Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
May 23, 2019
Dear Parents,
Ten days of school left! This coming week, we wish our Pre-K and Kindergarten students a happy summer as they close out the school year! How much they have grown since September! I will miss seeing their smiling faces each day! The last day of school for students in Grades 1-7 will be Friday, June 7th. Dismissal will be at 10:30 AM. Along with report cards, students will be sent home this year with summer Reading and Math assignments. These assignments will be mandatory for each grade level and will be counted as the first Reading and Math grades of the new school year. Please be sure to look for these packets coming home.
Plans for next school year are already underway! There is much work to be done. Based on the results of our Technology Survey, a plan has been put in place for next school year. Please click on the link below for further information.
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
