The Catholic School's Office has released the FACTS forms for the 2021-2022 school year. These forms must be submitted by February 19, 2021. This form is required to be considered for any type of financial aid. You can find a link to the form on our Home Page under Quick Links or www.choosecatholicschools.org.

Dear True Cross Families and Faculty: In keeping with True Cross’s practices in response to COVID-19, we are notifying you that today an individual was lab-confirmed with COVID-19 and may have been in contact with students or staff as late as December 24, 2020. Due to the significance of this potential wide-spread exposure to our students, families, and staff I have decided it is best to delay our school’s in-person reopening until Monday, January 11, 2021. No staff or student activities of any kind should take place at the school until this date. We understand that this may cause you and your family an inconvenience, but in the interest of keeping our school open for face to face learning throughout the second half of the school year it is best that we take this proactive preventative measure at this time. After careful consideration, we have determined that we will be conducting remote learning from January 5 – January 8, 2021.  Details of remote learning will be distributed by teachers prior to Tuesday, January 5, 2021. We ask that you continue to monitor your health for COVID-19 symptoms and contact your medical provider if you have any concerns. Thank you and may God bless you, Mrs. Agrella
