Are you interested in learning more about computer science? The "Girls Who Code" club is on a mission to close the gender gap in technology and to change the image of what a programmer looks like and does. "Girls Who Code" is open to all girls in grades 6-8 who are interested in learning more about technology, computers and coding. No computer experience is required. If you are interested in joining this club, fill out the interest survey located on the Trickum Middle School website, under for students, extracurricular activities, clubs and organizations.  Please email Ms. Killian if you have any questions.

A friendly reminder that students may not bring in or receive outside food such as fast food or restaurant items.

The latest a student may be checked out is 3:30 pm. A picture ID will be required. If someone else is picking up your child, please check the parent portal to ensure that person is listed.
