Tuition Reminder—School has gotten off to a great start! Schedules are becoming busy with school activities and family functions. This comes as a gentle reminder that school tuition payments are due by the 1st of each month. Payments are spaced out over a 12-month period starting in July, 2017 and running through June, 2018. It is our hope that a monthly payment plan will be easier for all families to budget. If you have any questions on your tuition payments, please see Sara in the office. Thanks!☺
Scrip News—Its time to start thinking about Christmas gift giving! Why not give a gift card from our Scrip Program? The next Scrip sale at church will be November 19 following each worship service. Stop by the office during office hours and check out the cards we have available on hand. Miss the Magazine Sale?—Have relatives/ friends out of town? Now anyone can order magazines anytime during the school year at gaschoolstore.com and enter the school ID code #2662468. The 40% profit is used by PTL (Parent Teacher League) to sponsor many fun activities during the school year. You helped us raise over $1,150!!! It’s that time of year again… We would like to remind you that if Berrien Springs Public Schools are closed—due to a weather emergency—Trinity will also close. Please watch your email for a message from Trinity stating that we are closed. We will also post our closing on the local TV stations. *If Berrien Springs is on a 2-hour delay so are we. Please note there will be NO hot lunch service for that day. Also note that if Berrien RESA is closed for any reason, we will have NO hot lunch service that day.
