Recently, we have noticed that the Faculty/Staff and Student parking lot has become extremely congested during morning arrival and drop-off times. The parking lot is for Holy Trinity employees and students who drive themselves to school ONLY, unless parents/family members are visiting HT for a specific reason (e.g., meeting, volunteering, supply drop-off, etc.). For the safety of our students and staff, please do not use the parking lot as a drop-off point for students. All student drop-offs should be done in the carline at all times.

SPOTS STILL OPEN FOR LONDON 2023 TRIP...
A LETTER FROM MRS. WACASTER
|
|
Hello!
It was so nice seeing some of you Wednesday night to talk about our 2023 travel program to London! I am super passionate about providing these incredible opportunities for our students to experience the Arts and all that they learn about and study in class. It is so important and there is nothing like seeing it all right in front you!
Our enrollment window has opened. As you may have already heard, we went through all our spots last night, but the good news is that we have been able to secure 10 more spots before the trip is at full capacity. Based on the meeting attendance and the interest so far, we expect the trip to be completely full before our enrollment window closes next Friday, April 29th at midnight!
CLICK HERE to view the presentation that was shared at Wednesday night's meeting. It includes highlights of the trip plus cost and payment information. More in-depth information is available on the sign-up page.
Please be aware that students will need a passport and it must be valid until at least October 2023 for them to travel. Currently, EF is requiring negative Covid tests within 24 hours of departure to ensure everyone's health.
Also, please look carefully at the insurance options and choose the one that best fits your family's needs. Honestly, this is an expensive trip and the best way to ensure your investment is through an insurance product that allows you to cancel at any time for any reason. You do not have to purchase your insurance through EF. Please be sure that you are aware of all limits of any policy you choose.
I am so excited for this next adventure with you!
Best,
Mrs. Lorie Wacaster
