Important Announcements
New Immunization Requirements for Upper Campus Students
Students’ families are encouraged to schedule doctor visits as soon as possible because of new immunization requirements in Fayette County covering Hepatitis A and MCV4 booster.
The first dose of Hepatitis A is required for all unvaccinated students, regardless of age. This should be scheduled as soon as possible so students can have the second dose in six months (shortly after school starts).
Students will need to have the MCV4 booster when they turn 16.
*Note that the state requires all students to bring in a new immunization certificate for the upcoming school year. Families can contact their physician or the health department for more information about the vaccines and certificates.

General Information
Arrival/Dismissal Procedures
Trinity uses the driveway as a one-way circle. Enter on the right side of the driveway and proceed to the right toward the buildings. Drop off students in front of the double doors of Building A. Drive across the parking lot and circle back to the exit.
For the safety of our students and other pedestrians, please do not drive in the opposite direction of the traffic flow around the circle or cut across the lanes in the parking lot.
Arrival
Students are to arrive no earlier than 7:30 AM. Classes begin at 8:10 AM; students who arrive after 8:10 should go directly to the office to sign in and receive an admit slip. School groups, such as Chapel Band or other clubs, may arrive before 7:30 AM on designated mornings if the teacher sponsor is present to supervise. Since a teacher sponsor is only responsible for supervising students within the group, other students may not be in the building before 7:30 AM.
Dismissal
Students are dismissed at 3:30 PM and should be picked up by 4:00 PM. If the student has not been picked up during this 30-minute window, they will be sent to a supervised study hall and will need to pay the $10.00 fee for that day.
Cell Phone Policy
Student Cell Phone Policy
- Students who bring cell phones to school must keep them off and away all day. Cell phones are not to be used at any time during the school day (8:10 AM – 3:30 PM). If a student chooses to bring a cell phone to school, it must be turned off and stored in his/her locker. Students are prohibited from carrying cell phones in their backpacks, purse, or anywhere on their person. The same policy applies to Apple or other smartwatches.
- Parents who need to contact their child during the school day must do so through the office instead of the student’s cell phone. Students must use the phone in the school office to contact their parents. Use of the text messaging feature is also prohibited during school hours.
- Cell phone usage on campus is subject to the rules in the Acceptable Use Policy that students sign at the beginning of each year.
- Computer games, iPods, MP3 players, and the like are not to be used during the school day (8:10 AM – 3:30 PM). Students who bring such items to school must keep them off and stored away. This also applies to school trips.
- Students who violate this policy will be subject to the following set of consequences:
First time – The phone will be kept in the principal’s office and returned to the student at the end of the day.
Second time – The phone will be kept in the principal’s office and a parent will need to pick it up after 3:30 PM.
Third time – The phone will be kept in the principal’s office and a parent will need to pick it up after 3:30 PM. The student will then need to turn in his/her phone to the principal’s office each school day from 8:10 AM-3:30 PM for the remainder of the quarter.
Faculty Staff & Aides - "My Favorite Things"
Many families ask how they can bless faculty, staff, and aides at Trinity. While nothing is expected and many are happy with just a kind email or note, we know that some families would like to do something more. If you would like to know a specific person’s “favorite things” you can click here for faculty and staff.
Lunch Information
For instructions on how to order hot lunch, click here.
Depending on the day, students will be eating together in the lunchroom or outside. You may pack lunches in lunch boxes, or you may want to pack lunches in a paper bag so everything can go in the trash at the end of lunch. There is a microwave available for use for students at Upper Campus.
Hot lunches may be ordered in advance for Wednesdays, Thursdays, and/or Fridays.
Lunch Schedule:
Middle School: 11:40 a.m.
High School: 12:10 p.m.
Study Hall After School (SHAS)
SHAS is offered each afternoon when school is in session from 3:30-5:00 PM for a $10 fee per session. Students use this time to complete homework while waiting to be picked up after school. SHAS is billed on a monthly basis via TADS. A late fee of $10 will be assessed for children who are picked up for the first 10 minutes after 5:00 PM. After the first 10 minutes, the late fee will be an additional $1 per minute. For students who stay after school to make up tests during SHAS, there is no fee.
Trinity Terms & Jargon
Lower Campus – Another way to refer to the Schools of Early Learning and Grammar Campus.
Upper Campus – Another way to refer to the Schools of Logic and Rhetoric Campus.
Classical Education – This refers to the education style that we use at Trinity. The classical education goes back in order to move us forward; it’s a resurgence of the time-tested model that cultivates a love of learning. Students are not simply given information to be reproduced on standardized tests, but instead are trained in the ways of knowledge, wisdom, and virtue. Practically speaking, this is achieved through three stages of learning coinciding with the natural development of children: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. Learn more here.
SCL – Trinity is accredited by the Society for Classical Learning (SCL).
Titanwear – Titanwear is what we like to call spirit wear. Students may wear Titanwear and jeans every Friday. Titanwear is usually sold a few times per year through the school or you can order from our online store and have it shipped straight to your door. Click here to visit our store.
Advisory – On Tuesdays and Thursdays SOLAR students meet in small groups based on their grade levels (students are mixed up in groups with peers of similar ages) to discuss, journal, and read a collection of poetic liturgies. The goal of these groups is to foster a connection between students and their leader and to create a space for the contemplation of how even the small things in life are worshipful.
Assembly – On Mondays, the School of Logic gathers together for a chapel-like time which is led by faculty. We sing, corporately confess our sins, are assured of our pardon through a passage of scripture, and focus on a catechism question. This process is intended to give students a chance to renew their commitment to the Lord and to focus on important questions for followers of Jesus. Students also contemplate how their time in Assembly should impact how we interact with others.
Snack Shack – On Mondays and Thursdays, during the first WIN (What I Need) period our SOLAR student council sells coffee, juice, Pop Tarts, pastries, etc. and the proceeds from that initiative go to a different non-profit that is aligned with our school’s mission. While our contributions to each organization are nominal in the grand scheme of things, it is our hope that we can raise student and family awareness of these organizations so they can serve alongside them outside of school.
CIVITAS – On Monday afternoons, School of Rhetoric students have a chunk of time that is flexible to be used for several different purposes. Class meetings, additional music rehearsals/academic work, Connect Team gatherings, and guest speakers from our snack shack non-profit of the month regularly fill this time, but we also use it for other calendar-specific events.
PTF – This stands for the Parent-Teacher-Fellowship; it is an organization of parents who work to support a variety of activities and programs. Upon joining the Trinity community, all parents become members of the PTF and are encouraged to participate. From helping out in the classroom and supporting athletic teams to planning events and welcoming new families, parents can find a volunteer role that suits their interests and schedules. Parents are encouraged to attend PTF meetings and discover ways they might wish to be involved in the life of the school. For information on PTF meetings, email:
Lower Campus PTF: lsptf@trinitylex.org
Upper Campus PTF: usptf@trinitylex.org
The Cowen Campus – We are in the process of building a state-of-the-art campus on East Brannon Road! We plan to have our students in grades 6-12 on the campus soon; the PreK-5 students will eventually move to that campus as well.
Gala – Trinity Christian Academy’s Annual Gala is a highlight of the year for many Trinity families; it provides the Trinity community with the opportunity to come together for an evening of fun benefitting Trinity students and helping the school continue to soar to new heights.
Trinity Titans – The Titan is our school mascot.
