Its time for our community to start planning for the Adopt a Family program for the holidays.

Christmas Adopt-A-Family Program is a community effort to make everyone’s Christmas a special time. If you, or anyone you know, could benefit from additional assistance this year, we would like to provide your name along with ages, sizes, and any special needs of your family to the program. We cannot guarantee assistance or the purchase of certain items, but this does allow us to better match families’ needs with what agencies have to offer.

Permission from a parent or guardian is required before the name of any student or family is released for assistance. Please submit only one (1) form per family including all children, birth through high school only that are living full-time in the home and attend school in the Bethalto school district.

We are hoping this Christmas season is especially joyful for you and your family.

Please complete this the form and return to Missy Marshall at TMS by November 12, 2021.

Welcome Back to School Newsletter

The entire staff at Trimpe Middle School is excited to welcome back all students to in-person instruction for the 2021-22 school year. While we know that this year will continue to have some challenges and difficulties, we are hopeful that we can return to a more traditional school year while also incorporating best practices to keep our students safe and building on lessons we all learned during the previous school year. Working together is essential as our school and parents must work together to ensure the best for your student and we are committed to providing your student with a positive learning experience that will allow them to learn and grow during middle school.

MENTAL HEALTH HOTLINE

Call4Calm is a support text line in Illinois for residents that are experiencing stress and mental health issues related to Covid-19. Individuals who would like to speak with a mental health professional can text "TALK" to 5-5-2-0-2-0, or for Spanish, "HABLAR" to the same number.

Call4Calm is FREE to use and individuals will remain anonymous. Once a resident sends a text to the hotline, within 24 hours, they will receive a call from a counselor employee by a local community health center to provide support.

Individuals can also text key words such as "unemployment" or "food" or "shelter" to the same number (5-5-2-0-2-0) and will receive information on how to navigate and access supports and services.
