Mrs. Smith's July Newsletter
Our Lady of Good Counsel School - JULY 3, 2023
I hope the past two weeks have been relaxing for you and your family as you settle into your summer schedules. Work continues at school, but during reduced hours. The office is open Monday - Thursday from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM. I will not send my weekly newsletter until school reopens. You will receive another communication on August 1 which will include everything you will need for the opening of school.
A situation that has come up recently is parents requesting that their child be assigned to a specific teacher or be grouped with particular students in September. With just under 300 students in our school, you can imagine how difficult it would be to accommodate every family's requests in this area. All of our classes are staffed with the most appropriate teacher(s) for the grade level. You can be assured that your child(ren) will have a positive experience in any case. Our teachers are experts at managing their classrooms and developing a community that demonstrates our Catholic values. While I often tell our students that they will not always be best of friends with all of their classmates, they are all expected to treat each other with a Christian heart.
Before the close of school, our teachers worked together to create two new class lists for their students as they move up to the next grade. Many things were taken into consideration as they developed two well-balanced groups of students. This includes academic ability, social and emotional development, gender, and ages. I respect our teachers and trust that they are able to help create two new groups at each grade level.
May you continue to enjoy a relaxing, enjoyable summer.
Peace & Blessings,
Cindy Smith
