Success at TRI-S!

I would like to thank our community for coming to TRI-S yesterday! We had a tremendous turnout with over 1350 students and parents completing our walk-thru registration process. We worked hard throughout the course of the year planning and organizing the logistics and flow and we hope your experience was positive.  

 

I would like to thank all volunteers who helped with TRI-S. I am deeply appreciative of the parents who give their time to help make our school a better place.

 

Late Registration

If you did not complete TRI-S yesterday, then you will have to attend Late Registration on Monday prior to the start of school. We will open Late Registration at 6:30am on Monday, August 25.  

 

School Starts on Monday

As a reminder, school begins on Monday! For the past couple of years, school has started on a Wednesday, but this year our first day begins on Monday, August 25 at 8:00 am. Please make sure you communicate the start day for this year with your student.
