Students of the Month
WACTC
Students in grade 8 had the opportunity to visit the Woonsocket Area Career and Technical Center to see the many amazing opportunities that the school provides for our students who will be moving on to high school next year.
School Attendance
In the event that your child will be absent, late or dismissed early, please contact the school office at (401) 767-5906 by 9:00 am so our office staff can inform your child's teacher of their absence or end of day dismissal changes.
Uniform Reminders
As a reminder, we will be transitioning 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.
Save the Date....
The Good Shepherd fundraising products from Meadow Farms will be delivered on Monday, November 25th. Family pick ups will be between 2:30pm - 5:00pm.

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.
Cellphone Policy
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.
