A MESSAGE FROM MR. VINSON
Thank you again for all of your support and encouragement throughout this school year. It has once again been an incredible privilege to serve your family, and I want to thank you for choosing Trinity Christian School for your child’s educational needs. My hope and prayer is that your family finds rest, relaxation and unforgettable memories all summer long. We will see you again in August!

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2024-2025
Summer Break is here and a well deserved rest has finally arrived for each of our students. As we begin this season of vacation, use the information provided below to answer questions you may have about next year. Be on the lookout for even more specific information related to the start of the school year once the Inside the Pride newsletter returns in July.
If you haven’t already, please complete the appropriate form below regarding your child’s schedule for next year. We will begin developing elective schedules very soon so be sure to get your requests in. All forms are due by Friday, May 31.
SUMMER READING OPPORTUNITY
There is NO REQUIRED SUMMER READING, but our team has put together a list of suggested books and resources if your child would like to continue reading over the summer. Students who read 3 books from the suggested list will receive an incentive the first week we are back in August. Check out our suggested list here.
SUMMER MATH HELP
Use this document to review information from Ms. Paige Whitaker, our Math Curriculum Coordinator, regarding grade level skills your child may need to work on over the summer to ensure a smooth transition for next year. These suggestions are great for parents looking to reinforce concepts over the summer or for those just looking to keep their child sharp over the break.
SUPPLY LISTS FOR 2024-2025
These are our initial supply lists for next year. We will add to the list over the next month and will have a finalized list at the beginning of July. But for now, this list will help you get started if you are looking for early summer deals.
