A New Beginning
By: Sarah Wang, 8th Grade, Student Writer
Welcome back Trickum Tigers! The 2021-2022 school year has just begun with all students in the building starting this week. I am extremely excited and looking forward to meeting new people and learning more! Online school wasn’t bad, but I definitely enjoy in-person better. We can do interactive projects and more activities in general when actually going to school. This year isn’t going to be the same as every other year, but that’s ok. Parents, students, and teachers: DON’T worry! Let’s try to have fun and enjoy this year. It’s been tough on everyone, but let's look forward to this year! I am intrigued and interested as to what this year will bring, and I hope you are too!

Student Data Validation/Change Process |
The Student Data Validation/Change Process is online via the ParentVue Update Student Information tab within the Parent Portal. To ensure receipt of all school information updates, it is important that all information is reviewed and updated annually.

The information provided here is our primary emergency contact information, and it is crucial that we get accurate parent/guardian telephone numbers and addresses. |
