Journey to Knighthood - Parent Strategies for Student Success

May 30, 2024

Dear Incoming 6th Grade Families,

Thank you for joining us on this "Journey to Knighthood" as we prepare for 6th grade at Trivium Prep. Today, you'll hear from two different Trivium Prep parents who share about their experience supporting their children in their 6th grade year at Trivium Prep. Their practical advice and wisdom provide great ideas, as you consider how to set up your own student for success in middle school. We encourage you to talk through this topic with your student. Please enjoy these conversations between Mr. Simmons and these Trivium parents.

Ordering Now Open for 6th Grade P.E. Uniforms!

Each 6th grade student is required to have a Trivium Prep PE bag, shirt, and shorts. One set of shorts and shirt is sufficient for weekly use. The PE bag is also required for the class and is used to carry PE uniforms to and from class.
