| One Team, One Goal...A Community of Engaged Learners Dear Parents, We have had a wonderful school year and I am sad to see it come to an end. I am, however, excited to see the growth that our students have made. As we approach the short summer, I wish you all a safe and fun time with your family and friends! I will be working with the district as Tritt hosts a few camps and Extended School Year for students throughout the district. I will be anxious to get our students back and hear about their summer events! Please see the message from the Academic Division of the CCSD below. Sincerely,
Dr. Tricia Patterson Principal

We are very proud to feature Melanie’s artwork on the cover. The Tritt Elementary PTA would like to apologize to Melanie Zhang for the oversight of her name being left off the yearbook as the winner of the cover design contest. Thank you Melanie for all your hard work and congratulations on this honor! To acknowledge our mistake, we are asking that all students bring in their yearbook by Monday, May 2nd, 2016 so we may place a label on the yearbook recognizing Melanie Zhang as the artist of the front cover.
