Friday, January 11 is the last day of the second grading period.   Report cards and life skill achievement reports will be issued the following Friday.
 
We have made a few revisions to the parent/student handbook that take effect with the second semester.   The changes are included in this week’s envelope.   Please review the updates. 
 
Please join us Sunday, January 20 for our Open House Celebration and Spaghetti Dinner.   The open house is a great time for current families and all members of the public to tour the school, visit the book fair, and enjoy a delicious dinner.  We encourage families to invite friends to the open house who might be interested in joining our family.   Visitors will have a chance to meet the teachers and students and learn more about our programs.  
 
We will begin registration for the next school year around the time of the open house.   We are working on development of an on-line registration process that should reduce the amount of paperwork required for registration and student records.  We will have more information soon about the new registration process. 
 
Fifth grade students will visit the high school Tuesday, January 15 for Science Day.
 
The next Home and School Association meeting is Monday, January 14 at 7:00 pm.

There will be no school January 21 and 22.  Monday the 21^st is Martin Luther King Day.   Teachers will attend a professional development program on Tuesday the 22^nd.

Thank you for making TCCES a generous and loving community.   Our Toy and Food Drive was a success.   We collected about 400 toys and more than 1,300 food items for distribution through the Share-A-Christmas program.  The collection during our Christmas show raised $1,027 for the Tuscarawas County Homeless Shelter.   We are blessed!
 












Because our food and toy drive was a success, the top classes got to "slime" Mr. Ritzert as their reward!












 
What we have called the “school” mass in the past is now our weekly “family” mass.   Families are invited to join us each week for mass and to sit with your children.   You may sit with the class or directly behind the students.   The family that prays together stays together.   This small change is one way we want to work together as a family to promote faith development.
