Tri-Point Upper Elementary/Jr. High

8th Grade Students and Parents: Good morning, The 8th grade will be taking their field trip to Indiana Beach Amusement Park on Friday, May 17. I wanted to provide you with some information about the trip. Indiana Beach is an amusement park with over 40 attractions and over 20 rides! (The Water Park WILL BE CLOSED tomorrow.) Since our initial information about the trip, we have added pick ups in Kempton and Cabery. Because of this, departure times have been adjusted accordingly. The park opens at 10:00, Indiana time, so we are leaving early enough to arrive before the park opens. Bus Times Here are the pick up times for the 8th grade trip to Indiana Beach Resort. Cullom - 6:15 a.m. - Return - 5:15 p.m. Kempton - 6:25 a.m. - Return - 5:05 p.m. Cabery - 6:35 a.m. - Return - 4:55 p.m. Piper - 7:00 a.m. - Return - 4:30 p.m. The school will provide a sack lunch for each student in attendance. Students can also pack their own lunch from home. Students may bring spending money for snacks and souvenirs. They are responsible for keeping track of their own money and all personal items such as phones, airpods, and other electronics . According to The Weather Channel App, there is a 50% chance of rain Friday afternoon with high temperatures in the mid 70s. Please dress for this possibility. A reminder that the school dress code does apply for the field trip. While at the park, there will be different meeting times established for lunch and end of the day departure. Please make sure students arrive at the meeting points on time. Students will be allowed to create their own groups for Friday. The only stipulation is that every student must be in a group. Students will not be allowed to wander off on their own. If a student is found by themselves, they will be with staff members for the remainder of the time at the park. We are encouraging students to relax and enjoy themselves at the park. Remember, though, that you are representing Tri-Point Junior High School. If there are any disciplinary issues on the trip, please be aware that there could be consequences at school next week. If you have any questions, please feel free to call, 815-686-2247, or email, schmales@tripointschools.org . Thank you, Sam Schmale

So proud of the 8th graders and their politeness and good manners as they explored some career options at the Saunemin Career Fair. They tried some hands on "work" using a torque wrench, learned how to wash hands to get rid of ALL the germs, and spoke with an attorney, healthcare workers, EMT, sheriff, bankers, and so much more!
