Dear HT Parents and Guardians, Holy Trinity has been preparing for the likelihood of Governor Pritzker’s order for school buildings to remain closed for the remainder of the academic year. While we realize that learning without the personal contact of proximity is much more challenging for both teachers and students, our goal is to prevent learning loss and enable students to complete the school year successfully—and maintain their GPAs and scholarships. The effective e-learning that has been in place since March 16 at HT is evidence that we can do this! Our partnership with you is more critical than ever as [...]

From the Principal We hope you are well and enjoying Spring Break! It is very different as there is no travel involved or special activities outside of your home this year. However students still have a break from the daily routine of school, and this year, you have a break from helping monitor their work habits. If you have signed up with your parent login for Schoology you will notice that we have continued to send something out each day this week, even though we are not in session. We know that this has been difficult for our students and want [...]

From the Principal Dear HT Families, We approach our Easter celebration this year different from all others in our experience. More than ever, it is a time for prayer, reflection, and hope as we shelter with our families. Our thoughts and prayers remain with all of you as we are each challenged in different ways by this pandemic. Those of us who are well and safely at home owe special gratitude to those who are keeping us secure and functioning--people like the healthcare workers, first responders, transportation workers, postal workers, delivery people, and grocery store employees. The safety and health of [...]

As many of you and your students have experienced, Schoology has been struggling to keep up with its sudden growth in demand.

To summarize, they are increasing their monitoring, streamlining their processes, and working hard to increase their capacity to help minimize disruptions moving forward. As Schoology works to catch up with demand, we are also working as a team to ensure HT students have the flexibility and resources [...]

From the Principal Welcome to April, HT families! We hope this month continues to find you well and safe as we continue to adjust to our new reality. We are especially grateful for the gift of technology. While we certainly miss seeing everyone in person, I am very proud of the exceptional job faculty, staff, and students continue to do teaching and learning. We are aware that the strain on all online systems is great, which leads to periodic interruptions in service, both with Schoology and with some of your internet providers. Our e-learning system is set up so that students [...]

From the Principal Good day, HT Families, At this time, we have not had any word of any members of our HT family taken ill or diagnosed with the coronavirus. In our current climate, no news is good news!   During our first week of e-learning, we found 100% of students had the ability to sign in and work. The rate of completion of all work for all classes was well over 90%. If your student fails to submit work for 3 or more classes, you will receive an attendance message, even if they signed in for the day in the morning. [...]
