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

We are asking all students, or their parent, to complete our Covid-19 self-certification check before arriving to school. We will send a reminder link each morning via email and text. If you'd like to bookmark the link, here it is: https://bit.ly/3aCLc48 The link is also available at the top of our webpage under "Students."

For families with students in multiple buildings in the Bethalto School District, this document may help. It has links to the certification forms for all schools - Bethalto East, Parkside, Meadowbrook, Trimpe, and Civic Memorial. 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.

Illinois Department of Public Health Message on Vaping

The Illinois Department of Public Health recently released information to all schools regarding the vaping epidemic in Illinois. The message reads, in part,

Last week, IDPH learned of the death of an individual who had recently vaped and was hospitalized with severe respiratory illness. The number of cases of people reported to IDPH who have used e-cigarettes or vaped and have been hospitalized with respiratory symptoms has doubled in the past week. As of 8/23/19, a total of 22 people in Illinois, ranging in age from 17-38 years, have experienced respiratory illness after using e-cigarettes or vaping.

E-cigarette use is epidemic in the US and Illinois.

Parents and students, please consider reading this one page document on vaping and the dangers it presents to young people.

Our partners at Chestnut Health Systems have also put together some additional resources for schools, students, and parents regarding vaping, tips on how to quit.
