Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
October 24, 2018
Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe that it is Conference time already! This is a reminder that dismissal is 11:45 am tomorrow, Thursday, October 25. Bus transportation will be provided for those students that are regular bus riders. There is NO PM CARES. School will be closed on Friday.
We ask that you enter and exit the building for your conference at the gym doors. Please be mindful of the time set for your conference so that we may remain on schedule. If you need additional time, you may schedule another conference any time during the school year. Please email the teacher for an appointment.
We are excited and humbled by the opportunity to be profiled by Suburban Life magazine!! There are many great things happening at Our Lady of Good Counsel School and this certainly gets the word out to the community. We are certainly moving forward with a bright future ahead! The magazine is being distributed to select zip codes. Coming home today with your child is a copy of the magazine, along with Picture Day forms. Picture Day is this coming Monday, October 29.
On Monday, October 29, we will begin the Re-registation process for next year. Conducting the registration process early, as we did last year, enables us to adequately plan for classroom size, additions, etc. We are again offering a 50% discount on the registration fee for the month of November. All current tuition payments must be up to date in order to re-register your child.
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
