Mrs. Smith's August Newsletter
Our Lady of Good Counsel School - AUGUST 1, 2023
We are getting closer to the start of the 2023-2024 school year. As promised, I am including important information here to help with your Back-to-School preparations.
May you continue to enjoy a relaxing, enjoyable summer.

GENESIS PARENT PORTAL
Returning parents will use the same credentials as always to access the Genesis site. Be sure you are using the proper LINK to access Genesis. If you have a child at a different school, or you use Genesis in another area, those links are different than the one that will access your OLGC portal.
The Genesis Parent Portal will open for all parents of OLGC School on Monday, August 21. At that time you will need to answer some questions and give your preference for Media/Photo Release and acknowledge that you have reviewed the Parent/Student Handbook, and the Technology Acceptable Use Policy. Once you have done this you will have access to your child's Genesis records. You can complete this any time from August 21 until September 12, although we prefer that this be done prior to the first day of school.

PK3 -- PK4 - Kindergarten Orientation
You will meet your child's new teacher and the classroom assistant. Please bring your child's supplies on this day so you can avoid carrying them on the first day when it is much busier as everyone says their good-byes.
