Fall Conference Links
Parent teacher conferences are a great opportunity for you to learn about your child’s academic progress, work habits, and peer relationships. For fall conferences, we ask every parent to schedule a time with your child’s teacher during one of the allotted times.
Fall conferences are on Wednesday, October 22nd and Thursday, October 23rd. Again, this year we will be offering conferences both in person and on Zoom. Parents should sign up for a time with their preference using the Sign Up Genius below. Every effort should be made to schedule a conference during one of the offered times.
- In-person conferences will be offered on Wednesday, October 22nd from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM and Thursday, October 23rd from 1:40-8:00 PM
- Zoom conferences will be offered on Thursday, October 24th from 10:00 AM – 12:40 PM
Conferences are for parents and teachers. Please make prior arrangements for childcare.
If you have any questions, please contact the office or your child’s teacher.

RAM-Tastic Behavior Rewards
At Good Shepherd, we celebrate positive choices with our RAM-Tastic Behavior Jar! Students earn stars in the classroom and around the building for showing respect, responsibility, and kindness. Once a star card is filled (15 stars), it’s placed in the office jar. At the end of each month, we draw winners who receive a special treat and prize.
Congratulations to our September winners! We’re so proud of all our students for showing great behavior every day.
KW — Josue Becerra

Keep earning those stars, Rams, every filled card means another chance in next month’s drawing!
