Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
October 29, 2020
Dear Parents,
Today we complete the first two months of school. I want to take this time to thank everyone for your continued cooperation with the many new protocols and procedures we have put in place. I am very proud of our students who are handling things so well.
I also want to take this time to thank everyone for their prayers during our Middle States Visit. I am very pleased to inform you today that Our Lady of Good Counsel School will be recommended by our visiting team for re-accreditation from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools! We should be very proud of all that we have accomplished as a school community!
Here are some school updates and reminders:
- Arrival for students should be no earlier than 7:45. Teachers are not in the building to monitor students until that time. At 7:45, the doors will be unlocked and students will be permitted in the building. If you need to drop off earlier, please register your child in the CARES program.
- School will be closed tomorrow, Friday, October 30th.
- Our Student Council will be sponsoring our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. Each class will be putting together a basket containing an entire Thanksgiving meal for a family in need. Teachers will be posting a sign up sheet on their classroom websites for food donations. Please see the flyer below for details on the feather drive that supplements the food donations.
- Below you will find a letter in regards to traveling from Andrew McLaughlin, Secretary for Elementary Education in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Please read through it carefully and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
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
