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!
Goodwin School would like to thank the PTA for all they have done to support the start of school. We are so appreciative of Pops & Play, the PTA Bulletin Board, Welcome Sign at the entrance of the school, balloons in the foyer, and the Photo Op by the bus circle.
The PTA creates so much fun for the Goodwin School Community.
THANK YOU PTA!
Hello Goodwin Families,
Tomorrow will be an exciting day at Goodwin School! It will also be a very hectic morning drop off time. Historically, many families drive their children to school on the first few days and therefore parking is limited. This causes many delays and requires lots of patience.
Three ways you can help: (1) Have your child ride the bus and say your goodbyes at the bus stop. (2) Use the student drop off circle. Have your child ready to depart your vehicle on the sidewalk side. There will be adults there to assist. (3) If you do walk your child to the building, please depart the campus as soon as possible.
If you think you require help with getting your child to transition from your car in the drop off circle, please call the main office.
Reminder: The day begins for students at 8:45. Please DO NOT drop off students prior to 8:35. There is no supervision at this time.
End of day pick up time is 3:15.
We are excited to welcome students back to Goodwin!
