Trix Family News
Week of October 3, 2022
2022-2023 School wide Goals
10% Growth on ELA AND MATH on State Assessments - MSTEP
90% SCHOLAR PERSISTENCE -It is important that our scholars stay with Trix Academy in order to see the Academic Growth they need to be High School Ready!
90% STAFF RETENTION - Keeping our staff in place year after year also ensures that not only are relationships built with our scholars and families, mastery in instruction is also taking place.
95% AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE - Scholars have to be in the building daily in order to learn. We want to build and foster a community of learning that values daily attendance.
A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL PERKINS
17 Days Left in Quarter 1
Good evening Trix Team,
I want to thank everyone who participated in Parent Teacher Conferences last week.Your presence is important and we thank your for working with our staff to ensure scholars are on track. Scholars have until October 31st to increase any failing or low grades. We anticipate scholars working hard and ending quarter 1 strong.
Spirit week is this week. Please see the flyer below that outlines the themes for each day. Let's make it a fun week!
Count Day is Wednesday, October 5th! It is important for all scholars to be in attendance the entire school day for the day to count. 3 gift cards will be raffled off. Scholars must be in attendance to participate in the raffle.
NWEA Make Up assessments run Monday - Thursday of this week. If your scholar missed their Fall Reading or Math Assessment, please make sure they are in attendance for make ups.
Let's WIN the WEEK!!
See you in the AM.
Ms. Perkins
Message from Dean Hayes
The weather is changing and scholars will either wear sweaters or long sleeve shirts. Please make sure that your scholar wears a black, non-hooded uniform sweater and/or if they are wearing a long sleeve shirt underneath, it should be black or white. No colored or striped shirts allowed.
Also, please speak with your scholar about being kind and not being physical with their classmates or friends at school. We are focusing on promoting a culture of kindness and respect towards everyone.
