Congratulations to the 4th and 5th graders who participated in the Finals of the Tropicana/4H Speech Contest. The speeches were well prepared and the students did a wonderful job presenting them. I’m sure it wasn’t easy for the judges to determine the top three. In the end the results were: Juessa — First Place, Lorenzo –Second Place, and Luna — Third Place.
I hope all of our Blessed Trinity families have a Blessed Easter break and enjoy the next week and a half with their family.
Please remember to inform the office if you travel outside the country during the Easter break. We have been very diligent about keeping the school sanitized and limiting exposure throughout the school year. We want to keep all students, faculty, and staff safe so we can’t relax on the precautions.
Parents, please encourage your child to continue working on the IXL skills in both Math and Language Arts. These are meant to supplement what is being taught in the classroom. Students also have access to Reflex Math. This is another program that is used to help students improve and master basic math skills in a “game” format.

Accelerated Reader: Students will be required to read and take 3 Accelerated Reader (AR) Tests and corresponding Vocabulary Quizzes (if available…not every book has one) within his/her assigned reading level range, striving for 80% accuracy, each Quarter. Your child’s range is written in the back of his/her Planner. Reading levels will be adjusted throughout the year. Three AR Tests with a minimum score of 80% are due at the end of each quarter. Please encourage your child NOT to wait until the last-minute! Be sure to check out `ARBookFind.com for book recommendations and AR levels.
Homework Policy:
— Neatly done and complete.
— If collected, the student’s name must be on the top right corner to receive full credit.
— If there is no name, there is no credit. Students are reminded to write their name before they turn anything in and it is the first direction given for tests.
— All Math homework is to be done in pencil, never in pen.
— A student will complete a Homework Notice for any assignment that receives a zero. This notice explains why the assignment received a zero and must be signed by a parent and returned the next day. If the assignment is attached with the situation corrected, the student will receive 50% credit on that assignment instead of a zero.
Class Rules:
— Have all needed books, notebooks, spirals, and supplies at your desk for the portion of day because you will not be allowed to return to the cubby to get something.
— Respect all adults, faculty, staff, volunteers, and students. Speak kindly and treat each other as you want to be treated.
— Raise your hand to ask or answer a question.
— Pencils are to be sharpened at the beginning of the day OR during classwork time.
— Transition quietly from one subject to the next.
—- Remain in your sit. If you need to use the bathroom or get up for another reason, raise your hand to ask for permission.
