Trimmier Parent Newsletter
March 2023
From Mrs. Avery
Trimmier family,
The countdown has begun with only 10 school days till Spring Break. This month we end the 3rd grading period when we leave for Spring Break and begin the last grading period when we return. The school year is moving fast and we still have lots of learning to accomplish.
Next week we celebrate Read Across America. Ms. Sasscer, our amazing librarian, has created a fun week of reading opportunities. Please see the flyer below. We also have our Spring Pictures this week. Order forms for online ordering is also below.
I want to end with a reminder about morning drop off. Please remember to be safe and courteous when in the drop off lanes. If you are wanting to walk your student to the door, please drive to the front parking lot and walk them up there. Our arrival procedures are detailed below. Thank you in advance for your help in keeping all our students safe during arrival.
We are looking forward to another great month of learning. And as always, thank you for your continued support!
Mrs. Avery
