Orange Frog Award
Congratulations to the following Tripp staff who were nominated by their colleagues to receive the Orange Frog Award!
Congrats, Eliza Reed! Eliza showed so much kindness by stepping in last minute to support me for STEM Night. Without her support, it wouldn’t have run smoothly. I always appreciate her willingness to jump in and help as well as her joyful presence.
Congrats, Amy Wacker! During her plan time, Amy kindly helped in the office! Thank you, Amy. You are loved!
“Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.” —Eric Hoffer
Congrats, Hannah McClelland!

Report Cards & NO FLY

HERE are the slides from our Report Card Review.
ELA SALT Update
As I shared at our recent staff meeting, our ELA SALT for K-2 has been investigating the updated Lucy Calkins resources which better connect phonics to reading instruction. Gail Brua will be piloting in the fall. In addition, the 2nd grade team has committed to the new writing unit on opinion writing called "Everything is Awesome" next year for trimester 3. Julie Machtinger and Jill Carlson will pilot both of the new writing units and all of the reading units. Gail will also be piloting another new writing unit next school year called "Nonfiction Research" for trimester 2.

As A Review
Extended School Year
HERE is a link to see which students are attending/not attending ESY. The spreadsheet will indicate attending or not attending. If that column is blank, that means the DO is still waiting for a response. These will be updated in real-time as we receive responses from parents.

PTO School Supplies
PTO is handling school supplies differently for the fall. PTO is still using the same vendor, EPI, but ordering will be done online and supply boxes will be shipped to parents' home. Please click on the links below for more information.
