Principal's Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
February 22, 2024
Dear Parents,
Beginning Friday, March 1st, students in Grades 1 through 8 will be participating in Terra Nova Standardized Testing. The tests highlight students' overall abilities and strengths. As a faculty, we use the results to direct our constant efforts to improve instruction. It is important for students to be prepared in order to perform their best. The following are ways in which you can assist your child in preparing for this important testing time:
- Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep.
- Eat a healthy breakfast.
- Be on time and not absent from school.
- Come prepared to school with sharpened pencils and erasers.
- Encourage a positive attitude.
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
