TISD Families, I wanted to provide everyone with an update regarding the fire at our elementary campus. Today, I was notified that the investigation into the cause of the fire has been concluded. The cause of the fire is being ruled as undetermined. The district is moving forward with the demolition process and we will provide an update to everyone when that process is set to begin. We also want to remind everyone that we are grateful for all of the support we have received but at this time we do not need any further supplies or material donations. If you want to assist us moving forward, please contact CapTex Bank about making a donation to our account. For everyone's safety, we continue to ask that everyone stay off of the grounds and away from the building. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate the remainder of the school year. Sincerely, Jeremy Strickland Superintendent Trenton ISD

TISD Families, I wanted to take a moment and provide a district update to our community regarding the fire investigation, donations, and school procedures. Fire Investigation: While the fire at our elementary school is still under investigation, I can share with the community that there is no evidence of arson at this time. We are still determining how long the investigation will continue and will update the community once the investigation is concluded. The district asks that everyone please continue to stay off of the property and away from the building. Donations: Our district has been overwhelmed by the show of support we have received from all across the area. It’s hard to describe how these acts of kindness have helped us get through this past week. While we are extremely grateful for everyone's generosity, we have reached the point where our students and staff now have more than needed to finish the school year. The end of the day Monday, April 17, will be the last day our district will accept donations of student/teacher supplies or materials. We hope that everyone can understand that our district does not want to take advantage of everyone’s generosity and collect more items than we need for our students and staff. Contact Madi Neill at mneill@trentonisd.org to schedule donations to be delivered by April 17. For anyone wanting to continue helping our district moving forward, we encourage you to make a donation to our account at CapTex Bank by visiting any of their branch locations or contacting them directly at 903-989-2235. This is the best way to continue helping our district. School Procedures: As we continue to work our way through our new normal, we will continue to monitor our processes. We ask our 1st - 8th-grade parents to please take note of their child’s lunchtime. If you have to pick up your child for any reason, it needs to be either before or after your child's lunchtime. Once we bus students to the high school, they cannot leave with a parent until they return to campus from lunch. #TigersTogether Sincerely, Jeremy Strickland Superintendent Trenton ISD

Our PreK - 2nd Grade students are doing amazing today adjusting to their new classrooms. We appreciate these families patience over the past couple of days as we worked to get everything ready to welcome our Little Tigers back to school. These teachers and staff members have done an excellent job preparing for this transition. #TigersTogether Sincerely, Jeremy Strickland Superintendent Trenton ISD

Dear TES Parents, We are excited to be receiving all of our students back to school tomorrow! Below are a few important things we need to communicate: Students who bring their lunch to school will need to bring these with them in the mornings. We are having to bus students (Grades 1st-4th) to the high school each day for lunch. Therefore, we are unable to ensure that a lunch dropped off at the office will get with the student before they leave for lunch. Any after school changes must be called into the office @ 903-989-2243 by 2:00 pm at the latest. Drop off at the churches (pre-k & kindergarten) and at the middle school (1st-4th grades) begins at 7:20 am. Pre-K and Kindergarten parents may walk their student into their building tomorrow only, view the classroom, and then quickly say your “see you laters.” Starting Monday, we will need you to drive through the line at the church and drop off as usual. Pre-K - Trenton First Baptist Kindergarten - First United Methodist Trenton Pre-K and Kindergarten pick-up will begin at 3:00 pm. If you have students at both the church and middle school campuses, please go to the church campus first for pick up and then go to the middle school. Pick up for grades 1-4 will begin at 3:10. We look forward to seeing all of our Little Tigers tomorrow!

District Update 4/12/23 TISD Families, On behalf of Trenton ISD, I want to say thank you for a great first day back. As a district, we have been forced to make several operational changes to our school day and everyone adapted extremely well to these changes. We appreciate everyones patience with the changes to our drop-off and pick-up procedures. Please know that we will continue to monitor our procedures over the next few days and will make additional adjustments if needed. For our PreK - 2nd-grade families, we are working hard to get everything ready for Friday morning. We are excited to welcome these students back and have all of our Tigers back in class. We know Friday will look a little different for these students but rest assured that our staff will be prepared and ready to take care of our little tigers. Lastly, I want to acknowledge the amazing work our staff has done in a short amount of time to get our students back in school. Trenton ISD is blessed to have a district full of dedicated and passionate adults that consistently go above and beyond the call to take care of our students. While our hearts are broken over the loss of our elementary building, please know that we are more focused than ever on taking care of our students. We know that we are not alone in this journey and we are grateful for the outpouring of support we continue to receive. Please continue to keep our staff and students in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate the challenges in front of us. #TigersTogether Sincerely, Jeremy Strickland Superintendent Trenton ISD

Trenton ISD Update Hello Tiger Families, I wanted to provide a quick district update for everyone in our community. Today, inspectors from the State Fire Marshall's office conducted their investigation on-site. The next step in this process will be to have an engineer come out and inspect the building before another investigation begins from our insurance company. Please continue to stay away from the building and off the grounds around the building. Being on the grounds or around the building may compromise the investigation process. We greatly appreciate the overwhelming support we are receiving from not only our community but from all of our surrounding communities. At this time, we ask that if you are interested in making a donation to Trenton ISD please contact Madi Neill at mneill@trentonisd.org. All information about current teacher/district needs will be coordinated through the administration office. Sincerely, Jeremy Strickland Superintendent Trenton ISD
