Important Message Regarding Your onCampus Account

Over the course of this school year, IT has worked to migrate all parent accounts to authenticate with Blackbaud ID. This change increases the security of our data, offers self-service password reset via a link on the login screen, and provides the option for single sign-on (SSO) with Google accounts.

Troubleshooting Tips:
  • If you have difficulty logging into your onCampus account, be sure you are using your email address as your username.
  • If you don’t recall your password, use the “Forgotten Password” link on the login page to request a password reset email.
  • Occasionally, caches/cookies on your browser can interfere with the sign in process. We recommend using an InPrivate (Edge) or Incognito (Chrome) browser window to avoid these issues. You can also, if given the option on pop-up window, click “Sign in with another email,” then enter your onCampus email/username.

If you have not yet updated your account by following the steps in the “Connect to Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy” email, your account has been disabled. This step was taken to protect our community’s data. We will gladly reconnect your account at your request. Email us at [email protected], and please be sure to include your name and email address (to be used as your username) in the request.

We greatly appreciate how quickly so many of Holy Trinity’s parents completed this task. As always, feel free to contact us with any account-related questions or issues.

SUMMER SUCCESS PROGRAM

This school year is quickly coming to an end, and we are so proud of our students and their academic growth and development! We hope you all enjoy a summer break full of rest, relaxation and great family fun. However, we know that it is common for students to experience some learning loss over the summer break, and educators often refer to this as the “Summer Slide.” To help our students avoid the Summer Slide, we would like to make you aware of a Summer Success Program available through a company called Connected Class. Participation in the program is not mandatory; we are just providing information on this resource for those families who might find an online summer educational program beneficial for their children. 

There is a small cost to participate and the contractual arrangement is between our families and the company offering the program, Connected Class. Holy Trinity does not realize any financial gain from participation in the program, we simply may ask for your feedback on the product to determine if we would continue to share the resource in the future. 

What does the Summer Success Program include? 
  • One (1) Summer Success Kit, mailed directly to the student at the beginning of summer. The kit includes items used to play Learning Link games/activities and is packaged in a drawstring backpack.
  • Weekly emails sent directly to parents over the 10 weeks of summer with brief videos demonstrating a math and literacy game/activity appropriate for their student's grade level.
  • Ongoing instructional support from Connected Class educators. Parents can reply to emails and ask questions throughout the summer.

To participate in this program, visit https://connectedclass.com/product/learning-link-summer-success-program/ to sign up and purchase your Summer Success Take-Home Kit. All orders must be placed by MAY 20th.

Parents, we are excited to be able to make this opportunity available to you. Thank you for being a part of your child’s educational experience. Your involvement in their education is the difference maker!
Parent Art Docents Needed for the 2022-23 School Year

A Letter from Mrs. Gavrish...

Hello Lower School Parents of 1st-5th Graders,

Next year, I am planning on returning to the Masterpiece of the Month program. This is part of your child’s art curriculum where six times throughout the school year parent volunteers will join their child’s art class to help learn about master artists, their technique, style, and the time period. Together, we will collaborate in allowing students to learn art history through a humanities approach.

Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested in more information or would like to join us for your child’s last art class in May with our former docents.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Fondly,

Nancy Gavrish

LOWER SCHOOL ART CLASSES LOVING NEW SCULPTING PEDESTALS

Kindergarten through sixth grade have been taking full advantage of the sculpting pedestals gifted to the art room by the Lower School PA this year. The pedestals have allowed students to take their 3-D work to a higher level and at the same time has made their work easier. From glazing to building, this gift has helped create beautiful pieces of art! Here, Kindergarten classes use the sculpting pedestals to glaze their clay Teddy Bears.
HONORS BIOLOGY

Students in Mr. Murmer's Honors Biology class got to dissect either a sheep heart or brain for their final lab this week. They are covering function of animal organs where students learn about their anatomical features and how they correspond to their physiological processes. Lessons learned on how things appear, function and work in animals. Looks like they are having fun too!
