Message from the President |

Dear Parents and Guardians,
With Block II exams behind us, I am so proud to say Trinity High School continues uninterrupted! Our Covid contact tracing, reporting, and mitigation plans have really kept us on our toes, but the results speak for themselves!
On Tuesday we begin Block III. As you know, we had implemented additional mitigations regarding the lunchroom and classroom desks as Omicron began to surge after the Christmas break. These mitigations were put in place through the end of Block II. Happily, as all news outlets are reporting that the Chicagoland area is past its peak, we are able to relax the strict enforcement of these mandates. Once again, one step at a time, we try to make our way back to some sense of normalcy.
Block III is often the most difficult one in any school. The dreary weather, no major holidays, and early darkness can contribute to February seeming like the longest month of the year, no matter what the calendar says. Please keep an eye on your student, and ensure that your Blazer is taking care of herself and her own well-being during these cold winter days. We have tried to schedule events and activities throughout the month to keep everyone upbeat and engaged, but in the event that you feel your Blazer needs additional support - with anything at all - please reach out to a member of our student support team. Everyone here wants nothing more than a school filled with healthy, happy students, and we have the resources and training to help make that happen!
Once we weather February we will be counting down the days until Spring Break and warmer weather. But until that happens, stay warm, stay well, pour a cup of hot cocoa, and snuggle with your loved ones often!
Wishing you warmth in the days ahead,
|

Laura M. Curley
President

Trinity is currently conducting an IB self-study which takes place every five years. The aim is to review how well the program is working and how it may be modified and improved to best serve our students. Throughout the month of February, IB Coordinator Ms. Crnkovich is inviting IB juniors and seniors (both diploma and certificate candidates) along with Pre-IB sophomores and freshmen as well as any interested students for conversation over lunch. Please encourage your student to stop in the IB office, room 316, during lunch periods for a chat and a treat. For further details, please contact Ms. Crnkovich at ib@trinityhs.org.
