Letter from the Principal |
|
The start of school has flown by! It's hard to believe that it is already September. I hope everyone enjoyed the four-day weekend. Being closed yesterday for Labor Day does make this Friday, September 8, a school day. Tomorrow is college t-shirt day, and Friday will be a spirit day. For reference, both our school year calendar and our master calendar of school events can be found here: Calendars — Trivium Academy (triviumacademytx.com)
Again, we'd like to thank you for your patience with carpool and for your efforts in contacting the city! We are so excited that they have allowed us to return to our original carpool plan and look forward to being in a steady routine for carpool for the rest of the year. In the mornings, please make sure that you are dropping off by 7:38 at the latest so that your children can be in their seats by the start of school at 7:40, and in the afternoons, please be on campus by 4:20 at the latest.
Our Partners in Education, PIE, chairs met a couple of weeks ago and hosted an informational session for the school last Thursday. We are off to a great start with initial planning for events and fundraising for the year. This is a wonderful group of volunteers who helps make Trivium such a special place! We welcome all who want to volunteer and ask that you complete the background security check as soon as possible so that you can be added to the approved volunteer list. Please click the button below to go to the volunteer background check form. Unfortunately, this third-party system does not send a confirmation. We will contact you if there is an issue with your background check.
We're looking forward to seeing those who can make it to the elementary curriculum night this evening from 5:00-6:30, and we enjoyed getting to see our secondary parents last week. Please see the flyer below for all of the events happening this evening!
Proud to be a Knight,
Sheryl Bradley
Principal/Superintendent

Trivium is a public charter school and therefore must follow state mandates regarding attendance.
*Please note- Texas law requires a district to retain students who are not in school at least 90% of the time a class meets. This includes excused and unexcused absences. Also, per state law, after a student acquires 10 unexcused absences, districts are required to file truancy.
When a student is absent, parents must send an email to attendance@triviumacademytx.com on the night before or morning of a student’s absence.
When students are absent, we must have a note from the parent or doctor concerning his/her absence(s) when he/she returns to school. If a student does not have a note when he/she returns to school, an unexcused absence will be recorded for those days. A two-day grace period will be extended to the student to bring in a note. No more than 3 parent notes per semester will be accepted.
Notes must include the following to be accepted:
• Student’s first and last name
• Grade level
• Days and dates missed
• Reason for absence(s)
• Parent’s signature
• Contact numbers

We are excited to have Wholesome Food Services available this year as a lunch option for our students. Please see below for ordering information and a coupon for 10% off that is good through September 9. Please remember that since we have this available option for food service, we are no longer accepting outside food deliveries at the front office.
If you are sending a lunch with your child, please make sure to include any necessary utensils. We only have what the restaurants send us for the purchased lunches and don't always have extras to spare.

September 13 - Denim Design for High School |
We are having another Denim Design Day on Wednesday, September 13, from 4-6 in the cafeteria. The freshman, sophomores and juniors will be able to get creative and swag out their blue jeans or blue overalls to wear to the games while the seniors will design on white jeans or white overalls. This will be a fun spirit wear item for all of the games but most especially for homecoming week. Homecoming this year will be the week of September 25th, culminating with the Homecoming game on Saturday, Sept. 30th at 10:00 am.
We have navy, red, and gold fabric paint and stencils as well as some fabric markers, but feel free to express yourself and bring a little bling to the party! A lot of people also like to use fabric appliques. You can google spirit overalls, homecoming overalls, or senior overalls to get some design inspiration.
Spread the word to all your friends. We hope to see you on September 13! If you have any questions, please talk to Mrs. Zea.
