Trunk or Treat
Dine Out Night
Adam's Farm
Grades K-2 had a beautiful day do attend their field trip to Adam's Farm in Cumberland. They even sampled some apples and cider, visited the animals, and participated in the corn maze.
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.
GS Annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest
Good Shepherd would like to invite students to take part in our annual pumpkin decorating contest. Bring in your most creative and decorated pumpkin for a chance to win a small prize. Prizes will be awarded for Scariest, Cutest, Funniest, and Most Creative. Prizes include dress down tickets, $5 gift cards, and candy! Students must be able to carry their pumpkins to and from school without adult help. Pumpkins should be brought to school on Wednesday and must be taken home by Thursday. Thank you and Good Luck!
Open House

Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who helped to make our 2024 "Trunk or Treat" such a success. The weather was beautiful and so were the smiles on our students' faces. We could not have done it without our amazing PTO. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to our school community!
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.
