Dr. Hollenbeck's March Letter to Parents

Dear Parents,

Thank you to all who came out this past Saturday to our Taste of Trinity event!  It was a wonderful time with great food and fellowship.  

We are beginning our registration process for next year.  New 7th grade parents will be assisted at IC and CTK schools over the next few weeks.  Many TJH parents register online at home, but if you would like assistance, we will have Tuesday, March 10 set aside after school to help our current parents or anyone who would like to come.  There will be both Spanish and English speaking assistance available that night.

This Thursday, March 5, all of our 8th graders will travel to Southside High School to see the SHS Drama department's production of "The Diary of Anne Frank."  Students will leave by bus from TJH at about 8:45 a.m. and will return to TJH by lunchtime.  

We will have Soccer Club practice for girls on Wed., March 3 and for boys on Thurs., March 4 from 3:30--5 p.m.

By now you have likely heard news reports about cases of coronavirus (also called COVID-19 or 2019- nCoV).  Most of these cases have been reported in China and European countries, with a handful in the United States.  Because of the media attention, and because your child’s health and safety are our highest priority, the Diocese of Little Rock has prepared some basic information about coronavirus and how the schools in the diocese are prepared to address this flu-like illness should it become a concern here.  Please see the letter from the Diocese sent to parents via email.  In an abundance of caution, we will temporarily suspend our semester test absence policy for the month of March.  Any absences for illness will not be counted against students for semester test exemption purposes.  Students will be required to make up whatever work that they miss.  As always, if your child is sick, please keep him or her at home to recuperate.  

You will also find a March calendar posted on our website.  We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you soon at Parent/Teacher conferences on March 17 and 18.
