Trix Family Press

Dear Trix Families,

We now have the first week of school in the books! It has been a great week. We saw over 150 smiling faces this week and we are excited to see our remaining scholars return this week as instruction has already begun!

This year we will be intentional about having our scholars in school everyday! If there is anything that feel is in the way of getting your scholar to school each day, please let me know. We have so much to planned for this school year. Everyday of attendance matters as we are hitting the ground running with instruction!

Here are a few reminders:

Doors will open for scholars to have breakfast at 7:45. Our instructional day begins at 8:05 with our daily morning meeting.

All scholars will be dismissed from outside this year, weather permitting.

Students are expected to be in the appropriate uniform for their grade level. If you are unsure about your scholar's uniform color, please be sure to click the link for the Family Welcome Packet below .

Hello Trix Families!

My goals are to help scholars develop powerful skills and a strong character to lead successful and fulfilling lives. I also want to ensure that teachers feel supported and have opportunities to grow as professionals so that they can help our scholars soar. I am excited to bring our scholars, families, staff, and stakeholders together to build a flourishing community.

Trix Academy is working hard to make this the best school year ever for your scholars!
