Notes from the Headmaster
Greetings families,
I hope this email finds you well. I know you have all received a good amount of communication over the past few days. I want to briefly recap what was sent so you know what can and should be prioritized here.
I sent an email earlier today with a reminder to fill out your Second Semester Learning Survey. Within it, you will find a recap of the instructions to follow to indicate your intention for the second semester. You can also find the instructions listed below. Again, all families should fill this out, even if you are already on-site. As I stated in this email, we recognize this is a difficult decision, and at an especially difficult time. Please do reach out to me if you have any remaining questions at all and if I can be of any support to you and your family as you think through this together.
Additionally, you should have received an email earlier this week from Mr. Twist detailing our move to 100% Distance Learning from November 30 to December 2. I sent a follow-up email today giving you more information on the format and content of Distance Learning during these days. Please look to this for further information. I will also be hosting a Facebook Live reading of The Phantom Tollbooth on these mornings at 10am, which we began at our last assembly. You do not need an account to attend, but can simply hop onto our school’s Facebook page. I hope to see your children there!
Finally, thank you all for your contributions to the Food Drive this week. Your good-willed and giving spirit shone brightly in this wonderful event. Even during this tumultuous time, it is incredible to see so many of you thinking about those around us in need.
Thank you all, as always, for your continued trust and partnership. My doors are always open for any ways we can best support you and your scholars.
With Devotion,
Stephen Philabaum
Headmaster

Action Required: Complete the Semester 2 Learning Survey by November 20
All families are asked to log into the Great Hearts Enrollment system by Friday, November 20 to select their student's learning plan (either in-person or distance learning) for the entirety of semester 2. If you have any questions, please reach out to your school leadership. To make your selection, please follow the steps below:
-
Please log into the Great Hearts Enrollment system using your username and password. If you do not remember your log-in information, please click on the "Forgot Password" and follow the instructions. If you continue to experience issues, please reach out to ghenrollment@greatheartsaz.org.

Military Family Survey - Complete by November 30
With the adoption of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), military-connected students are now recognized as a distinct subgroup, including students with a parent who is a member of the Armed Forces on active duty of such title. The Military Student Identifier (MSI) questions listed below will provide educators with critical information to personalize attention for military dependent children. Parents/Guardians may decline to respond to these voluntary questions. If a parent/guardian declines, the answer is reflected as a "no." No parent/guardian will be asked to verify their military status by showing a military identification or other DOD documentation.
If your student is a "Yes" to any of the questions below, please email Mrs. Hickman at ahickman@archwaytriviumeast.org with your family's information so that Archway Trivium East can accurately update the information in their system as needed.
- "Is the student a dependent of a member of the United States military service in the Active Duty Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard?"
- "Is the student a dependent of a fulltime member of the National Guard, or Reserve force of the United States military (Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Air Force)."
- "Is the student a dependent of a member of the National Guard, or Reserve force of the United States military (Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Air Force)."
We ask that all families respond no later than Monday, November 30. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to Mrs. Hickman.

Reminder: Great Hearts Open Enrollment is for NEW Students Only
Archway Trivium East Parents: Open Enrollment for new-to-Trivium students will begin Monday, November 9 and runs through Friday, December 11 for all Great Hearts Arizona Academies. Current K-4th Grade students at Archway Trivium East DO NOT need to participate in open enrollment. Re-enrollment information will be sent to current K-4th grade families in March of 2021.
If you have a 5th grade student currently enrolled at Archway Trivium East or Archway Trivium West, please plan to enroll them at Trivium Preparatory Academy during Open Enrollment. 5th grade graduates of Archway Trivium East and West receive "Archway Graduate" priority status which is the highest priority status for enrollment into Trivium Prep. More information will be sent to 5th grade families in the coming weeks.
If you are the parent of a sibling (entering Kindergarten - 12th grades) who is not currently enrolled at a Great Hearts Academy, please plan to fill out an application during the Open Enrollment period unless you have already rolled-over an active application in the enrollment system from the 2020-21 school year. This includes students entering Kindergarten in 2021.
