"Lunch Bunch"
Our "Lunch Bunch" had a great time playing Uno during lunch time this week.
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.
Thank you !
Thank you to EVERYONE who came to the Texas Roadhouse Dine Out event last night to support our Good Shepherd School community! It was wonderful to see so many of our families eating in and picking up food to go.
GUESS THE CANDY contest… The correct number of candies was 179. With a guess of 180, our winner is Ethan Blanchette in First Grade!
We also held a Texas Roadhouse basket raffle, and the winner of that basket is Mr. Hudgins—the dad of fourth grader Mason!
Congratulations to our winners, and thank you for your continued support!
Scholastic Book Fair
Don't forget to set up your student's eWallet account for cashless, stress-less shopping. Friends and family can even contribute funds! Set one up here: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/goodshepherdcatholicschool1. #ScholasticBookFairs

- Student physical examinations that were done over the summer need to be turned in ASAP.
- All medication orders (Tylenol, Tums, etc.) need to be completed at the start of every school year.

Trunk or Treat
The PTO is looking for volunteers to help make our Trunk or Treat spooktacular! There are several ways to contribute.
1. Sign up to decorate a trunk and hand out treats.
2. Sign up to volunteer at our activities.
3. Send in decorations/treats to hand out.
The event will be held on school grounds on 10/20/24 from 2-4 pm rain or shine. Volunteers can begin setting up their trunks at 1 pm.
Please remember that if you plan to volunteer for any PTO event, you must be Safe Environment certified. This requires a BCI/CORI check through our office and paperwork to be submitted.
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.
