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.
