Good Afternoon Senior Parents. I wanted to reach out today to let you know that local scholarship packets have been distributed to students. Please make it a point to look over this with your child. We have a wonderful community that supports our youth with numerous scholarship opportunities and we need to make sure we take full advantage of all the support they are offering. If your child did not get one, copies are in the office for pick-up. I will also be posting them in the Trimble Triple E google classroom. Packets are due back on April 14th. If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out to me at 502-255-5100 ext. 2004 or by email at whitney.farmer@trimble.kyschools.us. Have a wonderful day and Go Raiders!
Don't forget to join us this evening for our 2024 scheduling parent information night.

Good Morning Parents. If your child is attending the incentive trip for either the junior high or high school, you will need to fill out a waiver form. We have paper copies in the office, but the simplest way to complete this is to follow the link below and submit it. Once you do this they will have an electronic copy on file at Defy. Thanks for all your help and let me know if you have any questions or need assistance. Link: https://defy.com/defy-louisville/

Good Morning Senior Parents! I wanted to reach out this morning and let you know that we met with seniors yesterday during school and discussed many upcoming deadlines for them in regards to post-secondary education. Topics of discussion included: local scholarship packets will be coming out next week and will be due the week we return from spring break, it is important to develop a brag sheet (honors, activities, etc.) to accompany their scholarship applications, letters of recommendations will be required for some of the applications (ask in advance), students should be narrowing their decision down to their school of choice (many have a deadline of commitment of May 1st) and looking for individual scholarship opportunities provided by the school beyond the general scholarship fund, FAFSA must be completed, students must have at least 4 credits in both English and Math (most students must pass both courses this year to graduate), students need to compile a list of scholarships already received for both the scholarship application and senior awards night, once students have committed to a school please make sure they are completing their housing requests as they will fill up, and also please encourage your child to check their email and the triple e google classroom page daily as we enter March! I know this is a lot, but I wanted to keep parents updated!
