Simple steps to participate in Troy's benefit night are as follows:
- Click - School Challenge Fundraiser
- Select Troy
- Select Teacher name
- Click apply
- Place order as normal
Important notes:
- Call in orders, Web orders, and mobile app orders will receive %20 donation back to Troy
- Please communicate to your parents that Troy must be added by clicking "School Challenge Fundraiser" button on online or mobile orders
- A pop-up will then ask for the teacher name
- For call in orders, only orders that we have been told are for Troy will count towards Donation. It is very important to stress that to the parents, so that you get all the donation that is due to you.
Spring Conferences
Spring Conferences will be held March 4 & March 6.
Read-A-Thon... Coming Soon
TROY INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL has decided to hold a Read-A-Thon this year!
Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more. We have planned 2 weeks of fun and competition for the students.
Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday March 2, 2026 and runs through March 13. The first week of our Read-A-Thon is Read Across America week.
About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.
We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on:
https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/3538343335/1?utm=email
and following the simple instructions.
We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.
We hope EVERYONE participates.
Thanks so much,
TROY INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL
From The Nurse
It’s cold and flu season, which means viruses are on the rise!🤒 Your school nurses want to take the time to send home a few reminders for school attendance and what to be looking out for.
• If your child has diarrhea or vomiting within the past 24 hours, keep them home.
• If your child has a continuous or disruptive cough, keep them home.
• Temperature/fever above 100 F by mouth, keep them home. Students need to be fever free without the use of medication (Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen) for 24 hours before returning to school.
• Signs of conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) such as red, crusty or swollen eyes, keep them home.
If your child isn’t feeling well before school, please take a moment to decide at home whether they’re ready for the day. The clinic is always here for students who start to feel sick during school, but it works best when children arrive feeling well.
Good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs and prevent respiratory illnesses from spreading in the classroom. If your child continues to be sick, please reach out to your pediatrician for further guidance. Our goal is to keep everyone as healthy as possible, we thank you for your cooperation at home as well.
