Students will go down to the cafeteria if they come early to school, and breakfast begins at 8am. They need to be back in the classroom by 8:25 or they are considered tardy.

Book Orders

Several times during the year I will send home book order forms with your child. You are never obligated to purchase any of the books. Should you decide to purchase from the order form you will need to complete the order form and send the correct amount together in an envelope. Please send a check made payable to the book company.

Library

The student’s will have library on Wednesdays. The student’s are allowed to check out two books.

Box Tops

Please get the Box Top app and select Tri-Co School as your donation school. You can scan all your receipts and earn Box Tops for our school. Box Tops are a wonderful way to raise money for our school.
