The Middle School Minute - Tips for Scholar Success

The Importance of Attendance

As the school year progresses, and the school year is about half over, now is a great time to review your scholar’s attendance. Regular attendance outside of illness and family emergencies is a strong predictor of success in school.

If attendance has been a struggle, here are some tips for better attendance in the second semester.

• Remind your scholar that attendance is an expectation and priority and is related to academic success.
• Finding a healthy balance that emphasizes the need for proper nutrition, exercise, and hygiene can reduce illness.
• Consider the reason that a scholar is missing school/class. Is it possible to make appointments, vacations, and schedule for other non-emergencies outside of school hours?

All Trivium High School students are invited to the Winter Formal on Saturday, January 21, 2023 from 7-10 PM in the Trivium gym. The theme is "Cloud Nine"

Health Office Reminders

As it is Cold & Flu Season, we are seeing lots of scholar with coughs, sore throat, congestion and fatigue. There are a few things we can do to help our scholars stay healthy:

• Remind your scholar to cover his/her nose and mouth with a tissue when sneezing or coughing.
• Have your scholar wash their hands frequently with soap and warm water.
• IF YOUR SCHOLAR IS SICK WITH A FEVER, KEEP THEM HOME TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF ILLNESS TO OTHERS
• YOUR SCHOLAR SHOULD BE NATURALLY FEVER-FREE (TEMP BELOW 100 DEGREES) WITHOUT THE AID OF MEDICATIONS FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE RETURNING TO SCHOOL. THIS IS SCHOOL POLICY.

If your scholar had cold or flu symptoms, please do not give fever reduces to minimize symptoms. When the medicine wears off, the fever will return, and they will have exposed classmates and teachers to their illness. When your child has a fever, they are at a higher risk of other illnesses or viral infections. There are many reasons to keep a sick scholar at home.  

If your child does come down with COVID, CDC and AZDHS policy is to stay home for 5 days from the first symptoms or positive COVID test, whichever comes first. Please contact the Health Office when a scholar does come down with COVID to answer any questions you may have and help figure out what day to return to school. 

Share your Photos with the Trivium Prep Yearbook

Yearbooks will go on sale during spring semester.

You can upload pictures of school events with the yearbook at buytheyearbook.pictavo.com. You will log in to your account (you may need to create a new account) and then click on “pictures” (screenshot below) and upload your favorite photos of school events. Thanks for sharing!
