2010-2011 Reenrollment is here! 

 Contracts are due Friday, February 5. 

 Spotlight

 We are introducing the "Spotlight" section in Notes from the Quad to highlight members of the Trinity Prep community who exemplify one or more of our four core values:  Educational Excellence, Leadership and Character, Trinity Family, and Spiritual Growth.

The "Spotlight" this week is on the Trinity Prep Community!

Last week our students, faculty, and parents worked together and raised $2,655.00 for the earthquake victims in Haiti.  On campus, our students organized the programs to collect funds for Haiti relief, and the outpouring of generosity and compassion from everyone exemplified the true spirit of the Trinity Family.

General Meeting:  Tuesday, February 2, Kathy Pinson will present "Guidelines for effective parent/teacher communication."  If you haven't been to a TPO meeting this school year, now is the perfect time to attend.  In an effort to enrich the meeting time, the TPO Executive Board and Anne Sofarelli, TPO President, are working hard to choose topics that will enhance your experience on campus.  Garnering tips about communicating with teachers from a faculty perspective is sure to be informative and helpful in the months ahead. 

Brown Bag Calendar:  All Brown Bag Lunches are open to parents regardless of the grade your student may be in this year.  Please review the schedule for topics which may interest you.
