From the Principal. . .

As we enter the month of September, we will find our athletics, clubs, and activities in full swing! Students are enjoying the extra opportunities they are given here at TRMS to engage in fun activities. For those not yet involved, encourage your student to find something they like and join the party!

Parent-teacher conferences are coming up soon—this is a valuable opportunity to connect about your child’s progress. More details will be shared in the coming days, so please stay tuned! However, don’t feel like you need to wait until conferences if you need assistance beforehand. At anytime, you can reach out to teachers, counselors, or admin – we are here to help!

We appreciate all of your support in helping make Trail Ridge a great place for students!

Sincerely,

Mr. Cloke
