NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
1st Quarter Parent/Teacher Conferences: The schedule for our upcoming Parent/Teacher Conferences came home and was emailed last week. Conferences are being held on this Tueday, Wednesday and Thursday, October 29-31. Please note your scheduled time. If for any reason you are unable to make your conference, please contact your child’s teacher.
Report Cards: Report cards come home today (Tuesday for 3K). We ask that you look them over before attending your Parent/Teacher Conference later this week. As always, if you have any questions or concerns about your child's education at Trinity, please contact their teacher.
Report Card Envelopes: After you have looked over your child's report card, we ask that you sign the envelope it came in and return it to school. These will be used for following report cards. You may bring it when you come for your scheduled parent/teacher conference or you may have your child bring it back to school. We do ask that these are returned in a timely manner.
Singing for Worship: Please note that there has been a date change for when the students will sing in church in November. They will be singing on Sunday, November 10 (changed from the 17th). Please make note of this change on your calendar.
Fall Speaker Event!: Trinity will be holding a Fall Speaker Event on Thursday, November 14. The presenter will be from the Aspirus Tick-Borne Illness Center. Since our area has a plethera of ticks, this is an opportunity to learn more about the center in our area. Dinner and childcare will be provided. A registration already came home. You may also download the one attached and return it to the school office.
No Bus Service: Please note that our students will not have bus services on Friday, November 1.
Church Attendance: Every week, church attendance will be taken in kindergarten through 8th grade. Its intent is to encourage an active worship life in our school families. Please make weekly worship the highlight of your week.
Sunday School and Bible Class: Each Sunday following our 9:00 am worship service (10:30 am). Sunday School is for students in preschool through 4th grade. Bible Class is for 5th-8th grade, high school students, and adults. All are welcome to attend!
Midweek Chapel: Each Wednesday (8:15 am) throughout the school year, Trinity conducts a midweek chapel service. We encourage and invite all of our preschool and K-8 parents and families to join the students for this 15-20 minute service each week. This year’s chapels will center around the theme “Connected to Christ”. Our chapel offerings will be given to the Military Services Committee. This committee provides face to face ministry to WELS military personnel serving in the United States and Europe. They also provide resources for those serving on ships or deployed somewhere else in the world. To date, we have collected $172.42 for this ministry.
Lost and Found: If your student misplaces an item during the school year, be sure to check the lost and found shelf outside the office.
School Absences: If your student will not be in school on a given day due to illness, please either call the school office to leave a message or contact your student’s teacher directly. Only parents can excuse an absence; siblings cannot. A Notice of Absence sheet (available in the school office or online) needs to be filled out when an absence is preplanned. It should be returned to your student’s teacher prior to the absence. Thanks for your cooperation!
