As the warmer weather draws near and daylight hours increase, please be mindful that the majority of IEYMS and a large portion of Trinity students walk to and from school. While we do stagger dismissal, students tend to walk Centre Avenue and adjacent streets in groups. Please be mindful to reduce traveling speeds and watch out for children.
To support our students who observe Ramadan, we have established alternative locations for those students who do not want to be in the cafeteria during lunch. Students may go to the library or the auditorium. Students may also use the time to attend extra help. Parents, please contact the principal's office if you have additional questions about alternative lunch locations.
Spring sports begin Tuesday, March 28th. All students who are interested in trying out for spring teams must sign up through FamilyID. FamilyID is open. Students must register in advance. Please click on the link below for FamilyID.
