A Message from Headmaster Scott

Dear Archway Trivium West Families,

One of our fantastic TAs brought this poem to my attention this week and I wanted to share it. Shakespeare can be a little challenging, even when one is familiar with the language of the time. It’s OK, I read it a few times myself. This is Sonnet 94. Please take the time to go through it multiple times if needed so you can fully enjoy this beautiful perspective on strength and temperance.

They that have power to hurt and will do none,

That do not do the thing they most do show,

Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,

Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow:

They rightly do inherit heaven's graces

And husband nature's riches from expense;

They are the lords and owners of their faces,

Others but stewards of their excellence.

The summer's flower is to the summer sweet

Though to itself it only live and die,

But if that flower with base infection meet,

The basest weed outbraves his dignity:

For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;

Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.

Heartily Devoted,

Dr. Clay Scott

As a reminder, picking up students from the Lifetime Fitness parking lot after school is NOT permitted. Students entering the Lifetime parking lot after school is dangerous and a safety issue. Lifetime is a private business and we want to be good neighbors. Please plan to use the school's published pick-up procedures for the safety of all. Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Trivium Prep Kinder-7th Grade Families,

Our sister school, Archway Trivium East, is relocating to Buckeye for the 2022-23 school year, allowing them to expand to serve students grades K-8! In their new campus home, they will be known as Great Hearts Roosevelt. We are interested in learning if any current Trivium Prep or Archway West Kinder-7th grade families are interested in or planning to move to the new Great Hearts Roosevelt campus. If you are among those considering, please kindly take 1 minute to complete this survey by logging into your Parent Portal.

Thank you for your time!

With Devotion,

Archway Trivium West and Trivium Prep Team
