The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph

I hope your family is enjoying these last few weeks of summer! Please let us know if you have any questions as you are preparing for the start of school. In this newsletter, I have included a section titled, “Meet Our New Staff”. Each week, I will update this section with various new staff members who have joined our Lower School team. Don’t miss out on getting to know the new faces you will see around campus!


Meet Our New Staff

I am pleased to introduce Katie Judy, who is joining Trinity as our K3 (3day) teacher. 

Mrs. Judy has been teaching for 15 years in various school settings, age levels, and positions. She previously taught 5th grade at Trinity and is excited to be returning! She and her husband Dan have three children who will also be at TCS. Lila will be in 1st grade, Lizzie in Pre-K4, and James in Pre-K3. Mrs. Judy enjoys spending time with her family and friends, being involved in her church, shopping, and reading. She aims to create a loving environment where her students can learn, grow, and begin to understand the love of Christ.


It is my pleasure to introduce Christian Wade, who is joining us as our school nurse and receptionist at our Go Church location. Mrs. Wade was born and raised in Douglasville, Georgia.  She graduated from Samford University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and is a Registered Nurse (RN). Mrs. Wade currently lives in Peachtree City with her husband, Trevor, and her three children - Tanner (6), Tyler (4), and Collins (2). Tanner and Tyler are joining the Trinity family this year in Kindergarten and PK-4 respectively, and Mrs. Wade is looking forward to Collins attending Trinity in the coming years. She and her family are incredibly grateful to be a part of the Trinity family and to support its mission for years to come.


Trinity at Go Church Update

We are so excited about our early learning facility at Go Church! It has been a fun summer project as our team has been preparing this new space for our youngest Trinity lions. I am thrilled with how this location will serve our students and their families. Chris Hanson, our Director of Operations, will be sending formal communication soon regarding transportation. We can’t wait to show you this new space during our Back to School Events!
