  • Permian Basin Scholastic Chess Championship

    Scott Ohlman
    Trinity hosted the 2025 Permian Basin Scholastic Chess Championship on Saturday, April 12th.  The event had 88 participants (including 16 Trinity Students).
     
    In the Kindergarten-Grade 6 division, Chase Stelmaschuk went undefeated (6 wins and 1 draw for 6.5 points) to come in second place and win a nice trophy!  Other top finishers for Trinity were: Mason Midkiff tied for fifth place with 5 points; Ryan Hart tied for sixteenth place with 4.5 points; Jaxon Willman, Evan Holmes, and Charlie Schmalbach all tied for eighteenth place with 4 points.  Trinity tied for second place with MCA and Hillander in the team division, but failed to get the plaque because of the tie-breakers.  First place went to the Homeschoolers.
     
    In the Grades 7-12 division, Ollie Mathweson also went undefeated (3 wins and 2 draws) to tie for first place.  In the tie-breaker, Ollie came in second place and won a nice trophy.  Trinity won the third place plaque in the team division with Homeschool coming in first, and MCA coming in second.
     
    Many thanks to the Trinity parent/faculty volunteers that helped make this event a huge success.


  • Lower School Testing April 28 - May 12

    Brian Peters, Head of Lower School
    Beginning on Monday students in Lower School will be administered standardized tests.  The assessments given this year will be the same as in the past, but the testing window will be extended.  This extension allows more flexibility in meeting accommodations for students.  It also enables teachers to be better able to continue regular instruction throughout the testing window.

    Students in grades 1 through 4 will be taking modules from the CTP5.  The results of these assessments enable us to track group and individual progress as well as inform instruction for teachers.  Students in kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 4th grade will be administered the OLSAT (Otis Lennon School Ability Test).

    Our testing schedule is as follows:

    There is nothing for your child to do to prepare aside from getting a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast to start the day. You will be notified about the results of these assessments when they become available.

    Thank you for your continued support.
