As agencies at local, state, and national levels continue to address the coronavirus, we want you to know that we are actively engaged with the Kent Intermediate School District on this issue. Kent ISD is coordinating directly with the Kent County Health Department to provide information as it becomes available.

Spring parent-teacher conferences are optional. If you wish to meet with a teacher (or if a teacher requests that you do so), please set up an appointment for the week of March 23.

Students in Grades 3-6 are invited to participate in our annual Reader’s Theater puppet plays. Those who sign up must be available to attend all three Friday rehearsals (March 6, 13, and 20) and the performance on Friday, March 27.

Love to read? Love baseball? Students in Grades K-4 are invited to participate in the Whitecaps Reading Club. Please read the information on the forms going home today. They are due back on Tuesday, March 31. Students can earn two free tickets to the game on May 30. Extra reserved seats can be purchased on the form. If you’d like to attend but do not have a K-4 student, contact Mrs. Bodine to order discounted reserved seats in the Trinitas section.

As we enter the season of Lent, it is appropriate that our virtue focus is FAITH. We encourage you to take some time to put into practice disciplines that will help your child(ren) and you grow in faith as your minds and hearts prepare for the death and resurrection of our Lord.

We are looking forward to our first Parent Information Breakfast on Saturday, March 7. As we finalize plans for the program, we will know more about our needs for family and student participation. At this time, we are seeking food donations for the continental breakfast. If you are able to help, please contact the office.

In addition, please keep spreading the word and inviting those who might be looking for a school like Trinitas! RSVP’s will be required for this event. Guests may register directly on Eventbrite or by clicking the “Reserve Your Place” button on our website.

We will have an all-school picture taken after Morning Prayer next Wednesday, February 26. Students should arrive in dress uniform, but they may bring everyday uniform items and change after the picture.

To order the all-school picture, return the order form that went home with students this week. The form is due on or before Picture Day. You may also pay online where you will be given a code to show that payment has been made. Please contact the office if you have questions.

Trinitas will welcome Davies Owens, host of the Basecamp Live podcast, in April! Mr. Owens will be speaking at a special event on Tuesday evening, April 21. As with Protect Young Eyes, we hope to facilitate conversation within our community about cultural trends that are deeply influencing children, youth, and adults alike. Watch for more details!

Please note there will be no school on Wednesday, April 22, as Mr. Owens will be leading an in-service day for the staff.

If you have a child staring kindergarten in the fall, please plan to attend Kindergarten Round-Up on Tuesday, March 17, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. Children will enjoy group activities with Mrs. Hultink and work through some oral and written exercises which help to assess readiness. Parents will have the opportunity to meet with Mr. Marth to discuss tips and hints for a successful start to kindergarten.
