What is the Parent Support Group (PSG)?
The Parent Support Group (PSG) was founded by a group of parents who LOVE and support Trinity Christian School (TCS). Their goal is to enhance the TCS student and staff experience, while at the same time, being a liaison between the parents and school administration. Parents and staff meet monthly to discuss and plan student, staff, and family activities.
Throughout the year PSG earn funds through student activities and fundraisers. These funds are then used to help fund special projects and to provide incentives for students and staff alike.
The PSG, along with parents and children, show appreciation to the staff for five days during “Teacher Appreciation Week.”
Who is welcome to attend the PSG meetings?
Parents and staff from the ECE, elementary, middle, and high school are welcome to attend the meetings and bring fresh ideas and concerns. Extended family members are also welcome and encouraged to attend any of the PSG meetings.
Agendas and minutes of all meetings are made available to all attending the meeting, providing the school office has a valid email address and phone number.
Not able to attend a meeting in person?
Should you not be able to attend a meeting in person because of family obligations, you can attend the meeting via ZOOM.
Email and text messages are sent to all parents prior to the scheduled meeting with the ZOOM link.
Please attend and participate as we continue our momentum in supporting Trinity Christian School.
