Field Filling Fiesta

Gather your rakes, shovels, and wheelbarrows! We are going to fill in gopher holes on the field on Monday, October 26 from 2:30 - 5:00pm. All hands on deck as we smooth the field out.

Thinking About Solar?

If you've been thinking about going solar AND planning to donate to TSEF to support the arts, this is your chance to do both!! There will be a silent auction for solar panels, a battery, and installation at this weekend's Resilience Fair. See below for more information.

Volunteering

We can't tell you how much we appreciate volunteers at Trinidad School! Volunteers make it possible for us to take off campus adventures and field trips, and share their knowledge, expertise and passions with students in the classroom.

Please read our volunteer handbook on the school website HERE. We have some guidelines in place to make field trips and classroom volunteering run smoothly and safely for all involved.

Some handbook highlights:

All volunteers must have a background check on file with the office.

Chaperones may not bring other children (including siblings) on field trips.

Anyone wishing to drive must submit proof of insurance, a valid driver's license, and a clean DMV driving record.

Carpool Opportunity

Looking to carpool to and/or from school this year? We've set up this carpool signup sheet so Trinidad families can connect with one another. Feel free to add your information if you're offering rides, looking for a ride, or both! Please note that families are responsible for arranging carpools and communicating directly with one another. The district does not monitor this document or endorse any drivers, so please use your own judgment when choosing carpool partners.

Carpool Signups

Costume Exchange

Halloween costume shopping doesn’t need to be scary! Drop off and/or pick up a Halloween costume at the costume exchange rack located outside the front office.

What's for lunch?
