Hello BT Families and Happy Friday!
What a great week back from Spring Break we’ve had! What started off as a stormy Wednesday, with the power going out at the start of school, ended up as the most beautiful day. Starting Mass in the darkness with just candlelight and everyone being really quiet and straining to listen to the words was a pretty powerful experience that we were all able to share together. A huge KUDOS to the EDGE group and their leaders. They did an amazing job in the dark with one of the best songs we’ve had. After the power had returned at the end of Mass, we were able to kick off our last school-wide service project for the year, Miles to Go. Our Miles to Go-Getters board of student leaders did a wonderful job presenting our project and we were so blessed to have Miles and his mom, Danielle, join us to share their message. Please look for more information in the Friday Flyer about this project and help us spread love, “one bag at a time.”
Another great part of our week took place on Thursday morning as we said “Welcome” to our BT Class of 2022, with our first-ever Middle School preview day. It was so exciting to see our future BT Middle Schoolers and their families together yesterday. We learned about the big differences between Elementary and Middle School, went on a tour to see Middle School in action, and ended with a party in the Parish Hall. We have some pictures from the day and took a group photo on the stage – it will be fun to look at that picture and compare it to their 8th grade Cap and Gown picture. Thank you to those of you who came out and helped us make new memories together.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Take Care,
Megan Losito

How FACTS Works!
What you need to know
What is FACTS
Facts is the parent company of Renweb (our school information system provider) and the tuition management provider for the Diocese of Orlando. They will be collecting our registration fees for us this year.
Why Use FACTS
FACTS will provide us the opportunity to help parents stick to their payment plans by sending out invoices for monthly payments and statements. Payments will be made directly to FACTS online. They offer a variety of payment options including credit card, debit card, check by mail or automated withdrawal from your checking account.
How Does it Work?
If your fees were not paid in full at the registration meeting, your family has been entered into a FACTS payment plan. Scrip credits, credit balances, and parish subsidies (agreed to and signed off by Father Pat) will be deducted from your fees and the balance will be entered into the plan.
For example:
Suzie will be in first grade in the fall. Her registration fee for the 2019-2020 school year is $700. She had a scrip credit of $200 which leaves her with a balance of $500 which will be divided into 5 payments of $100 each. These payments are due March 15, April 5, May 5, June 5 and July 5. This plan will have the fees paid before school starts in August.
Each month for five months, the parent (usually mom, unless otherwise indicated) will be emailed an invoice 10 days before the due date. The parent will also receive a monthly statement.
If your family has a payment plan, you should have already received your first invoice that is due March 15.
Questions? We are hoping for a smooth transition but we are learning along with you and there are bound to be a few bumps in the road. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call the school office.
The Leader In Me – Habit 6: Synergize Leadership Roles at Home
Each new month brings opportunities for academic growth and growth in all areas of development. Although children must be knowledgeable when they graduate, they must also be healthy, engaged, responsible, and caring people.
One of the best ways to help your child realize his or her worth and leadership potential is to provide an opportunity to lead. As a Leader in Me School, Blessed Trinity offers students leadership roles as a way to teach:
Responsibility.
Leadership.
Contribution.
Leadership roles can also be used at home. To begin:
1. Talk with your child about the leadership role he or she might be interested in at home.
2. Discuss why he or she is interested in the role. Ask what leadership qualities your child has that will help. Ask how he or she will handle homework or other commitments with this new-role responsibility.
3. Together, discuss, write, and sign the paper detailing the leadership behavior and expectations of the role.
Give your child a week or so to adjust and then discuss how it’s going. This may open a conversation on how to handle things that are too easy or too difficult.
Express appreciation and celebrate success!
