Trinity Springs MS Newsletter
May 10, 2022
Dear Titan Families,
In the past weeks we welcomed the incoming 7th graders to our campus at Titan Tours! Our mini-pep rally was amazing! And the tours hosted by our 8th graders reminded us why we will miss them next year. It is crazy to think only 3 weeks remain!
We honored Mrs. Newman as our April Teacher of the month and Ms. Plake as our paraprofessional of the month. These Titans are what TSMS is all about!
We also honored our fabulous administrative professionals. These ladies make our school run! We'd be lost without them! We also welcomed a new registrar to TSMS-- Karen McClay!
Additionally, our wonderful PTA and families celebrates National Teacher Appreciation Week with so many thoughtful gifts, kind cards, and sweet treats this week. Thank you in advance!
Once again, thank you to all our families who filled out our end of year survey.
With Spring in the air, more and more of our students will ride bikes or walk to and from school. Please, honor our drop off and pick up procedures. We want to keep all Titans and their families safe.
Please help us these final weeks by making sure your child's Chromebook is charged and they bring the power cord with them. With online state testing, it is imperative that the students come prepared to take the test. If you student has a Chromebook issue, we encourage them to reach out to the librarian. Thank you for your help!
Honored to be a Titan!
Dr. Justin Barrett
Reminder of Pick-up and Drop-off Procedures
Is your Chromebook charged? Everyday? Do you have your power cord? Everyday?

Alerts can be set up on the parent portal. Remember every 3 weeks progress reports or report cards are uploaded.

Congratulations to the 46 VASE award winners for art. Caden F., Aqbota O., Haley B., Makenzie J., and Ellyse S. received platinum medals on their artwork, which means their artwork will go on to the state competition. Go Titans!
