I hope many of you have seen the signs posted around the village. It looks like we will have an early beginning to our snowy season this year, so please be mindful that if snowfall is greater than 2 inches, there will be no parking allowed on village streets until the snow event or plowing operations cease.

Thank you for your help.

On November 24, 2025, Tremont Police were notified by Tremont Middle School administration that an unloaded firearm had been located in the backpack of a juvenile student, which was stored in the juveniles locker. The student had already been isolated from the general student population prior to the discovery. School administrators immediately secured the firearm and turned it over to the School Resource Officer (SRO).

Tremont Police are actively investigating this incident, and the investigation remains ongoing. At this time, all students and staff are safe, and there is no indication of any threat to individuals or the school.

Bringing weapons onto school grounds is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Tremont School staff and Tremont Police will continue working diligently to maintain the highest level of safety across all three schools.

🚧 Traffic Alert – Pearl St & Tremont High School Area 🚧

The section of Pearl Street (IL RT9) where Tiber Creek passes underneath has been reduced to one lane. Three temporary traffic lights are now in place to manage the flow. Please be patient—these lights cycle slowly to allow safe passage through the single-lane zone.

Important for Tremont High School Access:

The main entrance is closed.
All traffic must use the eastern driveway, which now supports two-way traffic.
Follow the new striping and obey the traffic lights.
DO NOT turn in either direction when the light is red.

Your attention and caution are appreciated to keep everyone safe during this transition.
