The first day of the 2024-2025 school year was a success! These 8th graders are listening attentively as Mrs. DeHaven reviews the rules and expectations for her classroom.
Family Movie Night
Thank you to our amazing PTO for organizing our Family Movie Night! It was a beautiful night with great friends, good times, and yummy snacks! Thank you to all who joined us and to the PTO for putting together a very successful event!
Library Dedication
This summer our Library received a makeover. It looks beautiful and is ready for our students to utilize. We are honored to dedicate the library in memory of Mrs. Poitras. Mrs. Poitras was an amazing teacher and friend. Her love of reading will be a constant reminder to those who walk through the doors of our school library.
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.

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.
