A Message from Headmaster Schutten

Hello, Trivium families, and welcome back from Spring break! I hope you had some much needed rest and leisure over break.

As we begin to look ahead to next year, I wanted to give an update on our college credit opportunities including dual enrollment. As promised, we are very excited to announce that we are expanding our dual enrollment offerings for next year! The flyer below will lay out all of the opportunities for earning college credit: CLEP &AP tests, current dual enrollment offerings, new dual enrollment courses for next year, and even our proposed courses to add in the 26-27 school year.

For the upcoming 25-26 school year – in 10th grade, we will now be offering Humane Letters, Chemistry, and Econ for dual enrollment; 11th grade will now include Humane Letters and all foreign language courses; and 12th grade will add Calculus II to the list.

We will communicate early next year about enrollment deadlines etc. so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, please reach out to our college counseling department with any questions regarding college credit! Thank you!

Warmly,

Headmaster Schutten

Configio/Parent Payment Portal Refunds for Charges made prior to Nov 1

Please be aware that some refunds for purchases made in the Configio/Parent Payment Portal prior to November 1 may not be processed back to the original credit card used. In these instances, you will receive an email with a secure link from Kleercard, prompting you to enter your ACH information for the refund. This is a legitimate process and not a phishing attempt. The link from Kleercard is safe and does not provide anyone at Great Hearts access to your account information. Using Kleercard allows for a quicker and more secure refund process than mailing a paper check through the United States Postal Service. If you prefer to receive your refund via a paper check, please contact your campus office manager.

Notice regarding Special Education Records

Four years after fiscal year of final enrollment, special education records (including placement records, final enrollment in referrals, evaluations, testing program) will be destroyed, and this serves as notice. Special Education Census records will be destroyed five years after records are created or received, and this serves as notice.

Used Uniform Donations

Did you know there is a bin for uniform donations in the Trivium front office?

If you have used school uniforms that you no longer need, you are welcome to drop off items here anytime throughout the school year. They will used to support the PSO Uniform Exchange, the school health office and other needs. If you would like to receive a donation voucher for Dennis/Anton items, please hold onto your items and watch the Friday Flash for PSO Uniform Collection dates to be announced throughout the year. Thank you for supporting our school in this way!

School Messenger Communication

Great Hearts and Trivium Prep continue to utilize the system School Messenger for emails, robo-calls, and text messaging to inform families of campus related academy emergencies and other communications. SchoolMessenger has a new automatic opt-in for text feature. During the registration/re-enrollment process families confirmed their wish to participate in text communications. Great Hearts will now automatically opt in contact information given during the registration/re-enrollment process with the options you selected. You will notice at the beginning of July you will be opted in for text messaging. If you would like to opt out of text messages simply reply STOP to the text from 67585. You can also enter the code 67585 with the message STOP to block any text messaging. Please note, if opting out, you will not receive texts regarding emergencies on campus.
