Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
Dear Parents,
Today we said goodbye to our Kindergarten students. Our first floor will be empty of students tomorrow and the silence is something that always catches me off guard. Our younger students bring such life and enthusiasm to our building and our school family does not feel complete without them. We wish our younger students and their families a very relaxing and rejuvenating summer!
We also say goodbye to our 8th grade students who will celebrate Graduation Ceremonies on Wednesday, June 9th. We wish them all the best that life has to offer as the begin their next journey in high school. They will always be a part of the Our Lady of Good Counsel School family!
Below are a few school updates and reminders:
- Please read a letter emailed home today in regards to next school year and our Covid protocols. Please reach out if you have any questions.
- Students will be cleaning desks and their classrooms next week. They may wear their gym uniforms everyday except for Friday. All students should be in their regular school uniform on Friday.
- This is a reminder that Friday, June 11th is the last day of school. Dismissal will be at 10:30 and there will be bus transportation. There will be no PM CARES.
- Please read below important information in regards to online tuition payments which will begin in July, 2021.
- If your child has any medication in the nurse's office, please come to school and pick up this medication. No medication will be sent home with a student.
- This is the last newsletter of the 2020-2021 school year. Next Friday, June 11th, school families will receive my end of year letter with highlights as we look back on this year, a sneak peek at next school year and teacher placements for the 2021-2022 school year.
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
