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.
We are happy to be a part of the Feinstein Jr. Scholar Program!
Mr. Feinstein provides a “Golden Ticket” for each student which you should have received this week. You should keep the Golden Ticket in a safe place. Numbers are drawn every Monday and announced on their virtual Feinstein Jr. Scholar Journal at www.feinsteinfoundation.org and their Facebook page. We will also share the numbers weekly on our Facebook page. If your child has a winning ticket number, you should contact the Admin Office right away. We ask that you take a picture of your child holding the winning ticket! Our school will receive a $5,000 grant from Mr. Feinstein and the child receives a $500 grant to donate to either our school or any non-profit of your choice as well as other prizes. THANK YOU!!

Colorguard (Gr. 4-8)
Colorguard is an artistic sport that used props such as flags to enhance a musical performance. It is a very popular activity in High Schools and Colleges and is becoming more popular at the Middle and Elementary School levels. During the Fall, Colorguard can be seen performing with a marching band for parades or football games. In the winter, most groups compete in regional Colorguard competitions indoors.
During our season last year, our Colorguard performed in the Autumnfest Parade with the school band and the went on to have a very successful winter season competing in the NESBA circuit. We will be competing again this year and hope to another successful season.
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.
