Important Health & Safety Update
Be Smart, Be Safe, and Enjoy the Long Weekend

As a reminder, Holy Trinity will be closed tomorrow (Friday), September 3rd through Monday (Labor Day), September 6th. As our students/families embark on the long holiday weekend, we ask that you please take the necessary precautions and practice good judgement when traveling or venturing out, and upon returning to school next week. If your child feels ill, please keep them home. Your continued vigilance during these concerning times is essential in helping us slow the spread of COVID-19 in our school.
Upper School Reduces Events Occupancy

In our continuing efforts to lower the number of positive COVID cases and slow the rate of transmission within our school, we are reducing our Upper School occupancy protocols for events to 50-percent (50%) for large capacity spaces such as the Scott Center/Chapel, Tiger Café, gymnasium, and Kelly Field. This adjustment is effective as of Monday, September 6th, until further notice. As with all of our COVID-19-related protocols, we are constantly assessing their effectiveness and making adjustments necessary to keep our students and staff as healthy as we can. Our hope is that this is a temporary measure, as we have a number of exciting events planned for our school community this fall.
Vaccination Cards

Holy Trinity is reorganizing our record keeping procedures to allow us to more effectively and efficiently reference your documents. If you have not submitted your student’s vaccination record to us yet, you are welcome to do so now.

We have opened a new form in onCampus to allow parents to upload this information directly so it is available when needed, as in the case of identifying and confirming quarantines. To do so, please use the following steps:

  1. Login to onCampus and click on your name in the upper right corner
  2. Click on “Files & Forms” in the dropdown menu
  3. Look for the 2021-22 COVID-19 Vaccination Card Upload form and click “Review”
  4. In the form, use the “Upload” button to submit your PDF or picture of the record
  5. Don’t forget to click “Submit” to complete the process
  6. You will receive a confirmation email after submitting the record


If you have already supplied your vaccination card to Holy Trinity, you do not need to do so again.

Providing proof of vaccination is not mandatory and entirely at the discretion of the student/parent or staff member.
PHOTO OF THE WEEK


Point Break Priest?
Reverend Rip Tide?

No, that's actually Holy Trinity's Interim Chaplain Reverend Porter catching some waves during a recent vacation with his family. He shared some fun photos - intended just for laughs - with our Upper School students during chapel this week.

Who knew you could hang ten in a clergy collar???
