All of the PM rural routes tomorrow (8/23) and Thursday(8/24) will be running 10-15 minutes later than normal. These include PC (Steve), Cabery North(Karen), Cabery Stelle (Jim), Cullom W (Shelly) and Cullom E (Bob). This will allow students and drivers that have been on the bus the opportunity to go into the building to get a quick drink and cool off. We will also have cold water available on each bus as well.
Please note that if you are planning to have your child become a car rider rather than a bus rider, please notify the school tomorrow morning as soon as possible as that may change our routes. Thank you.

Tri-Point has recently been the beneficiary of a large amount of gently used student desks, chairs, tables, and other furniture, free of charge, from a suburban school that is undergoing a large refurbish. These desks and chairs will represent a very needed upgrade to some very dated items in our rooms. With that, over 100 desks, chairs, and other items that we are replacing will be offered to you free of charge, first come, first served. Those items have began to be placed within the fence of the west building in Kempton and will be there through this weekend. Please contact the office if you have any questions. Thank you.
