Mar. 28: Admission Open House (virtual)

We're back to school again. On Wednesday, we began our remote learning journey at Trinity Preparatory School. In case you missed the message from our Head of School, Mr. Lawson, we’ll provide a link to the video here. Also as a reminder, any updates to our school status due to COVID-19 can be found at TrinityPrep.org/Coronavirus. 

At Trinity Prep, an ideal learning environment features brick-and-mortar classrooms, collaboration between students and teachers, and encouragement and guidance from teachers. However, due to current health concerns, Trinity Prep has moved to remote learning for our students. This site outlines how we will ensure student learning is continuous and ongoing during the school closure, and consists of resources for students and parents. 

The March 28 Admission Open House is now digital! Parents who are interested in participating in this virtual experience are encouraged to register online. Parents who register will receive an email with instructions on how to participate. 

The TPO Nominating Committee has slated the following to serve on the TPO Executive Committee beginning in the 2020-21 school year:

• President (2-year term) - Bridget Hawley
• 1st VP of Student Activities (2-year term) - Jeni McNeill
• 2nd VP of Enrichment and Development (2-year term) - Mary Ranson
• VP of Nominating (1-year term) - Kelly Ressler

Election of TPO Executive Committee officers will be held at the final meeting of the year, currently scheduled for May 7, 2020, and shall be determined by the majority of those present and voting. All previously scheduled spring Brown Bags are canceled. TPO is working to reschedule and restructure the spring Brown Bags for each grade to be held virtually in April. More information will be coming soon. Finally, the April 7 TPO meeting is canceled. Please keep the May 7 TPO meeting on your calendars. We will decide at a later date if this meeting will be held in person or virtually.

If you don't already do so, please follow Trinity Prep on social media. Be sure to "like" us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter and Instagram. Especially during this time of remote learning, we will strive to keep the Trinity family connected through social media.

Trinity Prep's MyTPS Portal is designed to connect parents with resources and information. MyTPS is different than Canvas, which is used as the primary system for the dissemination of academic content, homework, due dates, daily grades and important communications from teachers, coaches and college counseling. MyTPS is Trinity Prep's secure access for parents to important school resources. Current parents have access to a searchable and printable online student/parent directory as well as access to the following:

• Parent Profile Updates
• Parent/student directory (Online Student/Parent directory video tutorial (1:44 minutes)
• Enrollment
• Student schedules
• Archived mid-semester reports, including comments and semester progress reports

For the remainder of the 2017-18 school year, please contact Sonia Sullivan Clifton for all chaplain related responsibilities and Tracey Watson for all community service related questions.

Student comments for the first quarter will be released in Canvas today after 3 p.m. These comments help teachers communicate how Trinity Prep students are progressing in their classes. Teachers tell about successes and areas for improvement. These comments echo what grade books state inside Canvas while also providing a more holistic view of your child in our community. They also serve as great starting points for conversations about your child's academic progress.

To view your child's comments, please follow the steps below:

1. Log into your Canvas Parent Observer account from the Web. (You will not be able to view comments from the Canvas App.)
2. Select View Grades from your Dashboard (bottom right).
3. Select one of your child's courses.
4. Click on Speech Bubble Icon to the right of the Mid-Semester 1 Comment to view your child's comment for this course.
5. To view comments from another course, click on the course drop down menu located directly above the assignment list and select a course.
