Triton High School Newsletter - April 29, 2024
Calendar Reminders
We have many upcoming events at Triton High School. The most up-to-date calendar information can be accessed via the links below.
Crossing Guard Update
We wanted you to know that we will have a crossing guard present at Hwy 34 before and after school (pending weather) for the remaining portion of the school year. The crossing guard will be present from 7:35 AM - 8:00 AM, and 3:00 PM - 3:15 PM.
Thank you!
eLearning Day, Tuesday, May 7
We will have an eLearning Day for all students on Tuesday, May 7. The following expectations are in place for this day.
1. Students should submit their attendance online via Infinite Campus. This is especially important for students planning to participate in extracurriculars that evening.
2. School work and assignments should be completed via the LMS Schoology.
3. Teachers will be available for online meetings should questions arise.
Prom 2024
Prom night was a success! Our students did a wonderful job throughout the evening and once again the Somerby staff only had fantastic things to say about our Triton students! A very special thank you goes out to Kristy Faber, the Prom Committee, and the wonderful chaperones for making this experience possible.
THS Band and Choir Concert Schedule Change
The final high school concert date has changed! The May 14th concert has been rescheduled to May 21st due to conflicts with BPA Nationals and the Supermileage contest.
The school calendar in May is chock full of great events and scheduling has proven difficult this time around. We want to have a chance to feature our seniors on their last concert of high school, and a number of seniors had a school conflict regarding either BPA Nationals or Supermileage with the previous date.
We know there is an away baseball game on the new date, so unfortunately that creates a different set of students who would be unable to attend the concert unless the game is canceled due to weather.
Thank you everyone for your understanding and flexibility. Please contact the Activities Office with any questions or concerns!
Corey Black, Christine Deetz, and Andrew Wotherspoon
Administrative Professionals Day, Wednesday, April 24!
Administrative Professionals Day is a time to recognize and celebrate the administrative assistants who keep our school offices running smoothly and efficiently. We are blessed to work with two of the best in the business here at Triton High School. Annalee and Michelle continue to demonstrate excellent organization and communication skills. Their attention to detail is also second to none. A very special thank you goes out to Michelle Petersohn and Annalee Thomas for their continued hard work, support, and leadership.

How To Stay Engaged With Your Child's School Experience
We have been working hard to make sure that parents and families have the information they need to help guide their child through their years at Triton High School.
We want all students to develop self-advocacy skills and learn to manage things appropriately, but parent/guardian guidance and support are crucial to the overall success of students and our school.
Please use the guide pictured to the left on ways to stay involved and engaged in your child's educational experiences.
