- School Hours: The main entrance of the school opens at 8:00am. Classes begin with morning announcements at 8:15am. The school day concludes at 3:00pm with afternoon announcements and dismissal.
- Parental Communication and Involvement: Trinity`s website (TrinityLI.org) provides constant updates to parents on school news, announcements, class notes, and more. Trinity also provides frequent updates every week on our official Facebook page.

Students in 8th-grade Algebra and Living Environment take the New York State Regents exams at the conclusion of the courses to obtain high school credit. 8th-grade Spanish students participate in the annual FLACS exam.

School Reviews

As the senior pastor at Trinity I can vouch from the inside that Trinity is an incredible place of learning and love. Trinity is not the first Lutheran school I have worked at, but it is the most outstanding. We have caring teachers who invest in the lives of their students. You will find no better place to ensure that your child grows both academically and spiritually.
Endorse Trinity Lutheran School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
