A Note from Dr. Scott

Dear Archway Trivium families,

Aristotle believed that to truly be a friend, one had to first become a virtuous person. The logic is fairly simple. A friend is one who desires good for another and has the ability to provide it. A bad person would be limited in their capacity to do good for others, and likely would have difficulty in desiring good. But wait! People are not easily categorized as good or bad. We all have both within us. This is why we need to learn to think and reason well, and above all else, we need to cultivate humility. A challenging course of study in the liberal arts provides the skill and habits needed to grow in virtue. We pride ourselves on the friendship we enjoy on our campus, and we are right to do so. We also need to remember that it is our shared pursuit and engagement with challenging work that unites us. As this year winds to a close, I wish to express my appreciation for being able to share in that pursuit with all our faculty, staff, students, and families. Thank you!

Heartily Devoted,

Dr. Clay Scott

Headmaster

Reminder: No Student Drop-off/Pick-up from Neighboring Businesses

With the expansion of Archway and addition of the new building, there are significant changes to the traffic flow for the upcoming school year. Please carefully review the new Archway Traffic Flow for Student Drop-off and Pick-up and reach out with any questions. Taking the time to understand these procedures will help to ensure the safety of our students/staff and a smooth traffic flow. 

Carpooling Update: Our east side pick-up lane has had a faster track and will now be our designated carpool lane. 

If you have 2 or more Archway ONLY pick-up cards, you will be guided into this fast-track lane for a faster pick-up. Please be sure to have your pick-up cards ready to show our traffic controllers that you are carpooling so they can guide you to the appropriate lane. To maintain the flow of pick-up, others may be directed to the fast-track lane, but carpools will be given priority. Please do not enter the carpool lanes until you are directed to do so.

As a reminder, if you are picking up Middle School students DO NOT ARRIVE to campus before 3:15 PM. This creates significant delays. If you arrive before 3:15, we will ask you to go back into our pick-up lanes and try again. 

Please follow the link below to review the DETAILED Archway Traffic Flow Plan and be sure to share this link with anyone authorized to drop-off/pick-up your children.

*View the DETAILED Archway Traffic Flow Procedures*

We are looking forward to welcoming volunteers back to campus this year! All Archway Trivium volunteers must have Raptor clearance before volunteering on campus. Raptor clearance must be renewed annually, so if you were cleared last year, you must complete the clearance process again for the 2022-23 school year.

Additionally, volunteers must complete a school-specific one-time-only Mandatory Volunteer Training.

Follow the link below to complete your Raptor clearance. The cost is $5 and it only takes a few minutes.
