A Message from the Headmaster
Dear Archway Trivium families,
Today, I invite you to contemplate Hubert Robert’s A Hermit Praying in the Ruins of a Roman Temple. Why is this place, ancient and unkempt, special for the hermit? Why has the world/community allowed the temple to deteriorate? What is he hanging on to that the larger society has let go of (or discarded)? Can he retain that thing alone?
As you think about these questions, you may also consider how a classical education resembles the piety of the hermit. I hope you enjoy the piece and the discussion with your family initiated by examining it together. Have a great weekend!
Heartily devoted,
Clay Scott, Ed.D.
Headmaster

Parent/Teacher Conferences - October 13-14
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday - Tuesday, October 13-14. These evaluation conferences run 15 minutes as you meet with your child's homeroom teachers. You may also sign up to meet with specials teachers during conference week. The evaluation meetings are designed so your child's teacher may further describe their academic performance and discuss any questions you may have. These conferences are for parents/guardians only. Students should not be on campus on conference days.
If you haven't already done so, you will need to create an account in Membership ToolKit (MTK) in order to sign-up. You may need to update your student's grade/homeroom to view this year's sign-ups. Reach out to Lisa Regan at lregan@archwaytrivium.org with MTK questions.
Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions or for information regarding conferences.

Quarter 1 Student Evaluations
K-5 student evaluations for Quarter 1 will be available by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 10 in the Powerschool Parent Portal. We ask that parents please log on to the parent portal before the office closes for fall break to ensure that you are able to access your account to view your child's evaluations. A successful login attempt will result in a message indicating the portal is closed. The portal will remain disabled until evaluations go out. At that time, the portal will be opened temporarily for you to view your students' report card(s). You will be notified by email on October 10 when evaluations are ready to view.
- If your child was a student at Archway Trivium last year, you will use the same login as last year.
- If you have new students for the 2025-26 school year (example: returning 4th grader but a new kindergartener or new from outside of the Great Hearts network), you received an email with their Access ID and Password information to add them to your existing account on Tuesday, September 23.
- If you are new to Archway Trivium this year but attended another Great Hearts school last year, you will still use the same login and password that you used last year.
You can access the Powerschool Parent Portal website here. We have found that using Google Chrome or Firefox as your web browser is best. Please reach out to Stefany Dean at sdean@archwaytrivium.org if you have any questions about your Powerschool Parent Portal account.
