and will be played at the St. Bernard Middle School football stadium.

We apologize for any inconvenience this change causes and we appreciate your patience as we deal with issues caused by construction to our school!  New sports fields and a new building will be worth the issues we have to work out this school year!

 IMPORTANT INFORMATION you need to be aware of at Trist to ensure our students have a success year:

• Construction on our classroom addition is continuing at TMS.  We appreciate the patience of all of our students, parents, and faculty members for any inconvenience our progress is causing.  It will be well worth it when we have 8 more classrooms and new Science and Computer Labs.  However, we will not be able to practice or play games on our campus for football, softball, baseball, and soccer.  Information on the location of practices, games, and some special events will be sent home and will be posted on our school website.

•  TMS September FOOTBALL GAMES will be held on September 14, 21, and 28.  The games on the 14^th and the 21^st will be held at Chalmette High School.  The game on September 28 will be held at St. Bernard Middle School (this is a change from the September calendar sent home on 8/31/2017.  The September games will begin at 6:00 p.m.  All St. Bernard Parish Middle School FOOTBALL game tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for students (school-aged children).  Our football games are fundraisers used to purchase team uniforms, helmets, equipment, and to pay for game officials. 

• BREAKFAST - If your child is dropped off at school by a parent or guardian and wants to eat breakfast, he or she should be in the building no later than 7:45 a.m.  Many students are being dropped off too late to allow them to eat breakfast.

• DRESS CODE REMINDERS  - Students must be in proper uniform daily.  This includes wearing the school-issued ID card.  Girls are allowed to wear SOLID COLOR headbands only – no bandanas, animal prints or flowers.  Also, please remember that students grow quickly during the middle school years.  Please check skirts as girls’ skirts must be knee length. 

• STUDENT AGENDAS – Parents should check and sign their child’s Student Agenda book nightly!  This is an excellent communication tool. 

• ATTENDANCE – It is important that your child is in school daily and on time.  Students who are tardy often have a difficult time adjusting the remainder of the day. Please create a schedule that allows your children to be at school on time!

• STUDENT CHECK-OUTS – The latest that a child can be checked-out of school is 2:45 p.m.  However, please refrain from checking out your child from school except for emergencies!  To achieve academic success, we need your child in class and prepared to learn.    

• CELL PHONES – Cell phones cannot be turned on at school.  Students are not allowed to use cell phones to call or text parents during the school day.  The school is not responsible for damaged, lost or stolen cell phones.  We have office phones available for student use when necessary. 

• SOCIAL MEDIA USE – Please monitor your child’s use of social media.  Become informed about how social media is used by predators to target children AND that there are age restrictions for many of the websites and social apps your child may be using. 

• PARENT OFFICE CALLS - We have had an extremely high number of parents calling the school office each day asking that their child be given messages.  Unless there is an emergency, please refrain from doing this.  This requires our staff to interrupt learning time. Also, we have two lunch periods this year due to construction and limited space.  Therefore, during both lunch periods we cannot make all calls to students calling them to the office as this would interrupt students not at lunch and in class. 

• School calendars are sent home monthly and can be found posted on our school website at htttp://trist.sbpsb.org

• Our district ROBOCALL system is used to provide parents/guardians with information such as school closings and special events.  Please make sure our office has the most up-to-date and accurate emergency phone number(s) to ensure that you receive all important information.
