Trinity Alps Unified School District

Dear Etna and Trinity High School Parents and Communities, It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the cancellation of tonight's football game. This difficult decision was made due to threats directed at the game by the Trinity fan base. The safety of our students, staff, and community is our top priority, and we are taking this precautionary measure to ensure everyone's well-being. Law enforcement confirmed that it was safe to open both Etna and Trinity High Schools this morning and both schools are working closely with law enforcement. We understand the disappointment and inconvenience this may cause, but we believe this is the best course of action given the circumstances. Our school administration and local law enforcement are working together to address the situation, and we will keep you updated as more information becomes available. Thank you for your understanding and support during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school administration. This decision did not come easily. The final outcome of the game is pending the resolution of the law enforcement investigation. Sincerely, Etna and Trinity Alps Administration

Kyle Hailey will be teaching an adult education art class from 6-8pm Wednesdays starting September 18th until December 4th in his room at the High School Campus. This is a class that is free to enroll, but may have some materials costs. Here is the description of the class: Do you want to create art in a fun space? We would love to see you down at the art class at the THS campus. We plan to have an open studio for you to work for a few hours with other artists. You can choose to work independently in the class or work on the project Mr. Hailey has for the night. We want the community to feel tied to our local high school campus.

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
