Vision and Hearing testing ~ March 15 and 18th Good hearing and vision is important to your child’s education. Sometimes children have trouble seeing or hearing and do not even know it. It may be normal for them. We would like to help your child do well in school. We will be checking both on March 15 and 18. The vision test is simply having you child asked to read a line of letters/symbols (depending on child’s age) on an eye chart while standing at a set distance. (Students with glasses should bring their eyewear with them). The hearing test will have your child raise their hand during a “beep” sound from headphones. This is only a preliminary testing. We will send a note home with the results. If you have any questions or would not like your student to participate, please call the school office and let Mrs. Heather McGuire know.

Spelling Bee Results   Thank you to our Rock River Regional spelling bee participants. While we didn't bring home the traveling trophy this year, I was so impressed with the exemplary Christian attitude and representation our students gave for Good Shepherd at this event. THANK YOU SPELLERS! We're very proud of you all!
