2022-2023 School wide Goals
- 10% Growth on ELA AND MATH on State Assessments - MSTEP.
- 60% of scholars will meet their yearly NWEA Growth Target in ELA and Math.
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.
21 Days Left in Quarter 2
Thank you Mr. Phalen for all you do for scholars all over the nation!
Message from Principal Perkins
Good evening Trix Families,
I want to take a moment to thank all the families that attended Parent-Teacher-Conferences last week. As long as we are working as one for the benefit of our scholars, they will never lose. Let continue the momentum for the next 5 weeks of instruction as well look to closing out Semester 1 and Quarter 2 on January 30, 2023.
I want to also remind parents of the dangers of social media this evening. Many of our scholars are using social media with limited monitoring. Below are two articles I would like you to take a moment to read. One is about a tragic incident that happened when a young person's social media usage was not monitored. The second article is tips we as parents must keep in mind to keep our scholars safe online. Please continue to keep the school posted if you see or hear of any issues that we need to be made aware of when monitoring our scholars' usage.
Enjoy the reminders of your evening.
Let's Win the Day!!!
Ms. Perkins
