Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
November 24, 2020
Dear Parents,
On this short week, there are just a few important school reminders and updates:
- Upon our return to school on Tuesday, December 1st, all faculty, staff, and students will go through a new screening process upon entering school. Temperatures will be taken and Health Screening Forms will be collected before students are permitted to go to the classroom. A paper copy of the screening must be presented. Today, your children came home with a packet of those papers to get you started. We thank you in advance for your help in keeping our school community safe!
- The BLOCS application for the 2021-2022 school year is now open. We encourage all school families to apply now. Tax documents do not have to be uploaded until you complete them. Your financial information is kept confidential as it is processed through FACTS, a third party administrator. This year we were able to award school families over $70,000 in tuition assistance. Please do not assume that you will not qualify. If you do not qualify, your application fee will be refunded. Please see below for more details.
- An OLGC family Christmas tree will be on display this year in the A Level corridor. We are asking all school families to send in an ornament for the tree. Please send these into school anytime during the first week of December.
- Many thanks to all of our school families for the amazing generosity shown during our annual Thanksgiving food drive. Yesterday, we not only presented Jesus Focus Ministries pantry with a car load of food donations, we also presented them with a check in the amount of $3200 to be used toward purchasing additional food items. Many families in need in our community will benefit from your selflessness!
- Teachers have very busy class schedules and most often do not check email until after students have left for the day. If you email a teacher during the school day, please understand that you may not get a response before the end of that school day.
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
