Middle School Matters

Happy Friday!

It has been an exciting day here at Trinity!  We began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for our new Media Center, and then had a ground-breaking ceremony for the new lower school addition.  The halls were filled with excitement for both of these ceremonies, and it was great to see the new technology in the Media Center being used just minutes after all of the dignitaries and guests left the room.  Look for coverage of these events tonight on WSFA-12 and WAKA-8.

Becky Shepherd, our guidance counselor, has been visiting classes in order to help our students figure their current GPAs.  We are making worksheets available to you so this may be done at any time.  Simply click the link to access and print the worksheet:

Please remember to consult the Trinity Website for homecoming information.  There are many activities going on next week and you'll certainly want to remain in the loop.  The most important announcement, of course, it the fact that Friday of next week is a half-day.  I hope you can make it out to our homecoming festivities and game.  It promises to be a great time!

Mark your calendars: October 12 and 13 are testing days in the middle school and will be half-days.  Students will dismiss at 12:00 noon, and lunch will not be served.

You have heard me mention Common Sense Media on this blog many times, and for good reason.  The folks over there provide a plethora of valuable information for parents, and I will continue to send you helpful tidbits as I find them.  This week, the focus is on to what extent we should "snoop" into the online activities of our children.  You may access the article by clicking here.


Here are our tests for next week:

6th Grade: None

7th Grade: 

Wednesday - English

Thursday - English Vocabulary

8th Grade:

Wednesday - US History (McLemore)

Thursday - English
