From the Principal's Desk
Dear Father Doyle Families,
2nd Trimester Report Cards for students in grades K-8 were sent home today. In reviewing report cards, I am so proud of the progress our students are making! It is wonderful to see not only academic progress, but also growth in Christian values, effort, and study skills. Please note that a digital report card is also available via the FACTS Family Portal.
We're also looking forward to our Auction Kick-Off Event this evening at 7:00pm LIVE on Facebook! More details regarding the kick-off event and our annual auction are included below.
Lastly, a reminder that our Lenten Food Drive continues next week. The suggested items for next week are pasta and sauce. Thank you for your generosity!
Please stay up to date with the latest news and information by carefully reviewing the updates below:

COMING SOON: FJVD Read-a-thon!
The Annual Read-a-thon is returning to Father Doyle School!
Read-a-thons get your reader excited about reading and give friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more!
Our Read-a-thon will start Monday, March 28, 2022. About one week before our Read-a-thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress. We encourage you to activate your reader’s account at that time by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/IQUXHb/1 and following the simple instructions.
We've chosen a Read-a-thon because it will not take much of your time, it gives your child a reason to read, and promoting regular reading helps in the development of stronger reading skills. We hope everyone can participate!

Got Ink?
Reduce Waste and Help our School!
Do you have used ink cartridges at home? Father Doyle School is partnering with Planet Green Recycling to recycle use ink cartridges. The best part? It's entirely hassle free - all you have to do is drop your ink used ink cartridges off in the main office. We'll package and ship them to Planet Green, who ensures cartridges are properly recycled. Ultimately, the program helps save the environment and supports the school! Find out more here.
Box Tops for Education
Keep Saving Those Box Tops!
See the newsletter attached below for information on how to upload your box tops using the new Box Top App!
Participate in the FJVD Certificate Program!
This program is a great way to reduce the cost of your tuition while supporting FJVDl!
The Process:
- The school purchases shopping cards from all of your favorite stores
- You purchase the cards from the school, paying face value and spending the same dollars you would have paid to the stores directly
- The school earns a percentage discount offered by participating stores.
For each $50.00 you spend, you get a stamp on your Tuition Discount Card. Fill the entire card and redeem it for a $50.00 check or $75.00 tuition reduction.
Cards currently available include:
Stop & Shop, Applebee's, Barnes & Noble, Dave's, Dunkin Donuts, Panera, Wal-Mart and more!

Aluminum Can Tab Collection
What: Aluminum can tabs are being collected
Why: To support the Ronald McDonald House in Providence
How can you help? Save can tabs and send them in to Mr. Godin’s room.
Bottle Cap Drive
We’re excited to share that our school is part of the Coca-Cola Give program. This provides new funding opportunities to help improve learning environments for students. The best part? Donations don’t come out of your own pocket. When you make Coca-Cola purchases, you simply send in bottle caps or product codes from boxes of beverages and our school receives a donation.
All caps and codes should be sent to Mr. Godin. Codes will be entered on one account to gain larger and quicker donations.
Thank you!
