The TCCES Helping Hands Service Team

announces the 5th annual

TOY DRIVE CHALLENGE

The challenge is to collect 600 new toys, new coloring books, and new crayons for the
Share-A-Christmas program

Help us reach our goals to help Share-A-Christmas and local families!

ALL DONATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4.
 

Because of coronavirus restrictions we can accept only NEW toys, coloring books, and crayons.  Please: no used toys or books

Bring your donations to the school and drop them off at the school entrance (turn-a-round doors).

Tuscarawas Central Catholic Elementary School will be closed Monday and Tuesday.   These will be considered “calamity days” with no on-line instruction taking place.   There will be no school Monday and Tuesday at TCCES because of the large number of staff members and students in isolation and quarantine.   This makes it impossible to maintain our regular schedule with adequate staffing.   In-person classes will resume Tuesday, December 1.

The break will provide an opportunity for all staff and students in isolation or quarantine to complete the required COVID safety protocol and for the thorough cleaning and disinfecting of the building. 

During this break, please continue to follow the state and health department COVID advisories:
Avoid unnecessary gatherings with people who don’t live in your home.
Avoid unnecessary travel.   IF YOU TRAVEL TO AN AREA CONSIDERED A HOTSPOT BY THE CDC YOUR STUDENTS MUST QUARANTINE FOR 14 DAYS WHEN YOU RETURN. 
Continue to practice social distancing, wearing masks in public places, hand washing, etc.

Notes:   Pie pick-up will be held as scheduled Tuesday afternoon, November 24,  at the St. Joseph Church Family Life Center.   Please wear a mask and maintain social distancing.

Students not in quarantine can continue youth sports following the safety procedures put in place.

Tuscarawas Central Catholic Elementary School is dedicated to building disciples of Christ, providing an excellent academic program integrated with Catholic teaching, and promoting life long service to church and community.

The Tuscarawas County Catholic Schools Board of Trustees would like to thank all of those who have taken their time to vote in the recent election of trustees.   Elected to the board is Justine Fredericks.   Re-elected to a second term is Lisa Douglass.   We would also like to thank all our nominees for their willingness to serve on the board.   In addition to Lisa and Justine, other elected board members are Dave Garbrandt, Frank Bachman, Karen Dick, and Shelagh Pruni.   The board also includes the local pastors and works with the school administrations to govern our local schools.
