Optional Early Release on Wednesday, September 18 at 1 PM


In order to provide our people with sufficient time to prepare for the training, we will be opening up the Archway K-5 student pickup lines beginning at 1:00 PM next Wednesday, September 18. We are asking that all families who are able, please pick up their K-5 scholars between 1:00 and 1:30 pm next Wednesday. We understand that this will not be possible for all, so parents will still be welcome to come at the standard time.


Students enrolled in after-school Wednesday clubs do not need to be picked up early next Wednesday, September 18. They will remain on campus and be transitioned to their club by staff members, as usual, and parents should pick them up at the normal club dismissal time.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

At Great Hearts, we are committed to teaching our students to live a life full of truth, beauty, and goodness. As a not-for-profit public, charter school, we receive less funding from the state each year. This deficit is larger than $1,500 per student. Your student's classical liberal arts education is made possible by parents and community members like you who unify us through giving to our Community Investment campaign each year.  We need everyone to participate as every donation regardless of the size goes a long way to keeping our school fully funded.

 

Thank you to every family in our community who has already partnered with us to provide the important work being done in your student's classroom each day.  

 

Let’s rally Unity in our Community with gifts to Community Investment and grow a beautiful culture of generosity for our children together. 

 

Please watch the following video for more information on community investment and set up a one-time or monthly gift at archwaytrivium.org/support.

Communication Updates

Latest News image.png

School Messenger Communication

Great Hearts and Archway Trivium continue to utilize the system School Messenger for emails, robo-calls, and text messaging to inform families of campus related academy emergencies and other communications. SchoolMessenger has a new automatic opt-in for text feature. During the registration/re-enrollment process families confirmed their wish to participate in text communications. Great Hearts will now automatically opt in contact information given during the registration/re-enrollment process with the options you selected. You will notice at the beginning of July you will be opted in for text messaging. If you would like to opt out of text messages simply reply STOP to the text from 67585. You can also enter the code 67585 with the message STOP to block any text messaging. Please note, if opting out, you will not receive texts regarding emergencies on campus.


Email Communications

If you know of parents who are not receiving these communications, please ask them to check their junk/promotions email folders, and then email bmcdonald@archwaytrivium.org for assistance. 


You can also find ALL school-wide communications on our website on the Latest News page.
