Important Character Traits to Support Success

Children are born with certain personality traits. Other traits are learned and can help shape the person that your scholar will become.

• Responsibility: Age-appropriate tasks can help your scholar learn and practice responsibility.
• Positive Attitude: Helping your scholar find the positive will help foster a favorable outlook.
• Respect: Reminding your scholar of manners, timeliness, and listening skills will help with the foundations of remaining respectful.
• Behavior: Helping your scholar navigate difficult choices in your presence will aid in the ability to make positive choices in your absence.

The Arizona Public School Tax Credit (TC) drive supports character-building activities including athletics, 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. 

Our faculty contribute so much to your scholar's education. We ask you to make the same commitment to your scholars as our faculty through the tax credit.

Take the Tax Credit Today!

Volunteer / Donate to the Dad's BBQ

Dear Trivium families,

Tired. Grumpy. Headaches. Lacking focus. These are just a few of the things that can happen when students are hungry at school.

Unfortunately, we are seeing a large number of students who are not eating breakfast and/or lunch. From the growing body of research, it is clear that what young people eat (and do not eat) can affect not only their physical health but their mood, mental health, participation in sports and activities and engagement in learning. We are asking for parents help in making sure their scholar is eating breakfast every morning and either packing a lunch or getting one from My Hot Lunchbox.

Allergy season has begun. February through June are typically the worst months for allergy sufferers as the warmer temperatures and windy conditions mean high pollen counts and aggravated symptoms. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, and red, watery, and itching eyes.

We are asking for donations of tissues in the Health Office. Donations can be left in the front office labeled for the Trivium Prep Health Office. Thank you for the support in keeping our Knights healthy.

In partnership,

Christine Work, RN
