A Message to High School Parents

Dear TCS Families,

As we approach Veterans Day this week, we pause to recognize and honor the brave men and women who have served in our nation’s armed forces. Veterans Day is a time for us to reflect on the sacrifices made by these individuals who dedicated their lives to protecting our freedoms and ensuring our safety. Their courage and commitment have shaped our nation’s history and provided the foundation for the freedoms we enjoy today. At Trinity Christian School, we believe it is important for our students to understand and appreciate the values of service, sacrifice, and patriotism exemplified by our veterans.

In tribute to these heroes, Trinity Christian School will be hosting a special dinner on Tuesday, November 12th, to honor the veterans in our community. The TCS Beta Club will be organizing this event as a way to give back to those who have given so much for us. We extend our deepest gratitude to all veterans for their service, bravery, and unwavering dedication. It is our privilege to honor them this week, and we encourage our TCS community to join us in showing appreciation for these remarkable individuals.

In gratitude,

Blake Bass

Assistant Head of School

Interim High School Principal

COLLEGE FINANCIAL AID WORKSHOP

The counseling department is hosting a college financial aid workshop on Thursday, Dec. 5th from 6:30-7:30 pm in the Student Activities Center in Building 1. Ben Meadows from the Georgia Student Finance Commission will be here to discuss the Hope Scholarship, state aid programs and share details about the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This will be an informative meeting for seniors and their parents looking at ways to pay for college and complete all the necessary college financial aid documentation.

SEMESTER ONE COURSE GRADES

The first semester is rapidly moving along, as we only have six weeks left in the grading period. Students should be aware of their current grade in each one of their classes and connect with their teacher for ways to improve their grade. This would include getting assignments completed on time, turning in late work that can still be accepted and using their Do-Over assignment opportunities if they have not already done so.

All failed courses remain on the transcript. Any course that is not passed will have to be made up in order to receive the necessary credit for graduation. Students who fail a semester course will be notified by the counseling department of their options for completing failed courses.

NOVEMBER - APPLY TO COLLEGE MONTH

Georgia Apply to College (GAC) is part of the American College Application Campaign, a national initiative of ACT's Center for Equity in Learning to increase the number of students accessing postsecondary education. In support of GAC each year, the Governor has proclaimed November to be Georgia Apply to College Month.

Many schools within Georgia waive their application fees during the month of November. In support of this initiative, the counseling department will be encouraging our seniors to apply to at least one college in the month of November.

WHAT COLLEGE IS A GOOD MATCH FOR ME?

Trying to figure out what college makes sense? Not sure you can go to college at all based on your GPA? If that is the case, GEORGIA MATCH IS FOR YOU!

Georgia Match is a simple way for students to know where they are eligible for admission, based on their recent high school calculated HOPE grade point average (GPA). The Georgia Student Finance Commision is helping students see where they could attend college in Georgia based on their current academic record and then to apply to institutions that they are most interested in attending.
