Troy 30-C Monthly Happenings
May 2024
It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the last day of the 2023-2024 school year. Our students and staff have all strived for success this school year, and for that I am proud! From daily learning in class to improving standardized test scores and attendance rates, Troy 30-C has had an exciting and successful school year! I visited our schools on multiple occasions throughout the year, and was always greeted with smiles on students' faces and their excitement for learning. I had opportunities to talk and listen to the staff, and for that I am grateful. These are all opportunities for me to listen and help improve our school district.
As our 8th grade students prepare for graduation this evening, I too am preparing to watch you walk across the stage and experience this exciting moment with all of you. You have earned it! Enjoy your graduation night! Don't forget your Troy home. We are always here to support you.
Thank you to all of our families, staff, and community members for all you do each and every day. Without all of you, we could not do what we do to educate and improve the lives of the students we serve. I hope you all enjoy the summer! Take some time to relax and appreciate the little moments of sunshine.
-Dr. Paul Schrik

As we wrap up the 23-24 school year, we are pleased to share that our daily attendance rate for Troy 30-C ended at 93.63%! We strived for 95% daily attendance across the District. I am proud of our buildings efforts and we will continue to use the high achieving 95% rate as our goal for next school year which is considered “excellent” attendance.
A few highlights of our District wide attendance for this school year:
- Troy Shorewood topped the District at 95.66% daily attendance
- Troy Cronin was second at 94.06% daily attendance
- Troy Hofer was third at 93.99% daily attendance
- Our Troy 30-C 4th Graders led the grade level charge with a daily attendance rate of 94.83%
- 3rd Graders were second at 94.54%
- 2nd Graders rounded out the top 3 at 94.35%
- As part of our District Continuous Improvement Plan, our Chronic Absenteeism rate was 23.3% in Spring 2023 and currently is 16.7% for Spring 2024.
