From the Principal's Desk
Dear Father Doyle Families,
Believe it or not, we have only seventeen days of the 2020-2021 school year remaining! While this year has certainly had its challenges, it has also been filled with abundant blessings. I am so grateful for all of your support and dedication this year. Together, we have maintained in-person learning, supported continued learning, and grown our school community!
Please be sure to read over the information and announcements below:
We Had Joy, We Had Fun, We Had Such a GREAT Auction!”
Our Fr. John V. Doyle School Strong 2021 Annual Silent Auction, “Hang On, the WORST is Behind Us!” is now behind us, and was a great success! Thank you to everyone who participated by donating and or bidding on items, and by volunteering at or attending in person or virtually our Kick Off and Closing Events. Very special thank you to our Auction Chair Jen Marra for the fantastic job she did getting everything together! Thanks as well to the band, the “FJVee Dees,” Fr. Woolley, Mr. Mudrack, Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Mattias and Mr. “Rubber Duck” Godin, who performed the Top Ten Worst Hits of the 60s, 70s and 80s, and to our special guest at the Kick Off Event, Mrs. “Dancin' Debbie” Moone! You can still check out the closing event and concert on our Facebook Page. This year's Auction raised over $20,000! These funds will be utilized to finish our Outdoor Multi-Sport Court, including NBA-regulation basketball hoops, volleyball and pickle ball sets, and fencing around the exterior of the court. Additional funds will be utilized for continued textbook enhancements, which have already begun across the grade levels!
RIDOH State Guidance
As many of you are aware, the state of Rhode Island has recently eased many COVID-19 related restrictions. You can find updated guidelines on the RIDOH website here, as well as on the Reopening RI Website here. As we have done throughout this school year, we defer to the guidance and expertise of the Rhode Island Department of Health to help guide our school policies. At this time, the Department of Health states that mask mandates and social distancing guidelines remain in effect in schools and childcare settings. Additional guidance, including stable groupings, cleaning and hygiene protocols, etc. also remain in effect within school and childcare centers.

Got Ink?
Reduce Waste and Help our School!
Do you have used ink cartridges at home? Father Doyle School is partnering with Planet Green Recycling to recycle use ink cartridges. The best part? It's entirely hassle free - all you have to do is drop your ink used ink cartridges off in the main office. We'll package and ship them to Planet Green, who ensures cartridges are properly recycled. Ultimately, the program helps save the environment and supports the school! Find out more here.
Participate in the FJVD Certificate Program!
This program is a great way to reduce the cost of your tuition while supporting FJVDl!
The Process:
- The school purchases shopping cards from all of your favorite stores
- You purchase the cards from the school, paying face value and spending the same dollars you would have paid to the stores directly
- The school earns a percentage discount offered by participating stores.
For each $50.00 you spend, you get a stamp on your Tuition Discount Card. Fill the entire card and redeem it for a $75.00 check!
Cards currently available include:
Stop & Shop, Applebee's, Barnes & Noble, Dave's, Dunkin Donuts, Panera, Wal-Mart and more!
Stop by the school Monday-Friday 7:45am-8:15am, the Rectory Monday-Friday 1:45-2:15pm, or in the Parish Center after the 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30am Sunday Masses to purchase your gift cards!

Bottle Cap Drive
We’re excited to share that our school is part of the Coca-Cola Give program. This provides new funding opportunities to help improve learning environments for students. The best part? Donations don’t come out of your own pocket. When you make Coca-Cola purchases, you simply send in bottle caps or product codes from boxes of beverages and our school receives a donation.
All caps and codes should be sent to Mr. Godin. Codes will be entered on one account to gain larger and quicker donations.
Thank you!
