teachers a chance to come up with a plan if they so choose. I would argue this is good, because it should further motivate our students to complete their packets or online work.
Thank you,
Adam Dean, Superintendent
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

World Read Aloud Day is TODAY, February 5, 2020! The worldwide event from Scholastic and the global literacy nonprofit LitWorld calls attention to reading aloud and sharing stories. Now in its 11th year and celebrated in over 173 countries, World Read Aloud Day is a wonderful reminder of the power and importance of this best practice.
An abundance of research points to how reading aloud is both beneficial and beloved. Widely-known guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parent-child home reading beginning from birth. A landmark report also uncovered that reading aloud to children is the single most important activity for building their knowledge for eventual success in reading. Furthermore, the Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report™: 7th Edition shows that more than 80% of both kids and parents love or like read-aloud time because they consider it a special time together.

We have had reports of head lice at Triopia Grade School. Head lice can be common in school settings due to close contact of children. If you child does get lice, please call the school so we can check the entire class.
After a report last night, we took more precautions today and had students that share lockers put all their belongings in trash bags so nothing is touching. Head lice is very contagious. To minimize the risk or repeated outbreaks, remind your children not to share items such as combs, brushes, scarves, hats, headphones, etc.
Head lice can also survive for about half a day without a human host and cannot live on family pets. Please see the documents on our website that explain detection, treatment and prevention in more detail. If you have further questions, please contact Mrs. Hobrock.

See the link below for a radio interview with Mr. Dean this morning that took place on WLDS regarding his monthly newsletter.
https://wlds.com/audio/triopia-superintendent-adam-dean-reminder-for-fans-12-3-am-conversation/
Congratulations to our alumni who won the championship in the “Battle of the Cass County Alumni” on Saturday, November 30th in Virginia.
Good Evening:
Yesterday I posted a newsletter discussing poor sportsmanship and the effect it can have on the need for officials and coaches statewide. The newsletter was spread throughout the internet via social media. WICS News Channel 20 asked today to do a story and an interview with me and Coach Thompson regarding this newsletter. The story that aired today and that was shared online misrepresented my statements. The title even states, “Bad Behavior from Triopia sports fans causes shortage in coaches”. My comments were aimed at all fans, not just our own. In fact, I reiterated several times during the interview today that our fans are some of the best in the state. I even stated this in the newsletter.
To clarify what was stated in the story, the IHSA does not wave fees for coaches, although the district does usually pay for the cost of someone who takes coaching classes. IHSA has waved fees for those wanting to become officials.
I apologize to our communities for the way this was all represented. I ask that all fans statewide, or even nationwide, just think before you speak at athletic contests. If you have specific questions, see the newsletter yourself and you can determine what I really meant.
Proud, as always, to be a Triopia Trojan,
Adam Dean
Superintendent

For the week of October 28, Triopia is pleased to spotlight paraprofessional Mrs. Melissa Kaffenberger. Mrs. Kaffenberger graduated from Triopia and Lincoln Christian University with a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. She enjoys working with the grade school students in math and writing, but her favorite is helping supervise during library time when Mrs. Forsman reads to the kids.
Outside of school, Mrs. Kaffenberger enjoys attending her kids’ Trojan sporting events, cleaning houses, naps, and occasionally going out to eat.
Mrs. Kaffenberger said her favorite thing about Triopia is that it is home to her and the Trojan community is family, everyone is very nice and helpful. Mrs. Kaffenberger loves to fish, but doesn’t go very often because she hates bugs flying in her face or landing on her! She loves to bake, but would rather nap and she cleans houses, but her house is always a mess!
We are glad to have Mrs. Kaffenberger at Triopia this year! #triopia

She loves that Triopia is a small school and how everyone is so kind and helpful, a bonus is that she gets to work in the same building as her own children.

For the week of October 7, Triopia is pleased to spotlight paraprofessional Mrs. Trish Halsne. Mrs. Halsne has a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Western Illinois University. She started her career at Triopia in 2000 working as a paraprofessional and continues in that role today, as well as Geography Bowl sponsor. Mrs. Halsne's favorite task here at Triopia is helping students find their strengths, especially those students who believe they have too few, and helping them learn how to use those strengths to better their time in the classroom as well as time spent outside of the classroom.
Outside of school, she loves to be with family and friends, checking out places both near and far, and hanging out with her crazy hounds! Her favorite thing about Triopia is how we come together for a cause, whether it be in individual classrooms, school-wide activity, or community/charitable project. Triopia really has the teamwork thing down! :) When asked for something random, Mrs. Halsne said "As surprising as it will sound to most who know my technological skills, I was once referred to by a few hundred children as "the computer lady" because of the large mobile computer lab I drove around Jacksonville and Springfield, introducing young children to computers. The young ones now have to teach me!"
We are glad to have Mrs. Halsne here at Triopia. #triopia

Mr. Sorrells joined Mrs. Smith's Consumer Ed class for a taste test on Tuesday morning! They tried seven different products and had to determine which was generic and which was name brand. The students are currently learning how to budget and really enjoyed this experiment!
Our custodial staff may spend the majority of their time behind the scenes, but they deserve much recognition. Our building is one of the cleanest, if not the cleanest in the area and maybe in Illinois! They are the first to arrive and the last to leave and do so much in between. Our custodial crew at Triopia is prideful, selfless, and amazing in everything that they do. Thanks Amy, Eric, Karen and Roger - each of you make Triopia CUSD 27 a better place.
We are honored to announce that our Early Childhood (Pre-k) program was one of 142 programs in the state to receive a Gold Circle of Quality recognition.
The Gold Circle of Quality recognizes programs that meet or go beyond the highest quality goals.

For the week of September 30, Triopia is pleased to spotlight paraprofessional Mrs. Angie Phelps. Mrs. Phelps graduated from Triopia then took classes at MacMurray. She returned to Triopia in 1997, where she has worked in every grade level from PK-12th grade. Mrs. Phelps' favorite task here at Triopia is really any task, she loves seeing students feel good about themselves for accomplishing goals they thought they were unable to achieve! Outside of school, she enjoys walking her black lab, Dora and her chocolate granddog, Bella and biking. She also enjoys traveling to warm beaches. Her favorite thing about Triopia is the feeling that we are a family and the relationships formed with students. Something you might not know about Mrs. Phelps, is that she is a certified open water scuba diver. We are blessed to have Mrs. Phelps on our team at Triopia! #triopia

At approximately 8:30 this morning, a main water line into the school was found to be damaged by the head of maintenance. Water coming into the building was turned off, and by 10:00, most water in the building had already been used. After speaking with our plumbers and generating a timeline, the decision was made to dismiss school early. The problem should be solved and school should be back in session on Monday, September 23rd.
When situations like this present themselves, there are many people who deserve a “thanks” for their flexibility. The cooks, with a little help, were able to serve all students (starting at 10:15) in a short time frame before they went home. We had a few bus drivers on field trips, but luckily we had sub drivers step in and drive a route home. Our regular bus drivers who could be here also had to change plans so they could be back here at 11:00. The building secretaries and director of transportation took numerous calls and got notices out to make all of this possible. All other teachers and staff deserve a lot of credit, because once the decision to dismiss early has been made, accomplishing educational goals and monitoring your students for the rest of the day can be quite difficult. Since our cafeteria is not big enough to serve all students at once, several staff members also helped clean trash out of rooms after students were dismissed.
A big thanks to parents and family members, as well, for your flexibility. Unfortunately, emergencies like this happen. We appreciate your ability to, at times, drop everything, and pick up your kids when you weren't expecting to. Have a good weekend, and we hope to see everyone back on Monday!
Due to a water main break Triopia Schools will be dismissing early today (Friday, September 20th). All bus students at 11:10; remaining GS students at 11:15 and remaining Jr/Sr High students at 11:20. Thank You
Smiles from Cardinals and Cubs fans at the grade school!
Several staff members joined in on the fun with the Cubs/Cardinals rivalry today! ⚾️
There will be a Jr. High Boys Basketball parent meeting next Tuesday, September 24th at 6:30pm in the Triopia cafeteria for any student in grades 6-8 planning on playing basketball this winter. One parent and the athlete should attend this meeting.
During the 2018-2019 school year, Isaac French started his own coffee shop at Triopia. With the assistance of his family, his aide Tara Hobrock, and his teacher at the time Karen Werries, Isaac’s shop has since flourished. At this point, Isaac and Mrs. Hobrock deliver 18-25 drinks a day, which is an increase from last year. Their goal is to deliver 100 drinks a week. Isaac’s shop has items such as coffee, iced coffee, hot tea, iced tea, hot chocolate, water and flavored water. Isaac enjoys delivering his drinks to the staff and loves to visit with all of his customers. Isaac also has his customers’ usual orders memorized! This shop has helped Isaac learn many skills that will help him once he leaves our doors. Isaac’s shop is one of the things that makes Triopia great! Thanks to Isaac for his service to our staff!
Wear your Cubs or Cardinals gear to school tomorrow... if you aren't a fan of either team, then support your own Triopia Trojans! No hats, please!
Treat people right and they will treat you right...

Attention Trojan Nation! The Board of Education has given permission to explore purchasing a 14’X8’ video board for our high school gym to be installed this fall. We believe that the video board will be a great addition to our facility and will provide an exciting atmosphere for our student athletes and fans. The athletic program will generate funds by advertisements and once the video board is paid off, the money raised will go back into athletic programs. This project is a lot up front, but will be a major source of income for athletic supplies, uniforms, and facility upgrades in the future.
At this time, we have reached out to a few businesses already and have had some luck. However, we do not want to leave anyone out that may have an interest in getting it off the ground. At this time, we are asking for a $5,000 advertisement over the course of three years which will include:
- A static sign hung by the video board for the life of the board which will be visible every minute of the day
- A scrolling advertisement during events for 3 years
- A 3’X6’ sign displayed on the football field for 3 years.
Other advertisement packages will be available shortly. With that being said, if there are any businesses, organizations or individuals interested in being a major contributor for this project please contact Rich Thompson (rthompson@triopiacusd27.org) or Josh Sorrells (jsorrells@triopiacusd27.org).
Go Trojans!
The Triopia staff has been hard at work since last April working to secure dual credit opportunities for this years juniors and seniors. The hard work has paid off, and a majority of our upperclassmen have been enrolled in classes to receive both high school and college credits. Triopia is offering a total of 9 dual credit classes which are Calculus, College Algebra, Trigonometry, US History before 1877, US History after 1877, Composition I, Composition II, Ag Mechanics, and Horticulture. These classes are taught by Mr. Doyle, Miss. Harmon, Miss. Lynn, and Ms. Sriner. 42 students are enrolled in a total of 80 classes, which will earn 354 credit hours. 288 of those credit hours are transferable to most colleges and universities nationwide. This is a tuition savings of $41,040 for our parents and students (based on LLCC tuition).
It's that time of year again! The Blue & White scrimmage is TOMORROW night (August 23rd). Please come out and meet all of our fall athletes. The Volleyball scrimmage will be at 6pm and the Football will be at 7pm.
