** Bad Weather - In case of inclement weather, parents should listen to school closing information on local radio and television stations.

* School Spirit Days - Every Friday! Tri-C Elementary School encourages students to show their school spirit by wearing orange and navy blue to school every Friday!

* Lost and Found - Check the lost and found in our all-purpose room if you have lost any item of clothing or other article. All unclaimed items will be routinely donated to the Food Pantry.

* Going Outside - We will be going outside for lunch recess as long as the temperature is above 25 degrees.

* Perfect Attendance and On Time to School - Learning to be prompt is a quality that we want to teach our children. It is a part of our creed. Perfect attendance is being linked with tardiness. Children who are tardy to school will not be recognized for perfect attendance. School starts at 8:05 a.m. The tardy bell rings at 8:05 a.m. Students who arrive at school after the 8:05 a.m. bell should come to the the office to receive a tardy pass. Students who are signed out prior to the end of the school day are also considered "tardy" and/or absent for part of the day.

* Student Recognition Day & All-Star Luncheon - Thank you for supporting our Student Recognition Day and All-Star Luncheon. The All-Star Luncheon is for 3rd and 4th grade students who either have received all A's on their report card or have fulfilled all of their responsibilities for the 9 weeks.

* Tri-C Foundation Grants - The Tri-C Foundation is a local not for profit organization that provides financial support for local Carterville Schools. In previous years, money has been granted to Tri-C teachers for special projects. Karla McCamish and Beckie Savka have received funding for FROGGY, the activity housed in the library at Tri-C. Jackie Koonce and Chip Lennox have received funding for an outdoor classroom to be constructed at Tri-C. Debbie Horn and Kelly Webb have received funding for Read to Write and Write to Read Day this year at Tri-C.

* Parking Off Road - Please do not park off of the paved areas around or in front of the school We have had several get stuck and it is a challenge to grow anything in those areas. We are anticipating more parking as the High School project progresses. Thanks!

* Party Invitations- We will no longer be allowing party invitations to be passed out at school. This out of concern for the privacy and protection of our students. Please use the US Mail or other methods when inviting students to parties. Also, we cannot provide phone numbers and addresses of our students for mailings.
