Greetings!
As we prepare for our final week before the Thanksgiving Holidays, I'd like to take a moment and express my thanks to you, the Trickum Community, for being such a wonderful, supporting community of learning. Our students work hard and achieve much and it is begins with you. Thank you for your support.
This week we celebrate American Education Week. This week we take time to celebrate public education and honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education. Please take a moment to thank those at Trickum and elsewhere this week.
Basketball continues this week with games on Thursday at Parkview versus Five Forks. The girls tip off at 5pm with the boys to follow. Please continue to come out and support our basketball teams and cheerleading squad this season.

This week is American Education Week! Today, as part of the celebration, we would like to welcome our Principal For A Day, Mr. Brandon Hartley. He is a Trickum Tiger Alum (1986-1989) and a Parkview Graduate (1993), and he currently works for AT&T as a Regional Director of External Affairs. Please help us welcome him today as you see him around the building!

Parents: Please take the time to set up a MyPaymentsPlus account for your student. It is a very important tool to have during the school year. The features include Meals & AutoPay, Student Account Management, Products & Events and Digital Forms. Not only will you be able to add money to the account for your child's lunch, but you can also pay for special activities during the year and also take care of signing documents and forms directly online.
If you have not done so, please complete all orientation agreements in MyPaymentsPlus. These agreements are MANDATORY and must be completed immediately. Please click on the link below to sign up!
|
|
Keep an eye on your account!
|
Don't forget to keep an eye on your child's breakfast/lunch account over at
MyPaymentsPlus. You can make life easier by setting up alerts when the balance runs low. Just look for the "Low Balance Notification" box, towards the top of the screen.
MPP also has a neat feature where you can use the "Auto Pay" button to automatically add a dollar amount of your choosing when your balance gets low.
