Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
October 12, 2023
Dear Parents,
It has been said that autumn is the season that can teach us that change can be beautiful. The leaves offer us an incredible display of vibrant colors. As autumn is in the air, we are well into an exciting and vibrant school year! Please read carefully through today's newsletter as it contains a great deal of information.
Some school updates and reminders:
- Beginning tomorrow, we will begin rolling out the new FACTS Information System. We will begin with families that have students in Grades 7 and 8. You will receive special instructions. It is imperative that you log on and create your family portal within 48 hours of receiving the link. Our hope is to have the entire school population up and running by next Friday.
- Winter Uniforms begin Monday, October 23rd. Please see below for details. This is also School Picture Day. Forms will be sent home next week.
- We are almost through half of the first trimester of school. At this time, if you are in need of a parent conference, you may reach out to your child's teacher to schedule one. They will be held at mutually convenient times from Monday, November 6th through Friday, November 10th.
- We will once again hold our Annual Thanksgiving Pie Sale. A flyer went home with each student on Monday. Please see details below on how you can help support our school through this fundraiser.
- Our 6th through 8th grade girls will be competing in Villa Joseph Marie High School's Annual Sciatholon tomorrow. Please join me in wishing them the best of luck!
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
Principal
