Week of October 24, 2022
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.
A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL PERKINS
6 Days Left in Quarter 1
Good evening Family,
I hope everyone had a great and productive weekend and are getting in these last days of good weather.
This is the last full week of quarter 1. Scholars have until Tuesday to complete any late or missing assignments. Please encourage your scholars get their work in. Tuesday is the deadline and no work will be accepted after. Teachers need time to check and input final grades!
Our Harvest Fest is this Thursday at 4:00-5:30 pm. Scholars may wear their costumes to the Harvest Fest AFTER SCHOOL on Thursday. Children will be allowed to wear their costumes TO SCHOOL on Monday, October 31st. Your child’s safety is our first concern. We ask that you guide their selection of costumes and accessories in a manner that will allow them to comfortably work and learn throughout the day, as well as be able to independently use the restroom. In addition, any items that encourage violence are inappropriate for children at school. Also, children will not be allowed to bring toy guns, swords, pitchforks, or other toy weapons. Scholars are not to wear masks, clown suits, or paint their face.
Let's have a great and productive week!!!
Ms. Perkins
