Hello, Trident Academy Family. Here is your news!

Weekly Updates

Head of School Five more days! It's really impossible that the end of our first semester is looming so close! Teachers are busy preparing reports and getting grades into RenWeb. By the end of next week, you will have LEAD reports and report cards in your inboxes! For those who missed today's science fair...what a marvelous time it was! Students worked hard on creating their experiments and they were proud to tell everyone about their results. Our lower school students had the opportunity to see them and rate them. It was amazing to watch our littlest students so seriously rating the projects. The blending of ages was a beautiful sight to behold! Next week is a full week at Trident Academy. There are several field trips planned and some holiday festivities, but for the most part, school will continue as always. LEAD classes, ELA, math, etc. will go on all week. I fully expect students to conduct themselves well and to continue learning until 11:30 on Friday!  Take care this weekend and try to stay dry! Betsy
