General Athletics Information & Questions
Our athletics program as a whole has done more, gone deeper into the playoffs, and been more successful than it ever has been. This is an amazing time to be a part. I know all the girls’ sports are looking to add teams and we need more girls coming out. Remember it is your job to have fun and be coachable and our job to coach you up. So come out, get reps, and be a part of something special. I am looking forward to helping you achieve your goal of being on a team and doing something that HPA has not done before.

Dress Code Reminders
* * Facial piercings are not allowed. Students will be required to remove them.
All students are expected to adhere to the dress code guidelines. Per the Student Handbook, students who are not in dress code will call home. Parents are required to bring the appropriate uniform pieces within one hour. If dress code cannot be corrected, students will be placed in ISS. Repetitive issues will result in OSS.
Please ensure your student is in appropriate dress code each day this includes, but is not limited to:
- No holes in pants/jeans
- Appropriate length skirts/shorts
- No non-uniform piece of clothing at any time (outerwear, hats, sweaters, etc.)
- Correct polos with patches
- Belts/tucked in shirts
Technology Help
We’ve launched a new tool to provide direct tech support assistance to parents. This resource can be found on the Parent Resources page at https://www.trinitybasin.com/parentresources. By clicking on the “Tech Support – Live Chat” icon, it will launch a new IT Tech Support bot geared towards the most common IT issues raised by parents (e.g., Skyward, TBP Mobile App).
This bot will provide parent-specific tech support through a question-and-answer format in both English and Spanish.
Should a parent’s needs exceed the scope of the bot’s current abilities, it will invite the parent to submit a ticket on the issue they’re experiencing. We’ll expand the capabilities of the bot as new issues or resources arise, but this is a first step in providing prompt, targeted support directly to TBP/HPA parents.
