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!

Tomorrow is the first day of school and we are so excited to welcome back all students, staff and families for the new school year! Tomorrow, Monday, August 25th is an early out. Please review the following times for your specific building:

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

Thank you so much to our local businesses and organizations who donated and supported our district wide back to school staff luncheon on Friday. We appreciate the support of our staff as we kick off the new year! Thank You to the following: Fareway Dollar Fresh Eagles Club Women's Club Board Member Mary Herring for helping serve staff. Staff and parent volunteers for helping grill the delicious burgers and hotdogs. It was a beautiful day and great way to connect with everyone before students arrive. Here's to a great year!
