Admission Policy for Parish Elementary Schools: The Pastor and Principal are responsible
for determining the selection of pupils to the parish elementary school. Parents should be
made aware of the enrollment policy before applying for pupil admission. No pupils shall be
denied admission because of race or national origin. The parish school will abide by the non-
discrimination policy of the Archdiocese
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 2008.
Character Counts: Good Shepherd is a Character Counts! School. Character Counts! is a
successful approach to character education. It is a framework—a road map—for children to
follow in improving their lives. It is up to all of us to teach young people right from wrong.
Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship are the pillars of
the program. Parents have the primary responsibility of teaching character education but
everyone interacting with young people has an important supporting role. Each month we
highlight a particular pillar (see School Calendar).
Good Shepherd – Good Character – Living the Pillars
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 and remain in the backpacks until
after school. 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.
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.
