Middle School Matters

Happy Homecoming Friday!

We enjoyed a great homecoming week here at Trinity, complete with our annual parade and pep rally.  Everyone seems to be looking forward to enjoying the game tonight as we take on the Catholic Knights!

Here are some important reminders as we go into the weekend:

SAIS Visit Next Week

We are looking forward to welcoming a visiting team from the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) next week as we complete requirements for dual accreditation.  Trinity is currently accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) but will soon be accredited by both SAIS and SACS.  Many thanks to Laura Williams, our accreditation coordinator, for helping us get ready for this upcoming visit.  Check back next week for a full report.

Driving and Parking

We are asking that you please be very careful when approaching Trinity through our surrounding neighborhoods.  Please remember that children are walking to Vaughn Road School and will sometimes need to cross the street without the aid of a crossing guard.

Additionally, please be careful not to park in teacher spaces (especially in the Willett Hall parking lot) when attending or leading a Bible study before school.  We have visitor spaces along the left side of the front drive, and in the parking lot directly adjacent to the south end zone of Boykin Field, our football stadium.  Thank you for your attention to both of these matters.

Art Contest Winners

Our art department is at it again!  Several of our middle school students have won prizes in recent art contests around town.  You may see the list by clicking here.  Many thanks to Jennifer Bricken and Becky Miller for the outstanding job they do teaching our art students each day!

Achievement Testing

Please remember that achievement testing for the middle school division will be Tuesday, October 12, and Wednesday, October 13.  Both of these days will be half-days, with a 12:00pm dismissal.  Lunch will not be served.  We will discuss achievement test preparation in next week's post.
