A Message from Headmaster Scott


Dear Archway Trivium Families,


The Art Walk is a beautiful tradition at Archway Trivium. It serves as a way to celebrate the creativity and discipline our scholars have demonstrated throughout the year in their art classes, as well as an opportunity to gather as a community for fun and fellowship. Whether it's sitting together for a meal, working on an art project in the MPR, admiring the art work on display in our hallways, or visiting with other parents while scholars enjoy the bounce houses, I encourage you to connect with other families tonight as we gather. It has been a great year together. I look forward to seeing you tonight!


Heartily Devoted,


Clay Scott

Headmaster

Student Pledge Leaders: Alexis M., Shane C, Sterling V., Jennifer P., Sofia C.

Late Pick-up Policy


We have been doing very well with our on-campus student pick-up and drop-off routines as of late. Every year, it takes a few weeks for us to settle into a routine so that the pickup runs smoothly. Now that pick-up times are running efficiently, we ask parents to ensure they arrive on time to pick up their students.


We will begin enforcing our Late Pick-up Policy on Tuesday, September 5. Please make sure you are arriving within 30 minutes of the end of school to pick up your scholar in order to avoid being charged a late pick-up fee. Parents arriving after this time will be required to sign out their child from the MPR and may be assessed a $2 per minute, per student late fee. All late pick-up fees will be added to your Configio account and are due upon receipt. For more information, please see page 46 of our Family Handbook.


Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday - You will be charged from 3:35pm

Wednesday - You will be charged from 1:55pm

Half days - You will be charged from 12:25pm (excludes Half Day Kinder)
