FJVD Weekly Info...
We Live the Word!
From the Principal's Desk
Dear FJVD Families,
With only twenty days before the official start of the school year, I am sure that the reality of returning to school is beginning to set in for many students.
I know that you and your children may be anxious, nervous, and excited - so am I! I can't wait to meet, empower, inspire, and educate your children, and work with you to build their faith, knowledge, and confidence.
I know that you're working hard to provide every resource and opportunity you can for your children, so please don't hesitate to reach out if there's any way in which I can be of assistance. I want to thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing you at school in just a few short weeks. It is going to be a great year!
Go Saints!
Sincerely,
Mr. Peloquin
P.S. Don't forget to RSVP for our Back to School BBQ! Looking forward to a great evening with family, friends, and lots of food!
The Mission of Father John V. Doyle School is to provide students with a solid, well-rounded education based on Roman Catholic Tradition.

FJVD Certificate Program Runs Through the Summer!
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 $75.00 tuition credit!
Cards currently available include:
Stop & Shop, Applebee's, Barnes & Noble, Dave's, Dunkin Donuts Panera, Wal-Mart and more!
Stop by the school Wednesdays from 10am-12pm or in the vestibule after the 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30am Sunday Masses to purchase your gift cards!
Shop with Amazon Smile!
For more information, see the PDF attached below. Happy shopping!
Purple Bins help our school!
Gordon Orthodontics and R.I. Dentistry Reading Contest
Using the reading log attached below, keep track of how many books/pages you read over the summer. Then, turn in your reading logs at school (no later than September 5th). Your log must be signed by a parent.
You could help our school win $1,000!
Thank you for your support!
Keep saving those Box Tops!
Don't forget to save your Box Tops over the summer for next year!
See the letter below for information on uploading Box Tops to the new Box Top App!
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 over the summer and send them in to Mr. Godin’s room when you return in August!
Bottle Cap Drive
We’re excited to share that our school is part of the Coca-Cola Give program. This opens up Father John V. Doyle School to 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!
