All Trinity families are invited to Family Fun Day on Saturday, August 17, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The high school boys and girls soccer teams will be playing their first home games of the season at the Trinity School Athletic Center. Please save the date and be on the lookout for additional event details.


We need additional parent volunteers to help with this event. If you are able to help, please visit our SignUpGenius page to sign up. If you have any questions about Family Fun Day, please reach out to Kathy Klimek at kklimek@trinityschools.org or Julie Gabrielse at jgabrielse@trinityschools.org.

New Parent Orientation


First-time Trinity parents are invited to New Parent Orientation on Thursday, August 15, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Please join Mr. John Lee, head of school; Dr. Brian Peterson, dean of boys; Mrs. Alyson Greene, dean of girls; and the sixth-grade faculty for an evening of helpful information and Q&A. Please enter through the front doors of the school. We look forward to seeing you there!

Start of School Information


DROP-OFF & PICK-UP

Please use the west side (southbound) parking lane on Greenlawn Avenue during drop-off and pick-up. We ask that you avoid double-parking, dropping students off on the opposite side of the street (so that they have to cross the street during busy traffic times to reach campus), and parking on the east side of the street. Pedestrian cross-traffic during school arrival and dismissal times is not safe, and limiting school-related traffic to the west/southbound side of Greenlawn Avenue is also a courtesy to our neighbors.


STUDENT DRIVERS

If your child is planning to drive to school in the 2024-2025 school year, please fill out the Student Driver Form linked below. Senior parking is on the west side of Greenlawn Avenue, between the drive-in gate and Colfax Avenue. Junior parking and senior overflow is on Esther Street starting at Jefferson heading north. This year's form is required for both repeat and first-time student drivers.

8:05 a.m. Morning Prayer

12:30-1:00 p.m. Lunch and recess

STUDY HALL

Study Hall is offered each week on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 3:30-5:00 p.m. The first Study Hall of the year will be on Monday, August 26. When picking up your child from Study Hall, you will need to use the side door on the north side of the building (near the bike rack and up the steps) as our front office staff will not be available after office hours to let you in the front entrance of the School. Study Hall ends promptly at 5:00 p.m.


ABSENCES, TARDIES, AND EARLY DEPARTURE

If your child is going to be late or absent, please inform the front office as soon as possible (preferably by 8:15 a.m., on the day of the absence) by emailing tsgloffice@trinityschools.org. If your child is going to leave at any time during the day before 3:00 p.m., please have him or her bring a note signed by parents to Morning Prayer stating the time of departure, to be signed by the dean. When it is time to leave, your child will wait at the front office for you to either come inside for pick-up, or call the front office upon your arrival.


STUDENT MEDICATION

Students may take medications at school. We ask that both the medication (in its original container) and the signed parental consent (with any necessary instructions) be turned in to the office in a ziplock baggie with the family name written on it. Even non-prescription medications such as pain-relievers, cough drops, or antacids must come from home and be accompanied by a signed note giving the student permission to take them as needed. 


Students may keep medication with them, but only with the express written consent of a parent. There are certain prescription medications, however, that the school reserves the right to keep in the office.


WATER BOTTLES & EATING UTENSILS

Students are asked to bring their own water bottles to school every day, as well as any eating utensils they need for lunch. The front office does not have cups or disposable eating utensils available.

Please Update Your Contact Information


If a mailing address, phone number, or email address has changed for your family in the past 12 months (or since your child's enrollment at Trinity), please let us know by using the form linked below. A printed school directory will be shared with all Trinity families in the fall. We will include the contact information that we have on file for your family unless we hear otherwise from you. Thanks in advance for helping us make sure that this year's directory is accurate and up-to-date!
