Trinity Christmas Wreath and Flower Sale
Support Trinity and get your holiday greenery at the same time! The Trinity Christmas Wreath and Flower sale is open through Friday, November 25 (new, extended date!), with a pick-up date of Saturday, December 3, from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Please find more information here. Make your purchase online here.
Winter Weather Notifications
In the event of a school closure or delay, Trinity will communicate that information to families in several ways. Families will be notified via call/text through out OneCall System. We will also notify local TV stations. We will post the announcement to our social media channels as well as our website. We expect the first snow day to be a genuine snow day (i.e., students will have no additional academic requirements). Beyond that, we may use flexible instruction or virtual learning days. On two-hour delays, students may dress down, following school dress down guidelines.
Trinity Gear
There are several apparel stores open with Trinity gear. Check them out here.
Reflections in Silver: Fundraiser for Trinity
New to Trinity this year is Ted Walker, a master artisan in the jewelry design business and a Trinity parent. Reflections in Silver has been a family business for more than 63 years, and Ted designs and fabricates by hand a complete line of sterling silver jewelry. Through Christmas, 25% of each purchase made from Reflections in Silver will be given back to Trinity! Orders can be placed through the Reflections in Silver website. Add "Trinity" in the special instructions section. Or choose your items and email Ted; payments by check or credit card can be arranged. All orders feature free shipping, or they can be picked up from Trinity's Main Office. Please allow delivery times of up to a week, though some orders may be filled as soon as a day.
Important: Attendance Reminders
A reminder to parents that students are permitted only 10 absences via parent notification/note per school year. Here is the policy per the Student-Parent Handbook: "The Compulsory School Attendance Law of Pennsylvania stipulates that EXCUSED absences include the following: illness, family emergencies, prearranged doctor and dentist appointments, authorized school activities, college visitations. A maximum of 10 days of cumulative lawful absences verified by parental notification may be permitted during a school year. All absences beyond 10 days will require an excuse from a physician."
When notifying the school of their student's attendance, parents should please contact the Attendance Office at attendance@thsrocks.us (linked at the bottom of this section of Trinity Weekly) or at (717) 909-3706 by 9:00 a.m. with information about their student's absence, early dismissal, late arrival, or appointment schedule. After the initial phone call or email, the parent/guardian will also need to submit a written note within three days to excuse these occurrences. Students missing school due to a medical appointment will need to provide a medical excuse from the doctor's office. Per our Handbook, absences for illness that result in missing three or more consecutive school days require a doctor's note. Thank you for your help with these matters!
Last Chance: Food Drive
Our annual food drive to benefit New Hope Ministries has been extended to Monday, November 21. If you have not already contributed items, please consider brining in one or more of the needed items: rice (white or brown), pasta (all types), pasta sauce, cooking oil, cereal, peanut butter, canned veggies, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.
