September 11th - Red, White and Blue Day
September 11th - PTO Meeting 6pm at Tri-C


Students who qualify for PBIS Quarter Days can bring a quarter each week to purchase a special treat — 🍭 candy, 🍧 popsicle, 🍿 popcorn, or another fun surprise!
💡 This is not required but serves as a great way for students to set and achieve a short-term goal each week while enjoying a little reward for their positive choices.
We’re excited to celebrate our Lions for showing ROAR expectations and making Tri-C a great place to learn and grow!

TRI-C REMINDER - When dropping off children in the mornings using the student Drop-Off Lane (marked with orange paw prints in front of the school):
The entire lane is used to drop off students, so pull all the way forward, especially when other vehicles are behind you in line.
Adults should remain in vehicles and students should exit from passenger side of vehicle onto the sidewalk.
Please remind students to walk on the inside of the sidewalk and not to run beside vehicles.
If you do not feel comfortable pulling all the way forward, or if you need to exit the vehicle to help your child, please use the Visitor Parking Lot and walk your child across the crosswalk up to the school; students should not walk across crosswalks without an escort.
Thank you for helping us to keep traffic flowing and our students safe!


This week, all Tri-C students learned (or refreshed) our PBIS ROAR expectations to help set the tone for a successful year! 📚✨
Mrs. Rabideau and Ms. Mayo visited every classroom to welcome students back and teach important building-wide routines — including the Lion Look, the Lion Line, and several other expectations that help us stay Respectful, Organized, Always Safe, and Responsible. 🦁
We’re proud of how quickly our Lions are showing their ROAR and can’t wait to see them continue to shine all year long!
