Good afternoon,
The 7th grade will be taking their annual field trip to Springfield on Friday, March 1. We have had a slight change in our plans for that morning. The Capitol Building is expecting us to arrive by 9:45 for our building tour. To make sure that we arrive on time, we have moved up the departure time to allow us to make our destination on time. The new pick up times are listed below.
Cullom - 6:50 a.m.
Kempton - 7:00 a.m.
Piper City - 7:20 a.m.
If you have any questions, please contact the school at 815-686-2247, or you can email me at schmales@tripointschools.org.
