Tri County Public Schools
Small School PRIDE Cultivating BIG Opportunities
🚧🔨 Guess That Classroom! 🔨🚧
Our official groundbreaking ceremony isn't until TOMORROW at 11:30 (and we'd love for you to join us)... but we have a little secret to share:
We've already started!
As part of our facility update project, crews have begun removing partition walls in some of our classrooms. These updates will help improve school safety, reduce noise and distractions between classrooms, provide much-needed electrical outlets, and support the technology our students and staff use every day.
Now for the fun part...
👀 Can you identify these classrooms?
Take a look at the photos and comment below with whose classrooms you think they are! We'll see who knows Tri County best.
Be sure to follow along as we take you behind the scenes and share this exciting new chapter for Tri County. We can't wait to show you the progress along the way!

See you later 6th Grade! This amazing class has wrapped up their final day in elementary school and is now on their way to Jr.High! We wish you the best and excited for your futures ahead! They even recreated their Kindergarten class picture to bring it all together. 😊
What a fun way to finish our last day of school!
Today we held our all-school send-off to celebrate our 16 students who will be competing at State Track this weekend!
One of the highlights of the day was having a very special Kindergartener, Randall Ensz, join us to play a game where he had to guess each athlete’s event. A crowd favorite moment was when the elementary students started chanting Zach Vossler’s name for every event — while incredibly talented, sadly he won’t actually be competing in six events this weekend! It probably helped that Zach spent the year as a 3rd grade teacher’s assistant and had quite the elementary fan club cheering him on!
It was the perfect way to wrap up the school year and cheer on our student athletes as they head off to chase their goals. We are so proud of each of you and wish you the very best of luck at State Track! Go Trojans! 💙💛

As we celebrate retirement and transitions, we also want to extend our sincere gratitude to those teachers who are leaving Tri County to pursue new opportunities. Thank you for your commitment, service, and dedication to our students and school community, we wish you success and happiness in your next chapter.
Kim Franzen is retiring after 13½ years of dedicated service as a paraprofessional at Tri County. Her care, support, and commitment have made a lasting impact on countless students and staff, and we thank her for the difference she has made each day.
Kevin Weichel will officially retire on June 30 after 12 years as Tri County’s Head of Maintenance. Kevin’s hard work, dependability, and behind-the-scenes dedication have helped keep our schools running smoothly and created welcoming spaces for students and staff alike. We thank him for his years of service and wish both Kim and Kevin all the best in retirement.
7th graders in Mrs. Thimm's Language Arts class finish up the year with their demonstration speeches.
