Join in on the Homecoming fun this year!




We are excited for our first home football game this Friday, August 29th vs. Anamosa. Please review our Activities Expectations. Students 5th grade and younger are expected to sit with their family members (5th grade will continue to sit with their family even though they are in Middle School). In addition, once students enter they need to remain in Goodenow. Students will not be able to reenter the event if they leave, unless the are with an adult.
Thank You for your support as we work to make this a fun and safe event for everyone!


Cardinal: 1:10 pm dismissal
Briggs: 1:10 pm dismissal
Middle School: 1:20 pm (walkers/car riders), 1:25 (bus riders)
High School: 1:30
These times will be the same times that apply to all Friday early outs also. A gentle reminder, to please be patient and give grace to staff, bus drivers and families as navigating pick-up and drop-off can always be a little challenging these first few days. Specifically, if you have a student at Briggs, Middle School or riding the Cardinal/Briggs shuttle please review the information that was provided regarding pick-up and drop-off locations.
Thank You,
Superintendent Notz
