Where do you even begin to announce the retirement of such a legacy as Phyllis Mitchiner? She has been the welcoming face of True Cross Catholic School for 46 years. Not only has Ms. Phyllis devoted these countless years to our school, but she also attended True Cross Catholic School herself, as did her own children.  We understand that it is difficult to imagine True Cross Catholic School without Mrs. Mitchiner in the front office, but rest assured that Ms. Phyllis will maintain her constant presence at our school as she stays involved in the role of “MeeMaw”  to her grandchildren and great grandchildren who are current students here. Please feel free to leave a message for Mrs. Mitchiner with the Quick Link to the left on our home page - "Messages for Mrs. Mitchiner"

Our Family Handbook has been updated by Mrs. Agrella and is available through Quick Links on our home page...

IRIS is a communication system used for broadcasting alerts to our families.  These alerts will be sent through emails and in the case of emergencies through phone calls.  It is very important that we have this on file for you so that you will receive communication from the school.  With our weather being uncertain, it is imperative that this form is returned by tomorrow.  Many have already turned it in.  If you have not, please take the time to do so.  You can email it or print it out and turn it in to your child's teacher tomorrow. The form is available under Quick Links for Crusaders.

On Monday, August 21, 2017 students at TCCS will view the live broadcast of this historic event. If you would like for your student to go outside and witness the event in person, you will need to send the correct solar eclipse glasses along with the signed permission slip. Again, both correct glasses and the signed permission form must be with the student. The permission slip is available under our Quick Links for Crusader Tab to the left or click the Title above.
