June Superintendent's News

July 28, 2010
Welcome to the Superintendent’s News article for July 2010.
First, work is moving forward on six health/life safety projects at the Piper City school building. These projects are replacing the gymnasium floor, replacing the roof drainage system on the junior high school building, replacing the lighting and ceiling in the junior high school corridor, upgrading the electrical system, installing a new perimeter drain system, and installing a new septic system. The conclusion of the health/life safety work at the Piper City building will result in a safe and pleasant school setting for the students and staff members at the upper elementary/junior high school. Each of these projects will be finished or near completion by August 19th, the first day of school. Any remaining work will not delay the beginning of the school year. School will start on Thursday, August 19th as previously scheduled.
Second, we say good bye and thank you to Joan Kane. Joan retired from her position as a first grade teacher with the school district at the end of this past school year. Joan taught for 37 years, 36 with Tri-Point. Joan was a positive influence in the lives of many students. I wish her the best in the next chapter of her life.
Third, here are the dates and times for school registration:
Wednesday, August 4th - School registration at the Upper Elementary/Junior High School in Piper City from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The west entrance to the school will be inaccessible due to the health/life safety work. Please enter the building through the north doors of the section of the school where the office, the pre-kindergarten classroom, kindergarten classroom, and the computer lab are located. Registration will be held in the computer lab.
