IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR PARENTS
|
|
As you are likely aware, the situation in the US regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) is ever evolving. The recent news of cases in Seattle schools has given us all pause.
As always, Trinity High School is working for the best interest of the students we serve. We wanted you to know that our teachers have been working on virtual classroom applications (e-learning) in order to minimize any disruption to the education of your daughters. This practical exercise has begun in the event of a weather disruption, but will certainly be useful in many situations.
In the meantime, the most effective way to stay healthy and minimize the spread of infectious disease is to follow basic health best practices like:
- Enforcing great hygiene, like washing hands thoroughly and covering up coughs/sneezes
- Asking all faculty, staff, and students who are feeling ill to stay home until they recover.
It is important to remember that handling the spread of a serious contagion like the coronavirus is primarily a task for public health agencies. Trinity High School will look to the CDC or local governmental organizations to inform our policies and procedures. We are monitoring new developments and will continue to reevaluate our steps and actions daily and will communicate any necessary news to you promptly.
Please keep those who are suffering in your prayers.

Author Diana Kapp Speaks at Trinity
|
In celebration of Women’s History Month, Diana Kapp, author of “Girls Who Run the World: 31 CEOs Who Mean Business” will discuss her newly released book with the Trinity community.
Join us!
Tuesday, March 3rd
from 9:45 AM – 10:45 AM.
Diana Kapp wanted to provide her daughter and girls around the world with role models and pioneering women of this age. She wanted to show girls that they belong in leadership positions, inventing, creating, and founding companies. When writing the book, Diana chose the CEOs so every different type of girl was able to find herself in the stories she wrote. She “picked artists, chemists and engineers; mediocre and A students; immigrant stories; women who didn’t even attend college, plus pedigreed types with degrees.” This book highlights “the amazing risk-taking women CEOs who got it done - even when all they heard was “nos” or they felt like they were in a room that they didn’t belong in.”
