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.

Message from Principal Perkins
Good evening Trix Families,
WOW!!! The holiday break is just 4 days away! Reminder there is NO school for scholars on Friday, December 23rd, STAFF ONLY. We are excited to end 2022 knowing that our scholars are on the track to unprecedented academic growth! Scholars and staff are working hard to gain mastery in their core standards and we are asking parents to continue to work with us through 2023. We are sending home holiday work for scholars to use as practice over the holiday. Please allow for your scholar to complete one math and one reading activity per day. It should take them 30-45min or less to complete. We want to keep their brains active and engaged, but not take a lot of time from their vacation. We understand how important this break is and we want to them enjoy it.
Please get some rest and enjoy your time with friends and family. We are excited about 2023 and what is to come for all our scholars. Happy Holidays and have a wonderful New Year!
Ms. Perkins
A Message from Dean Hayes
As the winter break approaches, I’d like to wish you and your family a happy and safe holiday break. While on winter break, reflect on the year, both good and bad and focus on the year ahead. Focus on what was good about the school year and what went wrong. Encourage your student to return to school next year with the mindset of making good choices and demonstrating positive behaviors.
Happy Holidays!!!!
