Principal Newsletter

Dear Parents,
Today in school our students began Terra Nova testing. Testing will take place during the morning hours and end next Friday, March 19th. Results will be made available to parents at the end of the school year.
PLEASE REVIEW THESE VERY IMPORTANT UPDATES AND REMINDERS:
- Beginning Monday, March 15, students will no longer need to provide the health checklist upon entering school nor have their temperature taken. We would ask that parents continue to remain vigilant in assessing your child's health and taking their temperature before sending them to school. Please keep your children home if they have any signs or symptoms of illness.
- It is also important to note that Our Lady of Good Counsel School will continue with the required 10 day quarantine period for travel out of state until the end of the school year irregardless of a negative Covid test. Students who need to quarantine will be offered the virtual option for that time period. Please join me in taking this opportunity to thank our teachers for their flexibility and adaptiveness! Managing a classroom full of students while hosting virtual students as well is an incredibly challenging undertaking and one that they have never been asked to do.
- A concern has been raised regarding car pick up in the afternoon. There are cars driving much too quickly in and out of the parking lot. Please know that your speed should not exceed 5 mph at any time. Our first priority is the safety of our students and staff.
- We are also asking both students and parents to be very mindful of the school uniform policy. With only 61 days left in the school year, it is apparent that our students are not adhering to the uniform policy. As a refresher, this policy can be found below.
- In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, Wednesday, March 17th will be a free Dress Down in Green Day. This day is a break in our testing schedule. Our National Junior Honor Society will be providing a fun filled day of activities in the gym, including the Shamrock Shuffle, a soccer/basketball game, and Irish music.
An Irish Prayer
May God give you,
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
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
