Middle School is Off to a Great Start

Dear Middle School Families,  

We have made it through the first seven days of school, and this year is off to a great start! We had an excellent turnout and a crazy, fun time for Meet the Teacher and Meet the Chargers. I apologize for any delays with Chromebook setup, advisor assignments, or finding classrooms. It may have felt chaotic to some, but it really was organized chaos that allowed us to hit the ground running on Wednesday morning. I hope being on campus before the first day of classes eased any fears or unknowns your child(ren) may have had. A big thank you to our Trinity Ambassadors, who did a fantastic job as tour guides! 

With every new beginning comes challenges and victories. After a week and a half of school, we have made a few minor adjustments to carpool, individual schedules, and lunch routines with the students’ best interests in mind. We have visited in detail about policies, procedures, and expectations, and signed our names to the Honor Code. Our 5th graders have visited with Ms. Morgan, the Middle and Upper School Wellness Director, about kindness and our overall expectations of being part of and contributing to our community. Grades 6 through 8 will visit with Ms. Morgan next week, and you will hear from her in early September. All the butterflies and unknowns have dissipated for students and teachers, and we are well into our new daily routine. 

The students’ and teachers' smiles, excitement, and energy are infectious and have brought our building back to life. We look forward to building on that positive energy that has filled our classrooms, commons, chapel, and outdoor spaces to enhance authentic learning and create a safe and welcoming space for your child to flourish this school year. Middle School is truly a fun place to be!

We are so very grateful for the opportunity to spend our days with your child(ren) and look forward to a year full of learning and memories. Please know you are always welcome in the MS, and my door is always open. Stop by any time to visit or just pop in to check out the greatness that happens each day. 

Gratefully,

Chrystal
