Attendance tribunals are being convened and students/parents with 10 unexcused absences or more will be subject to Texas State truancy laws. Please verify your student's attendance in Skyward. Egregious late arrivals and early dismissals contribute to truancy filings.

If your child is sick or has a doctor's note, you can directly email attendanceHPAUpper@trinitybasin.net. Attendance clerks will then correctly code absences in Skyward.

All students must check into the Front A office if they arrive late to school. Students must have a tardy slip to be admitted to class.

Congratulations to our All-Region Choir members! Eight of our students competed on Friday and, SIX of them are moving on to the next round of competition.

KUDOS to Caleb Bartee AND Mickey Millsap for taking FIRST CHAIR in Tenor and Bass respectively!!!

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.
