On the first day of school, make sure your students know their NEW carpool
number, which will be called during the afternoon pick-up time.
• If
you carpool with other Trinity families, you will verbally give the
carpool numbers of the other students to the carpool callers. Be sure
you know these numbers on the first day of school.

patient, and allow extra time during the first week of school for
learning the new routine and adjusting to traffic patterns.
• Be alert for the new speed humps in our driveway that will control speeds for safety.

MS Day Away Changes
There has been a slight change in times and transportation for the Middle School Day Away at Bull Run Park on Thursday, September 16, 2010. Parents are asked to drop their middle school students off at the park between 8:30 and 9:00AM and to pick up their students at 2:30PM. This should enable parents to participate in morning and afternoon carpool at TCS, if necessary. Unfortunately, we found the bus service to be too costly for this event which is just a few miles from the school. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
