Dropping Off and Picking Up
Thank you for the patience and extra care you have taken while dropping off and picking up your children. With nearly all of our parents arriving simultaneously, it does create additional congestion and take a little longer as you carefully watch for all our s students, young and old, to ensure their safety. Just a reminder that when you are dropping off, make sure to leave a clear path for the Trail Blazer Bus. Thank you.
Scrip orders
Scrip is a great way to support the school. It is also a good way to purchase gift cards without having to go to a store. Orders before Christmas will be placed right after church on December 6, and December 13. Please direct any questions to Sharon Anderson. Happy Shopping!
Children’s Christmas Service
Just a quick reminder that this year the final rehearsal for the Children’s Christmas Service is Saturday, December 19, from 9:00-10:30.
Read to Achieve
The Read to Achieve program is almost done. If your child/ren are participating in this program and forgot to return the log sheet to school, please do so first thing Monday morning.
Rotary Tree
The Trinity students will once again be participating in the Rotary Tree gift collection. If you have any questions about this, please make sure to speak to your child’s classroom teacher for specific details.
School Closings for Weather
Since the public school district is going to a distance learning format, we will not be able to follow their lead when snowstorms hit. If we should decide to have a delayed start, early dismissal, or call off school for a full day due to weather, a teacher will reach out to each family to communicate any changes to our school day.
Trinity Care
Please continue to register your child/ren for Trinity Care up to 2 weeks in advance. Additional directions are given in the Google spreadsheet.
Cold and Flu Season
Many of you may be wondering what to do when your child develops new symptoms that most likely is related to a typical cold but are also possible symptoms related to COVID-19. According to the most current guidelines, if your child has one of the following symptoms, then they need to remain home for at least 10 days unless a health care provider clears your child to return to school:
- a fever of 100.4 or greater
- new or worsening cough
- difficulty breathing
- a new loss of taste and smell
Additionally, all siblings must also remain home for 10 days or until a health care provider gives the ok. Please contact Susan Van Houten or your child’s teacher with any questions or for more information.
Daily at-home Health Check
Please continue to check your child’s temperature before leaving for school to verify they do not have a fever of 100.4 degrees or more. (Do not medicate your child and send them.)
Also, please perform a visual check on your child for the following conditions:
- Flushed Cheeks
- Rapid Breathing/Difficulty Breathing
- Fatigue
- Extreme Fussiness
- Runny Nose
- Excessive Cough
- Sneezing
- Rash
Please note that students will be admitted into school if these symptoms are connected to a pre-existing condition or diagnosis not related to COVID (e.g., norovirus, strep throat) and are deemed safe by a health care provider.
