Important Information
I want to thank everyone for making the time to meet with me during Parent/Teacher Conference Day. I am so happy that everyone came because I know that you all value the education that your child receives. Please know that if you have any questions or concerns, I am always here to help.
Please make sure that fully charged chromebooks are brought to school each day. This week I am introducing a new computer program for the students. We are going to be using Prodigy, as well as XtraMath and ReadWorks. Students will be able to use Prodigy for both math and ELA.
Monday is picture retake day. I believe information was sent home last week with the appropriate details.
I will not be in school on Friday, November 22nd. Please make sure any important information for that day is addressed directly to the school office.
Our Thanksgiving feast day is on Wednesday, November 27th. We will be joining the rest of the school in the gymnasium for the feast. It is a wonderful tradition at Trinity where we can all get together and thank God for all he has given us. I also want to wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving.
Many of you asked when the third grade is leading chapel this year. We have two dates: February 12 and June 11.
