Good morning,
On Thursday, October 9, Tri-Point Upper Elementary & Junior High students will be traveling to Cullom for the Homecoming Parade. We will be boarding school buses at approximately 12:00 to go to the parade.
The parade is scheduled to begin at 12:30. At the conclusion of the parade, we will be taking the students to Tri-Point High School for dismissal. Parents/guardians may pick up their student(s) at the parade. If you are interested in taking your child, please sign them out with their grade level/homeroom teacher. Students may leave with grandparents or other contacts listed in TeacherEase. They may NOT leave with other siblings or friends. If someone other than a parent will be picking your child up from the parade, please make sure to send a note with your child to school by Wednesday or send a Dojo message to your child’s grade level/homeroom teacher.
***Students MUST be signed out.***
NO PM PREK
All other students will be going to Tri-Point High School for afternoon dismissal. By doing this, students will be on a bus for a shorter time period. Here are the estimated arrival times for buses.
Cullom in Town: 1:40 pick up time from the high school
Piper and Kempton in Town: 2:00 arrival at the schools for pick up (Estimated)
Piper, Kempton, and Cullom Rural Route: Students should arrive home between 2:15 - 3:00 (Estimated)
I also want to remind all families that there will be no school on Friday, October 10, and Monday, October 13, 2025.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Upper Elementary/Junior High office at 815-686-2247.

Dear Parents & Guardians, 9/11/25
Tri-Point Upper Elementary and Junior High will be screening students for social-emotional and behavioral concerns September 29th – October 10th. This will be a comprehensive, preventative approach to identifying and addressing students’ needs early. (before possible concerns become severe). All students are invited to participate in the screening. For elementary students, teachers will complete a screener about each student. Junior high and high school students will complete the screener independently. The school social worker will use the information provided to identify students who may benefit from additional support services.
The screening will indicate signs of stress, sadness, worry, anger, loneliness, irritability, motivation, and attention difficulties. If your student presents an elevated score, the school social worker may meet with them to gather more information to determine if school-based supports would be beneficial. This may include, participating in a skill building group or individual counseling. Parents will be contacted regarding any services that are recommended and asked for your written permission before your student actually begins receiving any services.
*If you have questions, please contact the school office at (815)-686-2247.
If you DO NOT consent for your student to participate in this screening, please sign and return to the school by SEPTEMBER 22, 2025. If an opt out form is not completed and returned students will participate in the screening.
Regards,
Sam Schmale
