A Message from Headmaster Scott
Dear Archway Trivium West Families,
I wore a tie this week that has the preamble to the constitution printed in flowery cursive writing. I like that tie. My attention was drawn to a particular phrase—“in order to form a more perfect Union.” The implication in the word “form” is that a “more perfect Union” does not happen by chance. At lease in the case of our founding fathers, the union was well thought out and intentional in its creation. To say that building a relationship requires work is trite. The envisioned Union of our founders was higher in virtue, deeper in substance and longer lasting. It is this type of Union that we wish to establish at Trivium. To form a union is an act of creation, and I would even extend and say it is an act of constant creation. We must continually work to form our union and we do so in a plethora of ways. Thank you for all the ways you work to create and maintain a mor perfect union among the Trivium community.
Heartily Devoted,
Dr. Clay Scott
Headmaster
Archway Trivium West
Student Pledge Leaders: Chris N., Olivia M., Karlina D

Expectations for a Library Volunteer are helping the scholars find/choose a book, keeping them on task so their classmates also have time to choose and making sure the scholars check out at the computer with the librarian before returning to their seat. All Archway Trivium West volunteers must have Raptor clearance before volunteering on campus.

Important Safety Reminders for Student Pick-up | |
As a reminder, picking up students from the Lifetime Fitness parking lot after school is NOT permitted. Students entering the Lifetime parking lot after school is dangerous and a safety issue. Lifetime is a private business and we want to be good neighbors. Please plan to use the school's published pick-up procedures for the safety of all. Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you for your patience and caution during student drop-off and pick-up. The safety of our students and staff is of the utmost importance.
As a reminder, to minimize the backup of traffic on Encanto/Bullard before the end of the school day, we are closing the Encanto entrance to our school parking lot from 2:35-3:00pm. Goodyear Police will be monitoring traffic on Encanto and Bullard during this time, and if you are stopped on one of these roads waiting to enter campus, you may be ticketed.
On Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday, families who are picking up Archway-only students should arrive to campus AFTER 3:10 PM. Families picking up both Archway and Prep students, please remind your Prep students to arrive to the pick-up zone promptly.
On Wednesdays, families picking up BOTH Archway and Prep students are asked to arrive AFTER 1:40 PM. On Wednesdays, families picking up Archway-only should arrive at 1:25PM.
Parents picking up Archway students from school MUST use the Archway pickup line. Prep students picking up Archway students to meet a parent driver may NOT load into a car in the Prep pick-up line or on Palm Lane. The entrance/exit to our parking lot from Encanto Blvd is right turn only.
