Unity in Community Week | 9/12 – 9/16

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this last week. Crossword Puzzles came in every day this last week, and we sure hope you learned some things about Trivium if you took the time to do that! Congratulations to the following folks who so far have been drawn to win some fun items over the last four days. We will do our last drawing today after school!

Our GRAND PRIZE DRAWING will happen after midnight tonight, which is the deadline for submission of entries. Families will receive one entry for their Community Investment giving, one entry for their pledged Tax Credit (you set it to draw any day between today and 4/15/2023), and one entry for every additional Tax Credit pledged by a friend or family member that lists you as their referral. Check the donor list as of 9/1/2022. We will update it before our two Grand Prize winners are drawn next week!! Winners can choose from the following:

Remember that we are asking our Trivium Family to rally together in support of our school community by pledging a tax-deductible gift to Community Investment. Why? Because Community Investment giving in partnership with our Trivium families makes our school possible and our classrooms thrive for the scholars! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Family Giving & Community Engagement Officer, Annann Hong, at ahong@triviumprep.org or (773) 307-6779.

The Middle School Minute - Tips for Scholar Success

Organizational Skills and Support

Some middle school scholars have a difficult time staying organized. When disorganization occurs, grades can suffer. To stay organized the following steps can help to form strong organizational habits.

• The correct tools: Having the correct supplies for class aids in success. A place to keep assignments, notes, and handouts are essential. A notebook, folder, and/or a binder with divider tabs for easy access are great organizational tools.
• Model for your scholar: Using a daily planner to record dates for homework, projects, tests, and other school-related activities. If you model this habit and hold your scholar accountable for their daily agenda, this can reduce stress and again create healthy habits.
• Weekly clean-ups: Encourage your scholars to sort and file papers. By purging unneeded items and restocking with supplies that have been used up, your scholar will learn to be tidy and prepared.
