A Message from Mr. Marinoble

Triangle Elementary-   “Building Champions Together!”

At Triangle, we are celebrating our first full year in the “New” Triangle Elementary School!  This state of the art facility has interactive Smart Boards in every classroom.  Our school also has a bonus gymnasium (Activity Room) for additional physical fitness opportunities, a story room for special events, and an amazing library that is one of the centerpieces of our school!

Although we have been blessed with one of the most amazing facilities in all of Prince William County, what truly makes Triangle Elementary a special place is our Champion students and staff!  At Triangle Elementary, our vision is to “Build Champions Together.”  Each day, the staff, students, and parent volunteers embark upon the continuous educational journey in being lifelong learners.  Don’t be surprised to see our students engaged in a special research project in the library, reading a special book, or working on a story to share with peers.

Our staff has embraced several educational concepts to help accelerate student learning.  The Eight Step Instructional Process developed by Pat Davenport, Robert DuFour’s Professional Learning Communities, and Margaret Byrnes’ Baldrige in Education serve as frameworks for learning at Triangle Elementary.   We strongly believe in teamwork and must work collaboratively to accomplish excellence in education.

In this journey to build Champion Tigers, we realize our staff cannot do this alone.  Your support to our Tigers education is paramount.  Please find ways to get involved through our school’s P.T.O. (Parent Teacher Organization.) or P.A.C. (Parent Advisory Council) or by volunteering in your child’s class.  Give our office staff a call.  We would be happy to share ways you can get involved.

This fall, we piloted our first Champion after school clubs.  This was a huge success and just one way we take additional opportunities to reinforce character building skills with each child.  We discuss daily what it means to be a champion tiger and often remind our students about our Tiger Acronym that is part of our school-wide discipline plan.

T- Try your best

I- Improve your character

G- Get good grades

E- Exceed Expectations

R- Respect yourself, others, and school property
