The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph
We are so proud to have 100% of our faculty and staff personally support Trinity’s Annual Fund! Now, we are excited to invite our Lower School families to join us.
Gifts to the Annual Fund directly support the programs, resources, technology, and opportunities that make a difference in our students’ experience each day. They also help provide professional development for our teachers as we continue to grow and strengthen what we offer our students.
Thank you for partnering with us and investing in our students, our teachers, and the future of Trinity!
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
~Proverbs 3:5

HOMECOMING SPIRIT WEEK THEMES
September 28th - October 2nd
Here are the top choices that were voted on by HS students. When you dress up, please make sure to follow our guidelines below.
Last week in Chapel we continued our "Life Lab” series talking about the elements God has given us to live a healthy Christian life. Pastor Kami taught about the element of Separation, which is what is also known as holiness - being set apart for God. When we make Jesus the Lord of our lives we can still live in the world, but not talk and act like the world. Our friends Kevin & Riley helped lead us in worship and Chuck Foo helped kids learn the main idea.
Main Focus: I won’t live like the world
Power verse: “'…come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them,’ says the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 6:17a

Staying Informed and Up-to-date with
Classroom Happenings
To stay informed of what’s happening in your child’s classroom, please login into Blackbaud weekly. You will be able to see information such as weekly classroom announcements, upcoming events, weekly academic focus, grades, attendance, etc. This is the key to staying informed and replaces hardcopy newsletters. I encourage you to login each week. Information will be updated each Sunday at 5pm.

Login to your Blackbaud account and select your child's name under "Children".
Find your child's homeroom class under the "Progress" tab by scrolling down to where classes are listed.
After selecting the homeroom class, you will see the teacher's main class page where you will locate upcoming dates, class reminders and news.
Select the "Topics" tab to see specific information for each individual subject. Within each subject folder, you will see a plan for the week and upcoming projects and test information.
