TCCS ELEMENTARY GUIDE 23-24

ELEMENTARY 2023-2024

From The Principal's Desk...

Welcome to our TCCS Community (2023-24 edition)!

For many of you, welcome back to what we are building here at TCCS. For new families, welcome to TCCS, where we partner with families to train up Spiritual Champions for Jesus Christ.

As our enrollment continues to increase, TCCS Elementary has hired three new classroom teachers. Welcome to Mrs. Katie Lyons (K), Mrs. Kristina Carrigan (3rd Grade), and Miss Leah Griess (5th Grade). We will also have Instructional Aides (IA) serving alongside each of our K-6 classroom teachers. Our IA program has been expanded from primary grades to every elementary classroom.

I also look forward to seeing families at Friday night football games on our new TURF FIELD! Our new field will benefit our entire campus tremendously.

Finally, the information enclosed in this FlipBook (Programs, Calendar, School Supplies, etc.) should have everyone feeling confident about tackling a new school year. I look forward to working together in advancing God’s Kingdom here in North County.

Thank you for your partnership,

Curt Greer Elementary Principal
