Preschool Helpful Hints

Megan Irwin, Head of Preschool

Dear Preschool Parents,

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for Meet the Teacher and Meet the Chargers. We loved meeting you and your wonderful children. The start of the school year is a time filled with excitement and new beginnings. We understand that it can also come with a mix of emotions for both you and your child. Please know that we are here to support you every step of the way, and we are committed to making this transition as smooth and joyful as possible.

To help you feel confident and prepared, here is some helpful information to ensure a smooth and positive start to the school year:

Drop-off:

Drop-off begins at 7:45 AM. Our school day starts promptly at 8:00 AM. If you arrive after 8:00 AM, please go through the front office and walk your student to class.
While many of you may wish to walk your child to class on their first day, and we want you to feel comfortable doing this, we do encourage you to start utilizing carpool as soon as possible to help establish this routine.

Carpool Tips:

For a smooth and efficient carpool process, please remain in your vehicle and allow Trinity staff to assist your children during drop-off and pick-up.
If you need an additional QR code for a family member, please reach out. Having your QR code ready for pick-up times helps us be more efficient.
To enhance safety during carpool, we kindly ask you to refrain from using your phone.
Remember, carpool for Preschool is on Godfrey Ave. Please enter the parking lot from the North (turning left into the parking lot). When exiting, you must take a right back onto Godfrey. Turning left and attempting to make the light at Wadley is not allowed during school hours.

Uniforms:

We understand that some of you are dealing with back-ordered uniform items. Please check the used uniform closet for items to get you through. If you haven't had success there, your student may wear clothes that resemble the uniform in any of the Trinity colors (navy, gray or white). We do not want you to have to purchase new clothing while you wait for your uniforms to arrive, so please know that we will be very flexible.

Daily Footwear:

To ensure your child's safety during active play, we kindly request that they wear tennis shoes with socks every day. Tennis shoes provide the necessary support and grip for various activities, helping to prevent slips and falls. Crocs, Natives, sandals, boots, and dress shoes are not permitted. Your child will not be able to participate in P.E. if they do not have the proper shoes.

Lunch Ordering Information:

We understand that a well-balanced lunch is essential for your child's day, and we are excited to offer convenient lunch options. Please place their lunch order each week, whether you've chosen the all-inclusive plan or the à la carte option.
The deadline for placing lunch orders is every Monday at 8:00 AM. You will receive the weekly lunch menu and a link to place your child's order in our Friday Charger email.
You may also pack lunch, but please be advised we are nut continuous campus.

Blue Bags:
Please send your child with their Trinity blue bag every day and remember to check it each night. We kindly ask that all toys be left at home, and please do not modify the bag or add key chains, etc.

Rest Time:
Trinity provides a nap mat for your child, but we ask that you bring a small blanket (labeled) that can fit inside your child’s blue bag. We will send the blanket home each Friday to be washed. Please note that stuffed animals, lovies, and pillows should remain at home.

We are excited for the fantastic school year ahead and appreciate your partnership in making this a smooth and joyful start for everyone!

Sincerely,

Megan Irwin

Head of Preschool
