Summer Update | July 2022

Welcome to the 2022-2023 School Year!

Joe Marshall
Dear Trinity Families,
 
I hope you and your family continue to enjoy a fun and refreshing summer break! We will soon welcome all families back on campus, and I offer a special welcome to all families new to Trinity. You and your children are joining a wonderful, supportive, and caring community.
 
As an elementary school, Trinity is grounded by the following core tenet: developing in our students a strong academic and character foundation while also fostering their continued curiosity and engagement in school and learning. This strong cognitive and social-emotional base supports our graduates’ continued success in middle school and beyond. While looking toward the future, Trinity also cherishes the wonder of childhood and the preciousness of children’s elementary school years. To me, this balance of enjoying the present while preparing for the future is the essence of an elementary-school education and is what distinguishes Trinity from other schools!
 
In addition to our incredible teachers who nurture and inspire your children, you, our Trinity parents, support the School in countless ways. Thank you in advance for your flexibility, can-do attitude, volunteerism, and philanthropy as we work together. It’s this spirit of possibility that makes Trinity the exemplary place it is and will ensure the 2022–23 school year is memorable and meaningful for your children.
 
Our campus has been busy this summer, including a full array of camp programs and new family events. It is exciting to watch the construction projects made possible by the Inspire Excellence campaign continue! The Early Elementary Dining Hall is now complete and site work has begun on the Multi-Use Recreation Center. We are excited about this new structure, and its completion date will depend on meeting certain fundraising goals.
 
I very much look forward to seeing all of you during Visitation Day on Wednesday, August 17. Enjoy your final weeks of summer as we look forward to another great school year!
 
Sincerely,
Joe
 
Joseph P. Marshall
Head of School

    Division Heads 2021
    Dear Trinity Families, 

    Welcome to a new, exciting school year that will be filled with amazing Trinity traditions and memorable learning experiences. As we look towards the 2022-23 school year, we thank you in advance for your support and partnership as we strive to support every Trinity student in reaching their full potential. It is our vision and hope that each child will experience growth and maturation academically, socially, and emotionally in a safe and welcoming educational environment. 

    We recognize that support from both home and school provides each student with the necessary tools needed for success. We know a strong partnership with each family makes a great difference in every child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our students’ success, and we are committed to doing our very best for your children and their Trinity Experience. 

    Effective and timely communication is a crucial component for success in partnerships. Knowing this, we will continue using the Seesaw platform for teacher communication and our robust My Learning profiles. We encourage you to review and comment on your child’s entries frequently as they love receiving comments from you about their progress. We also ask that you review the updated Parent Handbook to make sure you are aware of all school policies and procedures.  

    Trinity is a special place to learn and grow. Our goal of “cherishing childhood” will continue to guide our programs and decisions to help us continue to provide a rigorous, joyful, and inclusive school environment. Our overarching goal is to encourage active student engagement, connect with each student, and foster a lifetime love for learning.

    We are excited about the new members of our Upper Elementary and Early Elementary Division teams and our enhanced programs. We know each new member will bring value to our community and their teaching team. All of our teachers are committed to providing each student with a high-quality, multi-sensory, student-centered learning environment and practices that support the holistic development of every child. Each member brings a unique set of skills, experiences, and knowledge base to our community and will enhance our existing programs.

    We wish your family much joy in the days and weeks to come! As always, please reach out to either one of us with any questions or concerns. 
     
    Sincerely,
    Sheree and Ira

Please note the following safety procedures.
     
    • During carpool hours and special events, our community is required to enter Trinity’s campus from Northside Parkway at the Trinity School sign. Carpool hours are as follows: 7–8:30 AM, 12:30 PM–4:30 PM.

    • For their safety and the safety of others, pedestrians are strongly discouraged from using the loop road.
    We appreciate the entire Trinity community working together to follow the traffic rules to ensure the safety of our students, parents, faculty, and staff. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Reginald Haley, Director of Operations, at rhaley@trinityatl.org.

  • + Early Carpool Pickup Protocol

    To keep afternoon carpools safe and efficient, please note the following guidelines if you are picking your child up early and it is close to a 12:30, 2, 3, or 4 PM carpool.

    • Please make sure you update SchoolPass by 8:30 AM to reflect an early pickup (see policy above).

    Winnie Smith
    Dear Trinity Community,

    I hope summer is treating you well and you are enjoying some less scheduled days with loved ones. On behalf of Trinity’s administration, faculty, staff, and parent volunteers, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all new and returning families as we look to the 2022-23 school year. We are energized to be returning to a more typical school year and look forward to continued connection through our cherished Trinity-specific traditions and events. We are grateful to be navigating this path together as a community and dedicated to ensuring the remarkable experience for which Trinity is known. 

    I am honored to serve as President of the Trinity School Parents’ Association (TSPA) this year. In this role, I look forward to working with TSPA’s parent leaders, including the TSPA Council, Grade Level Representatives (GLRs), TSPA Committee Chairs, and Room Parents. These volunteers serve in numerous roles, most notably as a resource and communication channel for all parents. GLRs and Room Parents are available to you throughout the school year, and I encourage you to get to know them as they are both diplomatic and an excellent source of information. GLRs are a conduit between you, TSPA, the administration, and the Board of Trustees. Room Parents are a link between you, your child’s class, and teachers. We all encourage your questions and feedback as they will only help us to get to know your family better and evolve together.

    In fact, one of Trinity’s greatest assets is our community of capable, enthusiastic, and talented volunteers. Whether you are a new or returning parent, there is a perfect volunteer opportunity waiting for you. We hope you will consider signing up for a Trinity volunteer role that speaks to you in this digital newsletter and look out for the email with classroom specific volunteer roles that will be sent during the first few weeks of school from your Room Parent. These roles not only benefit our school but also allow you an opportunity to connect with fellow parents in our warm and welcoming community.

    I can hardly wait to see you on campus. Please be sure to say hello!

    With Gratitude,
    Elana

    Elana Street
    2022–2023 TSPA President

  • + Grand Day | October 21

    Grand Day is a very special tradition at Trinity. It is one that our children look forward to each year, a day when grandparents or special friends are invited into the classrooms to spend time with students. This year’s event will take place on Friday, October 21. The event typically begins with a Welcome Reception for all guests, followed by classroom visits. We will communicate full information about this wonderful tradition closer to the event.
     
    Linked below is a Grandparent Information Form for your completion. Grand Day invitations will be sent to grandparents and special friends based on the information you provide on this form. A special friend may be invited to Grand Day only if no Grandparents are able to attend. If you wish to have a special friend invited to Grand Day, please feel free to indicate the name of the individual that you would like to invite. In order for Grands to receive all information on time, please complete the linked form below by Friday, August 26. If you have any questions, please contact 2022-23 Grand Day Chair Annie Everett at everettannie@gmail.com or Director of Spotlight on Art and Special Events Leisy Stevenson at lstevenson@trinityatl.org.
     
    Completion of this form will also enable the School to involve grandparents in the Trinity Community. Grandparents will be added to Trinity’s mailing list to receive our major publications and invitations to participate in the full spectrum of school life. As email is our primary form of communication, please consider including current email addresses for your parents. If your parents do not wish to receive any correspondence from the School, please contact Leisy Stevenson.
     
    We look forward to making Grand Day a memorable occasion for your child and their Grands!
