Triton Elementary School Update - September 30, 2022
Principal's Update
We had a successful picture day today with all of our students getting photographed. We wanted to send out information on how ordering works now that the pictures have been taken. In addition, you will find information below on school lunches, upcoming school and community events, and more.
Unfortunately, we did have two days this week when our crossing guard was not present at the corner in the morning. We have taken steps to ensure this does not happen again!
It has been a great month around TES and we are looking forward to the month of October!

Digital Tools Used at Triton
Triton Public Schools uses a variety of digital tools to support student learning. Technology vendors and software are utilized to support work as we help all students develop the skills necessary to succeed in an ever-changing world.
We have an inventory of our curriculum, testing, and assessment tools posted at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1unjuIsIGGM2021Tdas_yEXLTsqA4oD1gkgZ_SXMUujA/edit?usp=sharing and include an outline of the student data elements within each tool. This list is maintained and communicated annually to all families at the start of the school year.
Please reach out to Technology Coordinator Rebecca Goossens (rgoossens@triton.k12.mn.us) or Technology Integrationist Coltt Ullom (cullom@triton.k12.mn.us) for additional questions regarding specific digital tools used in classrooms.
Sincerely,
Triton Public Schools
