CHANGE TO SCHOOL CALENDAR
 
Please note the following changes on the school calendar due to changes on the Watertown Unified School calendar. 
 
  • Oct. 29th and 30th will now be FULL SCHOOL DAYS
 
  • Nov. 23rd and 24th will have NO SCHOOL
PARENT/ TEACHER CONFERENCES
 
On the school calendar, parent/ teacher conferences were slotted for Oct. 29th and 30th. However, with the change of calendar to full school days on these dates AND the current COVID situation, we are going to do something a little different this year. 

Each teacher will contact you directly to set up a date/time between Oct. 29-Nov.6 for a virtual conference. Thank you for accommodating this as we work to keep our students and families safe during the pandemic.

1st quarter Chapel
Mary's Room
Mary's room is an outreach program that serves infants and children. They provide items such as diapers, wipes, clothing, bottles, cribs, toys, and so many other necessary items to Watertown families in need.

Good Shepherd will be having a classroom collection competition! We will be collecting bottle brushes, small packs of baby wipes, new socks (0-24 months-non-slip), and diapers (bigger sizes are especially needed). Donations can be brought into school starting Monday, September 21. Thank you for helping out this wonderful organization!
Hot Breakfast/ Lunches Will Be at NO COST to All GSLS Families!

Thanks to a federal relief program that provides support to students during the COVID-19 situation, hot lunches and hot breakfast will be offered at NO COST to GLSL students starting Monday, September 21 through December 31, 2020 as long as funds remain. This means that your students will order hot lunch just as they usually do, but there will be no charge for hot lunch with milk. Extra milk for cold lunch or break will still cost $0.40 as it does now.
 
In addition, free bagged, cold meals (breakfast AND lunch) are available to siblings of enrolled students 18 years old or younger in the household. Please call the office if you would like siblings to receive a bagged meal.
 
 If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
