Trix Family News
Week of January 24, 2022
Message from Principal Perkins
Good evening Trix Families,
We are so excited to have our scholars back in the building tomorrow Monday, January 24, 2022. The past two weeks of Hybrid Learning was successful for our scholars but nothing beats having them in person with the wonderful teachers and staff of Trix Academy.
Doors will open promptly at 8:05am for breakfast and scholars will be released for class at 8:25am. Please ensure your scholars are on time and ready to begin the day. We look forward to seeing each and every smiling face tomorrow!!!
Parents, it is imperative for all scholars to return their iPads/chrome books and chargers tomorrow. Scholars who return all technology equipment in good condition, will receive a special reward during lunch on Monday. Also, our scholars use their chrome books to support in class instruction daily. Any missed iPads/chrome books will have a huge impact on your scholars day to day lessons and would disrupt their ability to complete any online assignments given in class. We also use this technology to support our school wide testing, such as NWEA, MSTEP and all interim assessments. So it is very important for all technology to be returned!
Please make sure iPads/chrome books are charged this evening and ready to go for NWEA Testing tomorrow.
Lastly, quarter 2 ends on Friday, January 28th and teacher grade books close. Make sure to check your scholars grades and encourage them to turn in any late work before the quarter ends.
Let's finish the quarter strong and make it an awesome week!!
Sincerely,
Ms. L. Perkins, M.Ed
