A Message from Headmaster Scott
Dear Archway Trivium West Families,
Rembrandt painted The Storm on the Sea of Galilee in 1633. Unfortunately, its fame may be more connected to its inclusion, along with 12 other pieces, in one of the greatest art heists in known history. I like this piece for a number of reasons, but one of the major reasons is the characters. I think, at any point in our lives, we can relate to one of the men on that boat. We would obviously prefer to remain in the calm stern of the boat, but that is not always possible. Often, we are more like the struggling fellows at the bow. Wherever you are today, know that peace is available, even on a stormy sea.
Heartily Devoted,
Dr. Clay Scott
Headmaster

Re-Enrollment Steps:
-
On Monday, March 14, Great Hearts will send an email with the re-enrollment instructions. It will instruct you to log on to the enrollment Parent Portal, fill out the electronic re-enrollment packet for each of your students. This will include updating important contacts, residing address and/or medical information for your child.

Thank you for your patience and caution during student drop-off and pick-up. The safety of our students and staff is of the utmost importance.
As a reminder, to minimize the backup of traffic on Encanto/Bullard before the end of the school day, we are closing the Encanto entrance to our school parking lot from 2:35-3:00pm. Goodyear Police will be monitoring traffic on Encanto and Bullard during this time, and if you are stopped on one of these roads waiting to enter campus, you may be ticketed.
On Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday, families who are picking up Archway-only students should arrive to campus AFTER 3:10 PM. Families picking up both Archway and Prep students, please remind your Prep students to arrive to the pick-up zone promptly.
On Wednesdays, families picking up BOTH Archway and Prep students are asked to arrive AFTER 1:40 PM. On Wednesdays, families picking up Archway-only should arrive at 1:25PM.
Parents picking up Archway students from school MUST use the Archway pickup line. Prep students picking up Archway students to meet a parent driver may NOT load into a car in the Prep pick-up line or on Palm Lane. The entrance/exit to our parking lot from Encanto Blvd is right turn only.
