Welcome to Monday Mail!
From the Principal
Greetings!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Tiger Tie Dye Color Run fundraiser for PTSA. It was another wonderful day and a great success for the PTSA and Trickum.

We are happy to announce that Trickum once again received a 5-Star Climate Rating from the GADOE as a part of the annual CCRPI report. Trickum has received this high distinction each year of the climate rating. We are very proud of our school and our community as this rating is a compilation of survey results from students, parents and faculty as well as discipline and attendance data.

As a part of next year's rating data collection, there are two surveys out for parents to provide feedback on Trickum. One at the state level via this website and one at the local level which can be found on a popup as you enter the Parent Portal. I encourage everyone to take a moment and provide feedback on both of these surveys.

Basketball season starts this week with opening home games on Thursday at Parkview and our annual pep rally on Friday during connections. Please come out and support our basketball teams and cheerleading squad this season.

H ave you signed up for the Parent Portal?
GCPS’ Parent Portal serves as a valuable tool and resource for information about your child and his or her academic career. In order to update your parent contact information and other critical school information, you will need a parent portal account. If you have not requested a parent portal account, please do so using the attached form. Bring the completed form to school with your ID to verify your identity and complete the process. 
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.
