| OTHER INFORMATION Accrediting Agencies: Good Shepherd School is fully accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Our current accreditation is through June 2014. Lost and Found: Items that are found on the school grounds are kept on a cart by the girl’s restroom. All uniform items, books, etc. should be clearly and PERMANENTLY marked with the child’s name. Parents and students are encouraged to check the Lost and Found on a regular basis. Periodically, unclaimed items will be given to needy families. The Non-Traditional Family: Divorced or separated parents must file a court-certified copy of the custody section of the divorce or separation decree with the principal's office. The school will not be held responsible for failing to honor arrangements that have not been made known in writing. Parties: Mixed parties involving the students of upper grades, even though these parties are held at home, are especially discouraged. Parents are asked to cooperate with this regulation. (Archdiocesan Handbook) Invitations for parties (birthday, etc.) handed out at school should be given to all the children in a particular class. No one student should be excluded. Parents are asked to avoid holding parties on a school night. Bringing birthday treats to school is discouraged. Bicycles, Skateboards, Roller Blades, Skate-shoes, and Scooters: Bicycles, skateboards, roller blades, skate-shoes and scooters are never to be brought to school or used on school grounds. Telephones: Except in an extreme family emergency, the office staff will not call a student to the office telephone during class time or take messages for students during the school day. Students are NOT to use the office telephone except in cases of emergency. Forgotten homework and arranging after- school activities are NOT emergency situations. If students bring cell phones to school, they must be kept off during school hours, 7:30 AM – 3:15 PM, and remain out of sight and in the backpacks. If a student is seen with a cell phone during school hours, the cell phones will be collected and kept in the principal’s office. iPods, CD Players, headphones are NEVER permitted at school. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Visitors: Good Shepherd School maintains a closed campus.
