Welcome Home Lions!!

Welcome home Lions!!

By Samantha DePriest

The 2023-2024 school year has officially begun for our Trinity Christian School Lions!! Though heavy rain, wind, and a threat of hail put a damper on our “Welcome to the Roar” event plans on Sunday night, God sure did paint us a beautiful sunset the night before “Meet The Teacher” on Monday.

Our littlest Lions spent their first week learning all the things from how to find their hook in the hallway to hang their book bag on to how to carry their lunch tray filled with lots of colorful and healthy food to their table. They learned new Bible verses, practiced writing their letters, and made new friends. As we start this second year on our TCS GO Church campus, we celebrate the beautiful space and many resources we have been blessed with.

Our Lower Elementary students visited their classrooms and enjoyed special touches including a welcome back balloon arch and popsicles on “Meet the Teacher” day. Families enjoyed meeting their children’s teachers and assistants while visiting classrooms. Our Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) hosted a uniform and spirit wear swap in the gym for families to pick up pieces for the new school year for free.

Walking schedules, meeting teachers, receiving chrome books, and learning how to open lockers was the main focus of “Meet the Teacher” day for our middle school students and their parents. Daily assemblies were held in the gym during welcome week that helped prepare our students on how to be a middle schooler and how to cheer one another one while completing in various games and events.

Our high school students also walked their schedules, met their teachers, and received chrome books in our high school on Monday at the “Meet the Teacher” event. The recent completion of our new state of the art kitchen has brought much excitement for our students this first week back. Enhanced menus, increased variety of menu choices, and three different serving windows during two lunch periods promises to make lunch time a much anticipated time of day for our students.

Lastly, our Seniors kicked off their last first days of school at Camp Highlands tucked away in the North Georgia mountains for a special time of fellowship and fun. A Senior Retreat Brunch was hosted in our High School Multi-purpose room including seniors and their parents. A spirit filled time of worship led by Jasper Kent, Worship pastor from Crossroads Church, and Leighton Cannon, TCS Alumni, along with food and fellowship made for lasting memories. Seniors and their parents gathered together on the field for prayer before loading the buses and heading north for 3 days of team building and seeking God’s will for their lives .

We are off to a fantastic start to the school year and are filled with much anticipation for what God has in store for TCS in 2023-2024. It’s a great time to be a Lion!

Back to School: Let's Get Ready!

About this time every July amidst summer vacations and summer camps, our families start thinking about the upcoming school year. The start of school signals the beginning of the next exciting chapter for our Lions, We look forward to welcoming our families back on campus and have been praying for this upcoming school year.  Some parents have printed out school supply lists and purchased all the items while others are soaking up that last bit of summer fun. To help our families prepare and get ready for this new exciting school year, we wanted to share some of the many resources available.  

Our weekly newsletter Inside the Pride is the #1 best way to stay in the know with all things Trinity. Our principals update content weekly with important dates to remember, special events, and much more. Each newsletter also contains contact information for staff regarding curriculum, student life, and more.. Newsletters are emailed every Sunday evening and again on Wednesday’s to those who haven’t opened them yet. Students and parents, and even grandparents, are encouraged to subscribe to the newsletter to help stay in the know.

The New Family landing page was created to help our first year families navigate the first year at Trinity but is also serves as a helpful tool for our returning families. School supply lists, TCS Lions lingo, dining services, and more can be found here. Many ways to plug in and connect with families through our TCS PTF (Parent Teacher Fellowship), Room Parents, Lions Club, and Annual Fund can also be found on the New Family page. Two FAQ’s .pdf documents can be found at the bottom of the New Family page packed with grade specific information. These are perfect to screenshot and save for future use.

The TCS Family Handbook is a comprehensive online resource with updates for all things Trinity including updated policies and procedures for the 2023-2024 school year.

The Trinity School Events Calendar is a great place to find out about all the happenings on our campus. It is updated regularly and a source of information for those wanting to support our Athletics and Arts programs The school calendar can also be found on this page to help families plan time away. 

The Roar Store, our brand new school store, is located behind the High School building next to the stadium. The Roar Store is a convenient place to purchase necessary items for your family before the start of school. There are summer shopping hours available and an online store as well..

Trinity Summer Camps are a great way to help our kiddos connect with students prior to the start of school. There are several camps available for the month of July that can be found on the summer camp landing page.

Lastly, save the date for our Welcome to the Roar: Back to School event on Sunday, August 6th from 5-8pm at our Trinity Stadium.
