Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
August 31, 2023
Dear Parents,
Welcome Back to the 2023-2024 school year!! The building is once again filled with laughter and smiles as we welcomed back to school Grades K - 8. On Tuesday, we will welcome our Pre-K students. It is my hope that everyone enjoyed their summer and made many fond memories!
Today's newsletter is filled with important information so I ask that you read through it thoroughly.
Important School Updates:
- The Our Lady of Good Counsel School Family Handbook can be found below. Please read through it carefully as changes have been made in regards to the Discipline Policy and Early Dismissals.
- One Agreement Form needs to be signed by each student and their parents. This form will cover the Family Handbook, Acceptable Use Policy and Chromebook Use Policy. This form can be found below. All signed forms are due back to school by Friday, September 8th.
- Band participation and Instrumental Lessons are offered for students in Grades 4 - 8. Please see the attached letter from Mr. Meany below and return the form to school if your child is interested.
- Below you will find the 2023-2024 Homeroom Letter. If you are interested in being a Homeroom Parent for your child's class please fill out the form and return it to your child's teacher. Homeroom Fees are due by December.
Thank you for your constant support and prayers for our school. I encourage you to continue to support our work as we advance our mission to provide a transformative education steeped in academics and faith to our deserving students. There is no greater investment for forming our future saints than a Catholic education!
Please carefully review this week's newsletter for many reminders and updates. We thank you for entrusting your children to us and for the sacrifices you make each day to send your child(ren) to Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic School.
God's peace,
Mrs. Barbara Riley

NEW EARLY DISMISSAL POLICY
Early Dismissal
Please email your teacher(s) by 12:00 PM if your child needs to dismiss early. If you are not aware of the early dismissal until after that time, please call the school office 215-357-1300 Ext. 117. When arriving for pick-up, please report to the front entrance, ring the bell, announce your name. On the outside mailbox, early dismissal slips will be available at the front door. Please fill out a slip and hand it in when your child is brought out. Any student dismissed before 2:45 will be marked as an early dismissal. This will be recorded on your child’s report card.

Our first fundraising event is now underway! Two "Football Mania" tickets were sent home this week with your youngest child. Please return the stubs along with payment by September 8th.
