Principal's Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
March 7, 2024
Dear Parents,
This coming Monday we begin the third and final trimester of the school year. You may be finding it difficult to keep your student(s) motivated. Below are some tips that may help as the days will soon get longer and the temperatures warmer.
- Encourage your student to stay positive and not give up. Remind them of all the hard work they have put in so far.
- Assist your student in staying organized and planning ahead. Do a final trimester clean out of their backpack and help them organize it and fill with needed supplies.
- Seek out help for your student if they are falling behind. The final trimester of the school year usually consists of the hardest material. Encourage your student to ask for help early. Check FACTS and teacher websites regularly and reach out to your child's teacher if you need to.
This is the final leg of the race and we want all of our students to finish strong!
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
