Trinity Alps Unified School District

Your child’s school has partnered with The Center for Oral Health's Early Smiles California program to provide dental screenings to your child at no charge to you! The service will be performed by a licensed dental hygienist. The hygienist will screen your child’s teeth, provide a fluoride varnish treatment to help prevent tooth decay, and navigate your child to dental care (if needed). If your child is eligible, the hygienist will complete the Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment form and submit the form to your child’s school. You will receive your child’s screening results. Your child will also receive a free toothbrush kit. It's open to all 9-12 students at all 3 sites. Here is the link to the consent form: https://5il.co/2k9k2

On Wednesday, March 27th wear BLUE to show your support for friends and loved ones with Autism! In observance of World Autism Awareness Day on April 2nd.

Hinu Smith, a member of the Ho Chunk Nation from Wisconsin, recently visited THS to present to students in Caitlin Montgomery’s and Tom Williams’s History classes, as well as Richard Ferguson’s AP Government class. During her presentation, students were captivated and actively engaged in discussions surrounding tribal sovereignty and its relationship to the federal government. Smith's insight into her heritage provided students with a deeper understanding of indigenous perspectives and the ongoing struggle for recognition and autonomy. Through interactive dialogue, students gained valuable insights into the complexities of indigenous governance and the importance of respecting tribal sovereignty. In another significant development, Hinu Smith had the honor of meeting with Chairman Chief Sonny Hayward of the “Nor Rel Muck Wintu” tribe. This meeting provided an opportunity for both individuals to share personal life experiences and tribal histories, fostering unity and mutual respect between their respective communities. Through the facilitation of TAUSD, including Dr. Corey Helgesen, THS Principal and Associate Superintendent, and Mr. Jaime Green, Superintendent of TAUSD, these connections were made possible, demonstrating the commitment to fostering meaningful relationships and cultural understanding within the broader community.

On Monday, March 25th, be sure to wear green to show your support for friends and loved ones with Cerebral Palsy!

Hello Trinity families! Every year our district works on revising and updating the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP).
