Important Health & Safety Update |

HT Establishes a Quarantine Student Support Specialist
As we mentioned in our Asynchronous Learning During Quarantine Plan released last week, Holy Trinity has created the position of Quarantine Student Support Specialist (QSSS) to assist with resources during any student quarantine period. This position is NOT to take the place of a student’s advisor or his or her teacher. Rather, someone to assist with resources during periods of extended absence.
We are pleased to announce that Upper School teacher Sarah Brown has graciously agreed to assume this new role in addition to her current teaching commitments in AP English Literature and AP Capstone. Ms. Brown's QSSS responsibilities will include:
- Making daily calls to all students absent due to illness or quarantine to find out if they need anything to facilitate the continuum of learning.
- Helping facilitate retrieving things from lockers or classrooms and preparing them for pick-up by family members, friends or classmates.
- Making sure the student is in contact with their teacher(s) daily.
- Helping with proctoring tests or quizzes,
- Helping facilitate messages to coaches, if the student plays a varsity sport.
Sarah started in her new role this week and has already been in contact with students and/or parents to help coordinate getting them what they need in order to stay current in their classes.

Parent Reminder:
Carline reminders: Please remember that our school is in the middle of a neighborhood. Our neighbors and the Melbourne Police Department have asked those using carline to not queue up on Fee Avenue or Mitchell Street. Rather, please circle the block or find a place to park and wait in an area that is not on the neighborhood streets until the carline gates are open. As you approach the school, please do not block driveways or apartment complex parking spaces as you wait to enter the gate. As you exit the carline, right hand turns are generally the safest and help the carline to run more efficiently. We thank you in advance for your patience and grace as we work to ensure students are able to enter and exit campus safely.
