Hello, Trident Academy Family. Here is your news for the coming week.

Weekly Updates

Head of School

LEAD Testing is complete! The first couple of weeks of school are a time for us to assess students for the best placement in classes.  The good news is that testing is complete! We have a great deal of information on each student and are making adjustments to their plans accordingly. We are off and running in our OG classes! It has been such fun getting to know our new students and reacquainting with returning ones. In our morning meetings, we have started a joke telling day. We have some budding comedians in our midst! The jokes have been lots of fun! When I ask about what they are learning I hear things like: adding and take aways; decimals; reading; scientific method; longitude & latitude, etc. Students seem eager to share and we are excited to hear their enthusiasm! Have a wonderful and safe Labor Day Weekend!
