Epiphany
Lab Work
Grade 7 students, in Mr. Van Orsouw's science class, used various manipulatives to learn about DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis.
Santa's Workshop Update: Your generosity has allowed us to make donations of $300 to each of the following charities: Ronald McDonald House, Friends' Way, Adoption RI, and Keep the Heat On. We appreciate your help in teaching our children about helping others! May God bless you and your families this new year and always!
Attn: GWCRS Alumni - Spread the Word!
Whether you graduated in the 70’s or last year, come sign up for the 2nd Annual GWCRS Alumni 3v3 Basketball Game.

As a reminder, we have transitioned to the winter uniforms beginning Friday, November 1st. Please be mindful of the school mandatory Uniform Policy which will be enforced as we are now past the warmer weather. Uniform Infraction Notices will be sent home for any student who does not adhere to the Uniform Policy according to the Good Shepherd Parent/Student Handbook.
Bishop Feehan Admissions Department would like to invite families at our Catholic partner schools to explore our Early Action program.
This program allows 5th, 6th and 7th grade students at our partner schools to apply and secure a seat in advance for freshman year of high school. Please learn more about our program at BishopFeehan.com/EarlyAction
Our online application is open now through May 15th, 2025.
Please reach out with any questions or for additional information.
God Bless and Go Shamrocks!
Thank you for all of your support. If you would like us to see your child, please reach out and we will work with administration to make it happen.

Rediker Access
Good Shepherd School uses an electronic informational system called Rediker that allows parents to access their child's grades throughout the school year from Kindergarten through grade 8. This online platform provides access to teacher emails and student grades in an effort to promote a clear communication tool for our families. We ask that parents click the blue link below to activate your account in order to receive access to this important school information platform.
As a reminder for all students, cellphone use during school hours is prohibited. If students need to reach out to parents, they must go to the school office during break time to make the call.
Changes of dismissal should not be made through text messages during the day as it becomes a challenge during end of day dismissal.
All cellphones and Apple Watches should be kept in your child's backpack during the school day to avoid disruption during class time. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
