On October 22nd, the Board of Education approved the 2nd quarter Return to Learn, which will allow every student to attend school every day. Beginning on November 2nd, students will return to daily instruction on a modified block schedule. This change will increase the number of in-person instruction minutes and reduce the amount of remote learning. The new plan will have a more traditional feel to it that we have not experienced since the beginning of the pandemic. This updated schedule is subject to change as the district will continue to monitor COVID-19 numbers and make modifications as needed.

2020-2021 Cheerleading Information

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 2.

2020 TMS Athletics Update

With the IESA, Illinois Department of Public Health, and the Illinois Governor's Office collaborating together, many of the sports offered to students at TMS have had their season's altered. While softball and cross country are currently active this fall, many other sports have had their traditional season changed. One example is TMS girls basketball. Girls basketball season usually starts in the Fall (late August) for IESA middle schools, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the season has been shifted to the spring.

To make things a little bit more clear, we have created this one-sheet document that details when each season will begin for practices/tryouts, games, and when the season is scheduled to end.

Please contact Mr. Jeff Ochs, our TMS athletic director, or Adam Miller, principal, with any questions you may have.

Student/Parent Covid-19 Self Check

In addition to the links there are QR codes if you'd prefer to scan and a place to enter each of your students' IDs for handy reference. BCUSD Covid-19 Self-Check links.

TMS Return to School Plan

Trimpe Middle School is excited to welcome students and staff back to
school for Fall 2020. While this year will be different and perhaps
challenging at times, we are committed to providing your student with a
positive learning experience that will allow them to succeed in middle
school and beyond. Our partnership is essential as we all will work
together to ensure the best for your student. The hybrid model allows us to
reduce our population by about 50%, which increases the amount of social
distancing and reduces the number of students in passing periods.

You can read our entire Return to School Plan by clicking here.

Please contact Mr. Miller, Mrs. Gipson, or Mrs. Erzen if you have any questions.
