Hi Trillium Community. I hope you all are enjoying your holiday time this week and preparing to feast tomorrow.
A few parents have contacted me with some questions about the shift that the state, the district and Trillium is making towards Common Core Standards. The link below is what PPS has put together for parents to explain the shift.
English Language Arts and Math standards have already gone into place, other disciplines will be moving that way in the near future. Beginning next year the state will move away from the OAKS test and to the Smarter Balanced Test, which is designed to assess knowledge along Common Core Standards.
At Trillium we have been intentional and proactive in considering this move...
Please offer up a few hours of your weekend to make the Spectacular extra spectacular!
**********************************
The Arts and Crafts Spectacular on December 7th and 8th is in need of your help!
We need helpers Friday Dec 6th after school until about 4 or 5 and Saturday Dec 7th from 10 am – 5 pm (cashiers, art monitors, clean up, and general help keeping things going) Sunday we need the same, but later probably until 7 or 8 to help with clean up.
This is important because…
30% of all sales go to TFT to be used for school supplies, outdoor school, senior grants, scholarships, teacher grants, and community building programs. There will be a raffle and a community gallery with 100% of the proceeds going to TFT.
We will also be featuring student artists and performances with the lower...
Next Monday, November 18 is our next TFT meeting at 6pm at school. This will be our first grant period, so please get all requests into the TFT box by 3pm on Monday.
Friday, November 22 6pm-8pm is Friday Family Fun Night: Our theme is games and we are thinking big collaborative games-Dungeons and Dragons, Magic, Settlers of Catan or any other favorite you may have (bring it). A great way to learn to play a new game and hang out with your Trillium family.
**We will also be making snowflakes for the Arts and Crafts Spectacular. So there will be holiday crafting for those inclined**
Bring a snack to share.
Scrip contest Nov 1-Dec 11: The classroom with the most # of scrip cards purchased AND the class with the highest dollar amount of scrip ordered will each win a $50 gift ...
Hello Trillium Community. In response to feedback from parents and teachers I have decided to forego a formal coffee klatch to discuss this latest address but rather will be available to answer questions throughout parent teacher conferences on Thursday from 5-7 PM and the following morning from 9-12 AM. It seems that there may be a number of questions pertaining to proficiency grading as parents receive report cards and attend conferences and I would like to be able to answer all of those questions as they arise.
In the future we will return to the coffee klatch style conversations to debrief State of the School Addresses.
Thank you for your continued support of and commitment to our school.
Kieran

Hello Trillium Friends,
Thanks to all of you who have purchased Scrip gift cards recently – I am keeping careful track of which class your child is in – perhaps your child’s adviser will win one of those $50 gift cards! Remember the contest runs through Dec. 11th, and I have attached a flyer describing the details of the contest as well as a special order form below…
If no one is at the Scrip table you can drop your special order form with payment attached in the big, silver Scrip box on the Scrip table. Orders turned in by Monday at pick-up, will be filled and available for you to pick up Friday morning or afternoon of the same week.
However, since there is no school the next couple of Fridays, I will be at the Scrip table Thursday at pick-up this week and next week…
Keep in mind I a...
