Warmest Regards and Go Knights!

Traffic Flow for Student Drop-off and Pick-up

Before Student Orientation, please review the Traffic Flow Procedures for Student Drop-off/Pick-up and talk to your students about how pick-up will work for your family before the first day of school. The safety of your children is our top priority and we thank you for partnering with us to make our pick-up safe and support traffic flow.

If you have Archway Trivium K-5 students that you are transporting to/from campus along with your Trivium Prep students, you will drop-off/pick-up Prep students from the Archway traffic lanes. Please refer to the Archway Traffic Flow/Drop-off & Pick-up procedures for additional information that may apply to your family.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS: When you reach the Prep Drop-off/Pick-up Zone on the south side of campus, please ONLY stop your car for drop-off/pick-up of students in the outer two lanes. ALWAYS leave the center lane clear for cars to exit campus, once they have picked up students. Students should remain in your vehicle along the west side of campus (by the front office), and wait until they reach the Prep Drop-off/Pick-up Zone on the south side to exit the vehicle.

Students being dropped of in the right-hand lane must use the crosswalk to reach the sidewalk. Please use caution at all times when entering/exiting campus.

2026-2027 Asthma, Allergy, and Seizure Action Plans

Action plans and medication consent forms must be renewed each school year. Please visit the Great Hearts Arizona Health Office website for 2026-2027 documents to provide to your scholar's health care provider. All emergency medications must accompany an action plan. There will be an opportunity during Student Orientation to turn these in to the Health Office.

6^th Grade Immunization Requirements

Parents of Rising 6^th Graders:

Your child has had/or is about to have their 11th birthday, and we wanted to remind you of an important requirement in accordance with Arizona State Law (A.R.S 15-872). All students must provide proof of immunizations or a valid exemption to attend school.

It is mandatory for all students who turn 11 to receive the Meningococcal and Tdap immunizations. The Meningococcal vaccine protects against the meningitis bacteria, while the Tdap vaccine safeguards against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough).

Please schedule an appointment with your child's pediatrician during their 11th year and provide the school with an updated copy of their immunization record afterward. It's crucial to note that the State of Arizona has adjusted their compliance rules, and your child will not be compliant once they turn 12. If the school does not have proof of these immunizations or a valid exemption after your child turns 12, they will not be able to attend school per Arizona State Law.

Locks for Student Lockers

Every Trivium Prep student will be issued a combination lock for their locker. This lock remains at school and must be used by all students. Students will be given training on how to use a combination lock at Student Orientation along with time to practice. Locker combinations will be printed on their schedule that they will receive at Student Orientation. School-issued locks must be used; personal locks are prohibited.

Questions can be directed to the Student Deans (Mrs. Brinker, Mr. Hancock or Mrs. Ochoa).

Seeking PSO Board Members and Leads for the 26-27 School Year

We are looking for parents to join our PSO Board or serve as Snack Bar or Teacher Appreciation co-lead next year. This is a great way to get involved in our community. Email our PSO President, Alicia Torres at psopresident@triviumprep.org to learn more! We look forward to hearing from you!
