Middle School Notes

Well, just one more week before Spring Break! Hopefully the weather will warm up a bit so we can enjoy this great season of the year.

We've had a great week here at Trinity. Our beginning band students enjoyed a concert presented by the Montgomery Symphony on Wednesday, and our dance students attended a presentation of Peter Pan today. In the meantime, we've enjoyed the Upper School production of Hello Dolly.

Here are a couple of important reminders:

1. Some of our students are growing out of uniforms that were purchased at the beginning of the school year. Please help us out by consulting the Trinity Handbook and ensuring that your child's skirt length, etc, is appropriate. Boys should also be able to tuck in their shirts and they should remain tucked in throughout the day. This becomes difficult once the shirts become too short. Your attention to these dress code matters is greatly appreciated.

2. Many of our students are involved in sports, which highlights the need for good study skills and time management. You might want to refer to this post which highlights some tips for setting aside time for study and homework, as well as some good organizational tips. Please remember to check your child's agenda book daily for assignments and upcoming projects, quizzes, and tests. Several of our teachers now have Wikis, with relevant information posted.
3. Please remember to help us out during carpool by picking your middle school student up by the steps in front of Willett Hall. Middle school students should not be exiting the school building via the front entrance immediately after school.

Here are our tests for this week:

6th Grade:
