FACULTY CHANGES

Please join us in wishing our departing faculty the very best as they begin a new chapters in their lives. Mrs. Dorie DiSipio will be returning to St. Louis with her husband as he begins graduate studies at Washington University. Mr. Jacob Graudin will be supporting his wife as she completes her graduate studies at the University of Notre Dame. Dr. Justus Hibshman decided to step down from his teaching responsibilities at Trinity, but will continue coaching our extracurricular robotics team. Mr. Luke Reifenberg will begin graduate studies at Columbia University in New York. 

We will welcome three new members of faculty this fall. Mr. Tristan Dooley just finished his graduate training with the University of Notre Dame's Alliance of Catholic Education program and holds a bachelor of arts in math from the University of Notre Dame. Ms. Elizabeth Grams is a Trinity School at River Ridge alumna who has a bachelor of arts in music from the University of Notre Dame. Mr. Justin Lee (no relation to Mr. John Lee, head of school) graduated from Hillsdale College with a bachelor of arts in philosophy and helped lead Hillsdale's mock trial team to second place in the national competition this past year.

We are grateful for all the work Mrs. Chelsea Mertz did with the girls during the past two years in her role as dean of girls. Mrs. Mertz will be teaching full-time next year, and Mrs. Alyson Greene will serve as dean of girls.

2024-2025 SCHOOL SUPPLY LIST

Here is the list of school supplies your child will need for the 2024-25 school year. If you have any questions about the supply list, please email tsgloffice@trinityschools.org.

2024-2025 VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Trinity uses SignUpGenius to share and organize parent volunteer needs each school year. We will send the 2024-2025 SignUpGenius list on Monday, July 8.

SCHOOL UNIFORM INFORMATION

Trinity's uniform guidelines can be found here. Our uniform supplier is Tommy Hilfiger. To purchase new uniform pieces, visit this webpage and search for Trinity School at Greenlawn to go to our online uniform store. Please keep in mind that the turnaround time for orders from Tommy Hilfiger can be slow. We encourage you to order early to ensure that your child's uniform is ready in time for All-school Orientation on August 20.

As in past years, used uniforms will be available on campus during office hours starting July 1. Stop by the front office during that time to look through the collection of free items.

CHOIR UNIFORM INFORMATION

Ninth and tenth-grade students, as well as juniors and seniors who are in Chamber Choir, will require specific uniforms for choir performances throughout the school year (black dresses for girls; formal outfits for boys).

Girls wear the Angelina gown in black, item #115 (or #115Y if ordering a youth size). Please use the size chart on the website to help you choose a size. As this dress runs long, this dress may need to be hemmed so that it falls between ankle and floor length. Girls may wear black or neutral flats or heels.

Boys wear the Vincent shirt and pants, Black #6701. This set includes a shirt, tie and trousers. You have the option to order boys’ items a la carte if necessary. The tie is style #900 (color is hunter green), the pants are #3024P and the Laydown Collar Non-Pleated shirt is #M03 (color is black). The pants will arrive un-hemmed. Boys wear black shoes.

These uniforms are available to purchase online through Cousins Concert Attire and are identical to what students have worn in previous years, so please feel free to obtain hand-me-down pieces from former Trinity students.

STUDENT DRIVER INFORMATION

If your child is planning to drive to school in the 2024-2025 school year, please fill out the Student Driver Form linked below. This year's form is required for both repeat and first-time student drivers.

REGISTERING FOR FALL SPORTS

If your child plans to participate in a fall sport (e.g., soccer, cross country, or high school girls golf), please remember to register through FinalForms and upload a PDF of a sports physical signed by a physician. (As a reminder, the front office no longer accepts physical copies of athletic forms.) Students who have not completed the online registration process will not be able to participate in practices or games.

To get started in FinalForms, visit trinitygreenlawn-in.finalforms.com and follow the prompts. If you have any questions about fall sports or how to register, please reach out to Kathy Klimek, athletic director, at kklimek@trinityschools.org.

FINE ARTS NIGHT ON YOUTUBE

A recording of the choir concert and poetry readings performed during Fine Arts Night in May is now available to watch on Trinity's YouTube channel.
