Week of January 10, 2022
Message from Principal Perkins
Good evening Trix Families,
I hope everyone had a safe and productive weekend. Tomorrow begins our Hybrid Learning Model for Trix Academy Scholars. I want to thank the parents who came to collect their scholars technology on Friday. I appreciate you patience as we work together to make decisions that are best for our scholars.
Our goal with this Hybrid Virtual Learning Model is to give some comfort to the large number of parents who have expressed their concerns on bringing their scholars to school because of Covid numbers, while still allowing parents who want their scholars in school, needs met as well.
As stated Monday, January 10, 2022 through Friday, January 14, 2022 all scholars will participate in virtual learning. Parents who signed up for their scholars to participate in virtual learning in the building should arrive to school by 8:05am. Breakfast will be served for those scholars and they will log in by 8:30am. Parents must show proof of a negative covid test when scholars arrive on Monday. Accepted proof will include hard copy forms, emails, or screen shots with date of test and scholars name from testing sites.
If you have not picked up your scholars technology please do so so tomorrow anytime after 9:30am.
MLK Day will be recognized on Monday, January 17, 2022. There will be no virtual instruction taking place and school will be closed. Scholars will return to in-person face to face instruction on Tuesday, January 18, 2022. Below are some free testing site in the area:
Center for Covid Testing just add your zip code for the closet testing center.
In addition, we are going to continue to support our at home scholars with our supplemental food program. Food distribution will take place on Wednesday, January 12th from 1pm-3pm. Please contact the school prior so we can have your box ready. All food bundles include both breakfast and lunch for five days.
I will send communication out on this Friday, January 14th, to give parents an update on where we are and if any additional changes need to be made.
Let's make it a GREAT WEEK!!!
Ms. Perkins
