Assisting Your Scholar When You Don’t Understand the Material

It's crucial to assist your student even when you don't fully understand the material because it demonstrates a commitment to their learning. You ultimately help your scholar overcome their learning obstacles by finding alternative explanations or seeking additional support from other sources.

Be Honest with Your Scholar: Whether a concept is outdated or unknown, further exploration demonstrates a commitment to lifelong learning.

Researching the Topic Together: Utilizing available resources like consulting teachers, textbooks, and reputable online materials.

Break Down the Concepts: Once you gain understanding of the concept, then identify the key components and explain them in simple language, and make it more relatable by using real-world examples.

The time to give is now! Please open your hearts and give. We are currently at 24% school participation for Tax Credit. The Arizona Public School Tax Credit (TC) drive supports character-building activities including enrichment course, and field trips.  

Every Arizona resident is eligible to contribute their Public School Tax Credit, claim it on their state taxes, and receive the same amount on their tax return. 

We ask parents to give $200 if they file individually or $400 if they file jointly. We also ask extended family, faculty, and friends to give their Tax Credits as well.

Community Investment - Matching Opportunity

Trivium Families--we need everyone to support Community Investment. Community Investment supports our core education of Music, Language, and Art programs and these programs would not be possible without our community investing in them.

Today, we invite you to join us in strengthening the Great Hearts mission through an extraordinary gift-matching opportunity. A generous Trivium family, who wishes to remain anonymous, has pledged to match every new recurring Community Investment gift, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000, now through June 30, 2025. This means your support will have twice the impact for our scholars and academy.

We urge you to consider participating by visiting the link below, where your generosity will be amplified, creating a lasting legacy for our scholars. And as an exciting incentive, if we increase our recurring gift participation by 10% our scholars will receive a free-dress day—and both Headmasters will be slimed by our scholars during a special assembly!

Dear Trivium Prep Parents,

As the summer heat approaches, we want to remind everyone that triple-digit temperatures are expected in the coming weeks. To keep our students safe and hydrated, we encourage all students to bring a refillable water bottle to school each day. Staying hydrated is crucial during these hot months, and having water on hand will help ensure the scholars stay comfortable and focused throughout the day.

Reminder: The health office kindly asks that you continue to keep us informed about any health updates or injuries your child may experience. Whether it's a recent illness, an ongoing condition, or an injury, staying updated will help us provide the best care and support for your child while they’re at school.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any changes or important health information. We appreciate your partnership in ensuring the well-being of all our students. Direct health office phone number is: 623-209-0603.

Thank you for your support in keeping our students safe and healthy!

-Marjaan Kahn, RN-BSN

Configio/Parent Payment Portal Refunds for Charges made prior to Nov 1

Please be aware that some refunds for purchases made in the Configio/Parent Payment Portal prior to November 1 may not be processed back to the original credit card used. In these instances, you will receive an email with a secure link from Kleercard, prompting you to enter your ACH information for the refund. This is a legitimate process and not a phishing attempt. The link from Kleercard is safe and does not provide anyone at Great Hearts access to your account information. Using Kleercard allows for a quicker and more secure refund process than mailing a paper check through the United States Postal Service. If you prefer to receive your refund via a paper check, please contact your campus office manager.

Used Uniform Donations

Did you know there is a bin for uniform donations in the Trivium front office?

If you have used school uniforms that you no longer need, you are welcome to drop off items here anytime throughout the school year.

School Messenger Communication

Great Hearts and Trivium Prep continue to utilize the system School Messenger for emails, robo-calls, and text messaging to inform families of campus related academy emergencies and other communications. SchoolMessenger has a new automatic opt-in for text feature. During the registration/re-enrollment process families confirmed their wish to participate in text communications. Great Hearts will now automatically opt in contact information given during the registration/re-enrollment process with the options you selected. You will notice at the beginning of July you will be opted in for text messaging. If you would like to opt out of text messages simply reply STOP to the text from 67585. You can also enter the code 67585 with the message STOP to block any text messaging. Please note, if opting out, you will not receive texts regarding emergencies on campus.
