As part of the second-grade Financial Literacy Unit in Social Studies, the students worked together on a project to raise money and spend money for a cause. We had a bake sale and used they money we made to buy plants to beautify the grotto at the church and the school grounds. Thanks to everyone who helped our cause especially Mrs. Tasha McConnell from McConnell’s Landscaping!

Congratulations to all the second grade students from Immaculate Conception and Sacred Heart who received their First Holy Communion Sunday, May 1.  God bless them!

Our study of the Theological Virtues is shifting to the virtue of Love.   We define love as the gift to love God above all things and to love our neighbors as ourselves.   Love is an act of will, not always a feeling.   Love prompts us to act for the good of the other.    We’re sending home a flyer with more insight about the virtue of Love.

On behalf of Fr. Coning, Fr. Hatfield, and the search committee,  we are excited to announce that Jessica DeBois will be the Tuscarawas County Catholic Schools elementary school principal in the 2022-23 school year.  For the past six years, she has served as the fourth grade teacher at Tuscarawas Central Catholic Elementary School.  She served three years at Immaculate Conception and TCCES as the School Administrative Manager and worked several years as the Physical Education teacher at Immaculate Conception.   She has an additional nine year of experience as a fifth grade teacher in Illinois.  Most importantly,  Mrs. DeBois is a person of strong faith and is dedicated to Catholic education and our schools. With her experience as a teacher and administrator, and her knowledge of our schools, she is an excellent choice to be our principal.  We are looking forward to a smooth transition and bright future!

Welcome to Journeys in Faith.   In this series we talk to people in our community about their faith journey and ways to build a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.   In this segment we hear from Mary Maresch of St. Joseph Church.

Your FACTS Family Portal is now the one-source for all student and family information AND all financial accounts.   If you have not done so already, please use the instructions on the other page of this flyer to create your Family Portal account.   In the Family Portal, you will be able to see announcements, lunch menu, and more.   The Family Portal will also provide access to progress reports, report cards, and other important information.  You can even pre-order lunch in your Family Portal.  The Family Portal will also provide access to tuition payment plans.   You must create your Family Portal to access and create tuition payment plans.  There is no longer a separate log-in for tuition payment.   For more instructions to set up your Family Portal, click HERE.

After Creating your Family Portal, please complete two additional tasks!

Click on “Web Forms” on the left-hand side of the page and complete the forms that appear.   The forms include emergency medical contacts, allergies, and other very important information.  THIS INFORMATION MUST BE COMPLETE BY SEPTEMBER 2.  When updating the completing the information that appears in Web Forms, please do NOT change the student’s school assigned email address.   If no email appears for the student, leave it blank.

Click on the Finance tab.   This will allow you to set-up or adjust your tuition payment plan.   Tuition payment plans must be set-up before actual payments begin.  We will use facts to issue bills for after-school care, lunch extras, and other items.

It is the policy of the Tuscarawas County Catholic Schools that students and adults in our elementary schools wear a face covering when the COVID rate of spread in Tuscarawas County reaches 750 or more per 100,000 people. This statistic is reported weekly by the Ohio Department of Health.

The mask requirement is one tool we can use to keep our children safe, healthy, and in-school.    Students must stay home if not feeling well, even if exhibiting only minor symptoms such as a headache or runny nose.

1. The schools shall continue to encourage proper hygiene with frequent washing of hands and use of hand sanitizer.
2. We will maintain the best ventilation possible that includes use of ventilation systems with air purifiers installed.
3. We will maintain the recommended three-foot social distancing to the greatest extent possible, adjusting schedules for lunch, Mass, and other activities as necessary.
4. Visitors to the buildings will be limited.
5. Students must continue to use their own water bottles.  Drinking fountains are to be used only to refill water bottles.
6. Masks are strongly encouraged at all times.  Masks are required for all persons at the elementary schools when the rate of transmission of COVID in Tuscarawas County reaches 750 cases per 100,000 people. The rate of transmission is reported by the state and county health department each week.  When this same Tuscarawas County metric drops below 750 cases per 100,000, the mask requirement will be rescinded. 

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and patience as we navigate this evolving pandemic, working together to keep Tuscarawas County Catholic School students, staff, and families safe and in school!

The CDC and Ohio Department of Health recently adopted new quarantine guidelines for persons who test positive for COVID or have been exposed to someone with COVID. The new guidelines shorten the recommended quarantine times. TCCES will follow the new recommendations. The guidelines are HERE
