Troy 30-C Monthly Happenings
April 2024
Superintendent's Corner
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying our cool start to Spring! I want to express my gratitude for your ongoing support and dedication to our district. Your participation in our Panorama and 5Essentials surveys is valued and greatly impactful to the continuous improvement of Troy 30-C. I want to extend my thanks and appreciation for your time spent providing valuable information.
The Troy 30-C 2024-2027 Strategic Plan has been presented to the Board of Education as a first draft. They are currently reviewing the draft and are to approve the plan in May. The plan will be our roadmap for great work over the next 3 years and we are eager to begin!
As we approach May, I want to take a moment to highlight an important occasion: Teacher Appreciation Week, which will be celebrated May 6th -May 10th. This is a time for us to express our gratitude and recognize the incredible contributions of our teachers and staff. The Troy 30-C community is powerful when we come together and I encourage you to join me in thanking our teachers and staff for their unwavering commitment to education, and for inspiring the next generation of leaders.
Let's finish this 23-24 school year strong Troy 30-C! With many end-of-the-year events planned, it is sure to be an exciting month of May!

Notes from the Nurse
Parents, as we quickly approach the end of the school year, we understand how important it is for students to be in class. However, children aren't at their best learning potential if they are not feeling well. If your child is not feeling well and needs medication before going to school, please make sure that you take their temperature first. If their temperature is over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, please keep them home until they are fever-free (without fever-reducing medication) for 24 hours.
Parents of students entering Preschool, Kindergarten, and 6th Grade next year: Your student will need current physical and immunization documents turned into the school nurse before August 1, 2024. Building Nurses are accepting 24-25 physical and immunization records now. Don't delay, make your physical appointment today!
Showing Up Together, Attendance Matters!
We are pleased to share that our attendance rate is currently 93.57% at Troy 30-C. We are striving for 95% daily attendance across the district.
Daily student attendance remains important as we approach the last day of school, which is Friday, May 24, 2024. We will continue to strive for excellence until we reach summer break. Thank you for partnering with us to be sure students are maintaining a consistent, on-time school attendance pattern.
Please continue to promote excellent school attendance! This will remain a top priority and focus for the 2024-2025 school year! Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
Troy 30-C Reads Nearly 300,000 Minutes!

Our next district challenge will take place over the summer months. More information will be sent home in May.
