G. W. Trenholm Primary School
February 6th-10th
-----------------------------------------------------
Principal's Corner
Parents-
I can not believe that it is already February. We have grown and learned so much this school year and yet, there is still so much more we must accomplish. Thank you for sending your children to G.W. Trenholm prepared and eager to learn. We need and appreciate your support for your child’s education. I repeat this often, but I truly believe that education is the great equalizer. It opens doors for your child’s future and it starts in Pre-K! Please make every effort to have your child at school and on time.
Even though the Groundhog saw his shadow, Spring will be here before we know it. We have a busy Spring ahead. I would like to share a few dates with you. More information will come closer to the event time. .
Mark your calendars…

Picnic on the Playground
We have really missed having parents join us for lunch the past few years. Covid protocols, safety procedures and the number of students we have in our building have restricted the number of guests we can safely and logistically fit into our lunchroom. G.W. Trenholm is at full capacity. We have over 430 students in our building and are running out of space.. This is a wonderful problem to have, but it limits the number of guests we can accommodate. For this reason, this Spring, we would like to invite you on a lunch date. Each grade level will be hosting a Picnic on the Playground. You will be invited to purchase or bring a sack lunch and join us on the playground to eat lunch with your child. Bring a blanket, folding chairs and enjoy lunch with your child.

Morning Drop Off Procedure
Please do not drop off children before 7:15. For the safety of your children, please wait until you see an adult open the school doors to let your children out of the car. Thank you for putting safety first.

All guardians must present a pick up card in order to pick up a student. If the guardian does not have a pick up card, they will be directed to the office and must present an ID and be on the child's approved list.

Please try and schedule appointments after school hours. School attendance is vital for your child's success.
