SPRING CASUAL EVENT – April 12th at Tin Cups

Save the Date! We are excited to announce this year’s Spring Casual Event, which will be held on April 12th at Tin Cups. Sponsorship Opportunities will be available soon!

RE-ENROLLMENT COMING SOON!

Re-enrollment for 2019-2020 kicks off on February 1st and ends on February 22nd. Because it is critical for us to determine the openings available for siblings and new families, contracts for returning students submitted after February 22 will incur the $75.00 new student fee. Note that Priority Enrollment for siblings of current students opens on February 19th. – Chloe Knauer

YEARBOOK PHOTOS: We need your help!  Our photographers are “out and about” at most of the school-wide events but we know that so much happens inside of your classrooms and on your individual class excursions.  Please help us by taking those photos you have accumulated on your phone and uploading them to the Trinity Yearbook Balfour Site. 

Students are starting to work on your grade level pages and want more pictures.  This is a way to make sure all that you do this year is covered in our yearbook.

The simple instructions are on the attachment.  Thank you so much for helping and for all you do! – Theresa Pistone
