Backpacks and Our School Supply List 2020-2021
This year, students may carry a backpack to and from class. We recommend a backpack that has a laptop sleeve for their Chromebook. This is a change from what our school supply list says and is one of the measures we are taking to help socially distance students.
Students will not use lockers to begin the school year so that we can help students stay further apart from one another as much as possible. Students will be allowed to bring backpacks into school and take them to each class.

IESA Reverses Decision on Fall Sports (Cross Country, Girls Softball)
Update (8/3/20): As a result of the IESA's reversed decision to now allow fall sports, including softball and cross country, TMS is working on a plan to restart fall athletics.
Cross Country will have their first practice on Monday, August 10th, starting at 4:00pm here at Trimpe Middle School. Student-athletes should bring their own water bottle and a mask Parents or athletes with questions may contact Coach Clint Walters at cwalters@bethalto.org Please remember that any student-athlete must have the proper paperwork on file in the main office before trying out or practicing. For paperwork information, please click on this link: athletic paperwork link.
Regarding softball, we are still working with other area schools on our schedule to determine if playing a season is feasible given the restrictions placed upon schools throughout the state by the IESA and Governor's Office. The specific restrictions include the geographical restriction related to playing teams from our existing conference or "covid region." We hope to have more information this week as other schools in our conference and region meet to make their decisions.
TMS football, which is not an IESA sanctioned sport, has been postponed. As a result of Governor Pritzker's statement last week, football would not be able to play under the guidelines imposed. We are currently working with teams and schools on our schedule and in the high school Mississippi Valley Conference to determine when and if a season will be able to be played. Given that football is not under the IESA banner, and some middle school teams are not governed by a school, there is not a specific timeframe of when a season would take place. As we continue to talk with other schools and teams about setting up a schedule, we will release that information.
Thank you for your patience as we work through safety guidelines to keep our student-athletes safe while providing them an opportunity to participate and compete in activities they enjoy.

TMS Distance Learning Launchpad
As we begin Distance Learning at Trimpe Middle School this week, we are setting up our Distance Learning Launchpad. This Launchpad will serve several purposes for TMS students, families and teachers:
We are very excited, and a little nervous, to begin this journey together as a community of students, families, teachers, and staff. Working together, we will make this a positive, learning, and valuable experience as we learn and grow together. We hope that this Launchpad will be a useful place for all.
You can visit the TMS Distance Learning Launchpad by clicking here.
- This will serve as a place for each student to see where their teacher wants them to go to get assignments for class. For most, it is is their Google Classroom. For others, it is their website. Each student can look at their grade level and the class and see where their specific teachers want them to go in order to get instruction and assignments.
- Daily announcements and other important information.
- We will continue to celebrate birthdays and positive happenings with our students and teachers, just like we did each morning when we were in the building at TMS.
- A Daily Challenge. It will be something different each day. While we are not physically at school, we have an opportunity to do other positive, educational challenges. We will try and highlight those positive things that our students, staff, and community are doing.
- Teachers will be emailing their students and communicating daily.

Extracurricular Changes Due to Snow Day on 12-17-19
The cancelation of school for a Snow Day on Tuesday, December 17th will impact several of our events. Below is some important information regarding our school activities, games, concerts, etc.:

The concert will begin at 7:30pm in the Main Gym at Civic Memorial High School. The CM Band/Choir concert will begin at 6:00pm in the CM Gym. These times were chosen so that high school students who have final exams on Wednesday may get home earlier to study and to help alleviate parking congestion and the flow of everyone in and out of the CM gym.

Parents and students, please park in the front circle and enter TMS through the Main Entrance by the office. Students should be at CM by 6:45pm. Band students - dress is all black, nice clothes. Choir students - dress is black on bottom, dress shirt on top.

Summer Coding Camp
The Triad technology team is having youth summer camps for students in grades 1-7. The camps will run Monday June 10- Thursday June 13 at Silver Creek Elementary in Troy. The format of the programs is "make and take"-meaning students will have the opportunity to learn about programming with a fun, engaging tool, and then at the end of the week, they will get to take the device with them! Our hope is that students will be excited about their new resource and will continue to learn more about it throughout the summer.
They will offer two sessions. The A.M. session will run from 9:00-12:00, and the P.M. session will be from 12:30-3:30. If any students wishes to stay for both sessions, there will be a supervised lunch break from 12:00-12:30, however, no lunch will be provided and students planning to eat should pack a sack lunch for this time.
There are four elementary camp offerings- Sphero, Makey Makey, Ozobot, and Bloxels, and one middle school offering- Circuit Playground. The cost per session is $125 which includes the cost of the device students take home at the end of the week. Registration is available online at bit.ly/triadcodecamp and will remain open until Sunday, May 25 or until sessions reach a max participant level of 20 students.
