A Message from the Headmaster


Dear Archway Trivium Families,


Today marks the completion of our first full week of school. For my part, it feels like we are in mid-season form. Our returning teachers picked up right where they left off last year without any noticeable regression. Our new teachers have stepped right in and adopted the culture of the academy and are integrating themselves. As always, pick-up and drop-off are terribly obnoxious for the moment. We never seem to get that quite right until the end of the second week. So, we have that to look forward to!


I feel truly blessed to work with such wonderful people in so beautiful an endeavor. Every day, I get to wake up and position nearly 100 teachers to provide the best liberal arts education to 900 of the most splendid children I could imagine. What could be better than that! I hope that your children enjoyed this week as much as I did, and I hope that all within the Trivium community can carry that joy with us throughout this entire school year.


Heartily Devoted,


Clay Scott, Ed.D.

Headmaster, Archway Trivium

Reminder: No Student Drop-off/Pick-up on Granada/Palm Lane


As a reminder, there is no student pick up/drop off allowed from Granada/Palm Lane. For the safety of all, please follow the school traffic flow outlined in the Family Handbook. Thank you for your cooperation to help make pick up and drop off run safely and smoothly.

Volunteer in the Lunch Room


The Archway Trivium PSO invites parent volunteers to help in the Archway Trivium Lunchroom! Parent volunteers can assist in serving the food, helping the younger children in the lunchroom, ensuring the lunch room remains clean and lunch period runs smoothly. You can sign up to volunteer once a month, once a week, or every day. It’s a very important volunteer role that also makes for a fun view into your scholar’s life at school!


All volunteers MUST be verified through the Great Heart volunteer application (Raptor) and have completed the Archway Trivium Volunteer Training prior to serving. Raptor clearance must be renewed annually based on application date.


Ways to Participate:

This role is responsible for organizing the lunches by grade and distributing them to the students as they come in for lunch. Please plan to be there from 10:30am-12:50pm. Volunteers will receive a lunch account credit with My Hot Lunchbox. The credit is $5 per person per day, and the volunteer must be registered to MHL with a matching email to receive the credit. The credits will be tallied monthly and credited to your account within the first 2 weeks of the following month. Please email psolunch@archwaytrivium.org if you have any questions regarding the credits. Children are not permitted to help with this volunteer position.


Volunteer as a Lunchroom Helper


This role was created to assist our 1st-5th grade classes and help keep the lunchroom clean and running smoothly. Please plan to be there from 10:45am-1:00pm. Younger siblings are welcome to serve alongside parents as a “Lunchroom Buddy.”

  2. The Raptor system will send a reminder email 60 days prior to your application expiration date and again five days before expiration.
  3. If you obtained a Fingerprint Clearance card this year as part of your volunteer approval, Great Hearts still requires you to complete a new Raptor application annually based on your application expiration date. If necessary, your Fingerprint Clearance card information may be used to support approval of future applications through the card’s expiration date.



Please direct any questions regarding the volunteer process, or your specific application, to volunteerclearance@greathearts.org.

Communication Updates

Latest News image.png

School Messenger Communication

Great Hearts and Archway Trivium continue to utilize the system School Messenger for emails, robo-calls, and text messaging to inform families of campus related academy emergencies and other communications. SchoolMessenger has a new automatic opt-in for text feature. During the registration/re-enrollment process families confirmed their wish to participate in text communications. Great Hearts will now automatically opt in contact information given during the registration/re-enrollment process with the options you selected. You will notice at the beginning of July you will be opted in for text messaging. If you would like to opt out of text messages simply reply STOP to the text from 67585. You can also enter the code 67585 with the message STOP to block any text messaging. Please note, if opting out, you will not receive texts regarding emergencies on campus.


Email Communications

If you know of parents who are not receiving these communications, please ask them to check their junk/promotions email folders, and then email bmcdonald@archwaytrivium.org for assistance. 


You can also find all school-wide communications on our website on the Latest News page.
