Attention Parents of students with Special
Needs: A new newsletter has been created as a resource to assist you. This is the first edition of the Parent Mentor / Exceptional News. Click here to view a copy of this resource. Attention 7th grade parents….FYI – ACT, SAT, and TIP In the seventh grade, students may apply to take either the SAT or the ACT at any time that it is offered. Applications are made directly through the testing service for a specified fee. Scores are reported to you individually and to Trickum, but they do not become part of the student’s permanent record. The scores dissolve after one year. Helpful information may be obtained online at www.collegeboard.com or phone 609-771-7600. Additionally, the Talent Identification Program (TIP) is available to ranking seventh and eighth grade students. In Georgia, it is administered by Duke University and requires a 95th percentile score on an achievement test. Its purpose is to identify the finest mathematical and verbal students using SAT and ACT scores. TIP participants have an additional fee that includes the cost of registration for the ACT or SAT tests. Comparison scores are compiled through Duke University and reported to parents. An awards ceremony for qualifying TIP participants is limited to seventh grade students only. Applicants may access the program directly with Duke University at www.tip.duke.edu or phone 919-668-9100. To register for TIP online, a student must be at least 13 years old. The two deadlines for TIP registration are October 3, 2011 for the December 3rd (SAT) or December 10th (ACT) testing and November 1, 2011 for January 28th (SAT) or February 11th (ACT) testing. Trickum neither endorses nor participates in TIP except to make this information available to you. If you choose to register your child, you will need to secure and complete an application independently. There are TIP brochures available at the Trickum reception desk. Additionally, you can register for the SAT or ACT through the counseling office at Parkview. ParenTVision: It's a new world. See it from your child's eyes.

The GCPS Parent Portal allows parents to track their
student's progress throughout the year. It provides you with attendance
information, grades, test history, etc. If you signed up last year, you
are still registered. Your same email address and your password should
work fine. If you have not signed up for this parent service, please
stop by the school to do so. You must sign up in person. Also, if you
are registered for the Parent Portal, you will be receiving Monday Mail.
We use the same email address to send out this weekly newsletter from
our principal. Stay informed by being signed up for both!

FROM THE CLINIC
-
Please be aware of the following:
If your child has the need
to take medication at school please remember that students are not
allowed to transport medication to school. All medication needs to be
brought to the school by an adult in the original container and signed
into the clinic in order for it to be administered by the school.
Medication can not be accepted in envelopes, baggies, unmarked bottles,
etc. This practice is in place for the safety of all students. Thank you
for your understanding and support! Trickum Outdoor Theater Project Click below for a donation website where faculty,
staff, parents, and community members can contribute. We will be seeking
business contributions as well. Please help us spread the word to our
community. We anticipate that our elementary parents will take a special
