PACE:
Santa's Workshop is almost here! We need help getting gifts into bags, so if you want to volunteer on Wednesday for Kempton or Thursday for Piper, please let us know! The hours will be from 8:30-2:30 each day. There is very little wrapping involved; it's mostly a stapling activity. You can message us, or call Sara at 815-674-6764. Thank you!
For those who are new to Santa's workshop, we have vendors set up in the gym at Kempton on Wednesday and Piper on Thursday. The students come during the day and pick out gifts for their families and then they bring them to the wrapping table. We get them in bags with labels on them, or wrapped if need be, so they can take them home for their family.

As we approach winter months, all must be prepared for the possibility of inclement weather. With that, Tri-Point will make decisions on school closures with student and staff safety in mind. If and when that may occur, we will utilize our district website, the Tri-Point App, Facebook, phone calls, and email as direct lines of communication. Unless otherwise notified, emergency closings will become e-learning days for the students. Specific, grade-level details on e-learning procedures will be made available through your student(s) respective buildings. Thank you.
JH BASKETBALL AND CHEER PICS :
Picture day for JH girls basketball, boys basketball and cheerleading will be on November 7th.
