Reminder that there will be a PTA meeting tonight at 7:00 in the Goodwin Library. During the meeting, high school students will offer babysitting in the gym.
1. Today (9/6/23): Students and teachers who aren't in airconditioned rooms will take breaks in alternate classrooms, meeting rooms, and spaces being made available so everyone gets out of the heat at some point. Outside activities will be limited. Building administrators will advise staff.
2. Tomorrow (9/7/23): We WILL have an early dismissal for the Middle School and High School only because Goodwin has air-conditioning. The Middle School will dismiss at 11:55, and the High School will dismiss at 12:00. The Middle School will proceed with open house for parents tomorrow night.
The PTA adds so much to our Goodwin School Community. Please consider joining and perhaps dedicating some volunteer hours to one of the many events run by the PTA. They are highly organized and run efficient meetings. First meeting is Sept 7 at 7:00 in the Library Media Center.
Last spring, Goodwin students participating in STEM Club, Music Club, and Art Club created a video to share with new families who join Goodwin School. They sang a welcome song, created art showing places around town, and gave a video tour of areas around our school. A big thanks to Trent Gerbers for turning their work into a beautiful video with his excellent production skills! You can check it out at this link:

Please consider dropping off your child at the coned off drop off area. School staff members are present to assist students. Have you child ready to get out on the sidewalk side. This will not only help with parking lot congestion, but will save you loads of time and help your child grow to be more independent.
If you are picking up your child in the afternoon, please stay behind the roped off area until 3:10, cell phone time. Until 3:10 we are still functioning as a secure campus, and it is imperative that we don’t have people roaming the grounds
The first week of school was a tremendous success! Welcome back, Rams!
