Parents of Trinity Students—For the school year parents are asked to check their TLS FastDirect account for a message from the Board of Parish Education. We have modified the process for payment of tuition assistance for member students. A fully completed and signed application form for each student and a covenant of compliance form for each family must be submitted by Friday, May 20 in order to begin tuition assistance payments to TLS in June. Application and covenant forms, as well as Board of Parish Education policies for tuition assistance are also available on the information table in the narthex. Completed application forms may be turned in to the church office, the Board of Parish Education mailbox in the hall outside the church office, or to any board member. Please contact Andrew Sporleder (395-9905), Dean Hopkins (636-2804), or Sara Hartman (635-8633) with questions. Thank you for your assistance.
