Troy 30-C Monthly Happenings
March 2024
Superintendent's Corner
It is hard to believe that Spring Break is just around the corner. Throughout our schools you can feel the excitement of Spring Break from both students and staff. This is a time to relax and rejuvenate in preparation for all of the exciting things still to come this school year. I know many of you may have trips planned for next week, a staycation, projects at home, or maybe this is just a time for you to take a deep breath and relax. No matter what your plans are, I hope you enjoy Spring Break!
I invite you all to join me for the final Coffee with the Superintendent of the current school year. This will take place on Wednesday, April 3 from 9:00am - 10:00am at the Troy 30-C District Office. I look forward to meeting with our families and community members at this event. Thank you for your continued support.
-Dr. Paul Schrik
