A Message from Headmaster Scott
Dear Archway Trivium West Families,
I love my job. As parents, you are all familiar with that swelling of pride when your child does something well. I get that feeling every day, even the hard days. I am very focused on hiring for next year, and every time I introduce a candidate to our campus I hear about how well behaved and studious our scholars are. They come and they feel something different about us. It is sometimes hard for them to describe, but they recognize that it is good. This is such a wonderful place to work. Thank you for partnering with us and sharing this beautiful community!
Heartily Devoted,
Clay Scott
Headmaster

School Nurse Appreciation Day | This Wednesday was National School Nurse Appreciation Day and we love our Trivium school nurses!! Thank you, Mrs. Schooley and Ms. Andrade for all you do for our scholars, staff and families! We appreciate you!! | |
Health Office Donation Requests | |
We highly encourage all students to bring their own water bottles to school. The water bottle refilling stations are available and bringing their own water bottle will allow our students to stay hydrated, avoid the need to leave the classroom as frequently, and minimize the sharing of the water fountain. Water cups and water bottles are available from the school nurse for students who forget their water bottle.
Parents, if you would like to donate a case of water to the school for our nurses to hand out in emergencies, this would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be left in the front office for the Archway Trivium West nurse.

Families will be issued a donation voucher that they can use to shop at our Uniform Exchange. All donated items must be uniform-policy compliant, clean, and in good condition. Accepted items include: shirts with emblems, sweaters/pullovers with emblems, pants, shorts, skirts, rompers, belts, shoes, and concert attire.
