Hello Trix Families,
LiveSchool is our behavior management system that is used to monitor and track scholar behavior, both negative and positive. Scholars can earn prizes, parties and trips for positive behavior. Please look for your parent information to come home this week so that you can access your scholars account. This will allow you to stay on top of your child's behavior. If you have any questions regarding LiveSchool, please contact Ms.Hayes at (313)426-1020.
Ms. Smith's Operational Rundown
Operations Manager
Hello Trix Families!
What an exciting and wonderful first be back! We were excited to see all of our old and new faces. We are looking forward to seeing everyone back this week.
Here are a few operational reminders:
Office Hours: Monday- Friday, 8am - 4pm
ARRIVAL
Scholars may enter the main entrance of the building at 7:45 am each morning. Scholars will enter the building and wait in the lunchroom with the supervision of a Trix Staff member. Breakfast will begin at this time. Our instructional day begins at 8:05. We will have a building wide morning meeting each morning during breakfast, then scholars will move immediately to their classroom instruction starting promptly at 8:20 am.
DISMISSAL
Dismissal starts at 3:30 pm. Early pick-ups hinder your scholar’s academic progression because they will miss important instruction. Parents are welcome to start pulling up to the Trix Academy Pick-up Sign (In GREEN), located at the corner of Fairmont and Fairport. You will give the name and grade of your scholar to the Trix Staff Members in the front. We will radio the scholar’s name(s) for pick up.
Scholars will be released to the parents in the pick-up line at 3:30 pm. Walkers will be released at 3:35 pm.
