Student & Parent Platforms
TADS Educate – This is our parent information portal & grading platform for all grade levels. After you are enrolled and attending Trinity you will receive a detailed email with log-in and guidance on utilizing the Educate parent portal. This portal is where you will access your student’s grades and attendance records, along with other important resources.
SeeSaw – ECE to grade 5 will utilize the SeeSaw platform as a supplement to the teaching experience in the classroom.
The majority of our teachers are certified on the SeeSaw platform, and student and parent training is available through the school office. All technology serves as an in-class tool to supplement education but is only one of a variety of delivery mechanisms of instruction.
G-Suite for Education – Grades 3-12 will be utilizing Google’s Workspace as a supplement to the classical teaching experience in the classroom. This includes a google email that is a part of Trinity’s G-suite account. Grade 3-4 student emails are only used to log in to google workspace. Student emails will be released closer to the start of the school year. More detail on class-specific technology use will be communicated through your student’s teacher.
Over 95% of our upper school staff are certified on the Google Workspace platform, and student and parent training will be offered. Log-in information for this program will also be emailed to you shortly.
Trinity provides tech help for parents to navigate these technologies. If you are ever in need of assistance, simply contact the school office.
