Dear Parents of Future Good Shepherd Students,
Currently, we are enrolling students for PreK 3s and PreK 4s
through grade 8 classes for the 2006-2007 school year. We invite you to
visit us at Good Shepherd Catholic School at any time. Please call to
arrange a visit and to gather information about our school
(636.797.2300).
Good Shepherd Catholic School operates on an extended school
year calendar. This calendar plan offers a shorter summer break,
reducing the time necessary for yearly review. The plan also provides
time for family-life throughout the academic year, offering three
extended academic breaks as well as the typical summer vacation time.
To support this innovative calendar year, our entire school facility
has been centrally air-conditioned.
Our comprehensive educational program includes the core
academic subjects; also education in character, faith, and religion; as
well as education in art, music, physical education, and technology.
Foreign languages are offered as co-curricular activities, as are
scouts and athletics.
Education at Good Shepherd Catholic School includes PreK 3s and
PreK 4s classes. Our preschool program encourages developmental
readiness for the elementary school classroom experience. Preschool
classes operate half days. The 4s meet M, W, F mornings. The 3s meet on
T, Th mornings.
Additional features of the education at Good Shepherd Catholic
School include before and after school care; daily hot lunches; access
to the Sacraments; prayer and Eucharist; service to the community; and
a warm sense of family. Our faculty are degreed and certified teachers.
We are accredited by and through the Missouri Nonpublic School
Association, the National Catholic Education Association, and the
Archdiocese of St. Louis.
Recently, a science lab, an art room, a school library, and
additional classrooms were added to our school building. Parents
volunteer extensively within our school and have the opportunity to
participate in the Home and School Association and the Parish Education
Commission.
Please call us, write us, e-mail us, or stop by to visit us. School brochures and handbooks are available at all times.
We look forward to working with you towards the Gospel-value based education of your children.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sharon Baumgartner, Principal
