Eucharistic Adoration
What is Eucharistic Adoration? What does it mean? How do you do it? Ask an 8th grader to tell you. Father Gadoury came to give them a refresher course on Eucharistic Adoration.
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.

Open House
St. Raphael Academy
Families are cordially invited to Saint Raphael Academy’s open house, where they’ll have an opportunity to tour the campus and meet with staff, teachers, coaches, and other parents and students. Saint Raphael Academy (grades 9-12) nurtures students to become their best selves—academically, athletically, and spiritually. Students experience a unique combination of small class settings, college-style learning, and a supportive community, which shapes them into well-rounded, critical thinkers and doers. Ready to become a Saint? To learn more and pre-register for the open house visit saintrays.org.
Bishop Feehan High School
Bishop Feehan High School will be having an Open House on Sunday, November 3rd at 1pm. We invite you to tour the campus and meet with students, staff, coaches, and parents. Bishop Feehan also has an Early Action Program with Good Shepherd available to students who would like to be accepted and remain at Good Shepherd to finish out their Middle School Career.
Counselor's Corner
Thank you for all of your support. If you would like us to see your child, please reach out and we will work with administration to make it happen.

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.
