A Message from the Headmaster

Dear Archway Trivium Families,

This was a different sort of week for me. I had a number of off-campus meetings wherein I was able to see how things are done in other places and adopt some new perspectives. Taking a new perspective on a situation can be both helpful and invigorating. Being able to see all sides of an issue is incredibly hard. It requires you to withhold judgement, question biases, and re-evaluate values. However, it is very worth it. Once the hard work of sorting through all those challenges happens and two people can connect over a difficult matter, the ensuing solution is inevitably better than it otherwise would have been. Value can be added for all involved and the winner/loser dynamic can be avoided. Perhaps even more important, the parties involved come away with an experience that builds trust, which will make future discussion all that much easier. I’ve taken my new perspectives from this week and made a change. My challenge for you is to find an area of your life and do the same—even if it is something minor. Have a great weekend!

Heartily Devoted,

Clay Scott, Ed. D.

Headmaster, Archway Trivium

Student Pledge Leaders: Penny B. Jaxon W., Ethan L., Ashley M., Jennifer P.

Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday - Tuesday, October 14-15. 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 MTK in order to sign-up. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions or for information regarding sign-ups.

Sign up for Parent-Teacher Conferences

K-5 student evaluations for Quarter 1 will be available by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 11 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 11 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 2024-25 school year (example: returning 4th grader but a new kindergartener or new from outside of the Great Hearts network), you will receive an email with their Access ID and Password information to add them to your existing account by Wednesday, September 25.
• 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.

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.
