The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph
WOW! What a fun week! Our students had a great time participating in Homecoming week festivities. Parents, you have once again done an outstanding job with your children’s costumes! Last Friday was our Roar Rally event. I hope you were able to join in the fun via Facebook Live. Our students had a blast and Trinity spirit could be felt and seen everywhere!
This week In Chapel
Pastor Kami continued our Fruit of the Spirit series with a lesson on kindness. In this lesson, our students learned how to live a life of kindness. Through the story of Jesus healing the blind man, we learned how to stand out in a world filled with selfishness and discord.
Main Focus: We must show kindness to all.
Power Verse: Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. - Ephesians 4:32

Blackbaud: Classroom Updates & Information
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 will replace the hardcopy newsletter sent home in the past. I encourage you to login each week. We are excited for this new format! Information will be updated each Sunday at 5pm.
Accessing your child's class information weekly:
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.
The "Topics" pages update each Sunday evening at 5pm and will remain current until the following Sunday evening.
