Dear TOCS Families,

I’m very thankful, yet again, that God has blessed us this year with in-person instruction, a healthy start, all of you, faithful, dedicated teachers, and so many wonderful opportunities! I hope that you and your student(s) had a restful and enjoyable summer break together. Most forms this year can be uploaded through the family portal, but we do need a paper copy of birth certificates, social security cards, and immunization forms for all kindergarteners and any new students. If you have not yet turned in all of these, please get this taken care of immediately. After school program for K-8th graders will begin Monday, August 14th from 3:30-5:30 for families who need this service.

Please contact the school office to let them know in advance if you will be needing this service on a regular basis for planning purposes.

We also need all parents to stay in their vehicle while students are loading to keep the carline moving consistently; we have a very large side parking lot where smaller children can be assisted with buckling up. Hot lunch will begin Monday, August 14th, so for those of you interested, please be sure to return the menu with your selections and money in an envelope with your child’s name on it by this Friday. The 8th graders will be selling ice cream and sweet treats every Thursday (beginning this Thursday) this school year, and the P.T.F. will be selling popcorn on the last Friday of each month. All items are $1, and the money will be used to help offset the cost of the 8th grade end of the year trip.

Please know that each of your families is prayed for daily and that we are here to support you and yours spiritually and academically. Please call the office if you have a prayer request that you would like added to the

“School Family Prayer Concerns” section of the News in a Nutshell. I know that I speak on behalf of the TOCS faculty, staff, and other families when I say that we appreciate your prayers as well.

In His Service,
Amy Pfaff-Biebel
