A Message from Principal Mallon:
As many of you know, Tri-County holds one main funding event each year. Four years ago, we switched from an auction to a golf tournament. This year, our Golf Tournament will be held on Friday, June 10, 2016, at the Wentworth Hills Country Club in Plainville. This will be an early release day for students. We use the revenue we raise from the Golf Tournament to help fund student activities. Whether you are a golfer, sponsor, or volunteer, your help will be greatly appreciated. We would like to avoid having to charge students fees to participate in clubs and activities. Thank you in advance for your support.
Another way to get involved in the school is to join our very active Tri-County Athletic Boosters association. Members of TCB devote considerable time and energy to raising money to fund scholarships at graduation, trophies and awards at the end of each sports season, letter jackets for qualifying student athletes, and other special projects here at the school. You may have noticed a link to the TCB on the webpage under Athletics. If your schedule does not permit you to get directly involved, please consider supporting their various fundraising activities.

College Financing Seminar

Cooperative Education Update
Co-op seniors now have a Co-op Course in Its Learning. This interactive platform will allow Co-op students to reach out to Mrs. MacLeod easily, especially on B week when they are not at Tri-County. Bulletins will be posted along with answers to frequently asked questions as they arise. Additionally, both the Co-op Calendar and Time Sheet are now available for print through the site.
Co-op students are reminded they must fill out their time sheet in its entirety prior to their supervisor signing it at the end of the week in order to receive weekly credit for hours worked. They need to indicate the types of jobs, chores and experiences that they were a part of before the supervisor signs it. The shop teachers receive a copy of those time sheets. It is very important for the instructors to be aware of the types of new and different experiences that your child encounters on the job.
All Co-op students must turn their time sheet into Mrs. Roberts in the front office when they arrive back to school on Monday. Mrs. Roberts inputs those hours so that your child is not considered absent or delinquent from school. Failure to do so may result in suspension from Co-op for the next shop week. An occasional reminder to your child is always a plus and greatly appreciated!
Senior Project
Seniors have completed the process of determining what their Senior Project Product will be. Parents co-signed this form indicating that you are aware of the scope of the project selected. Senior Project fabrication time is Monday, November 16, through Wednesday, November 25.. All seniors will be working on their Projects in-house during this time. The student is responsible for providing the necessary materials to fabricate their Product.
