Welcome Back!

Conference Week 2021

Students will be dismissed at 11:30 daily during conference week. They will be able to pick up a sack lunch to bring home before they leave if they would like one. Teachers have posted their conference appointment sign ups in ParentSquare and shared the posts with all of their families. Most conferences will be held via Zoom with some options for in-person meetings. 

Here is the daily schedule for students during conference week:

Picture Retake Day at Goodman is Monday, October 25th!

Students may participate if they have not been photographed at school this year, or if there was a problem with their first photo and they need to have a new photo taken. If you purchased photos previously and would like them replaced, you will need to bring your first set of photos on October 25 to return to the photographer. Appointment sign-up has closed, but students may still be able to participate if time allows after all previously scheduled appointments have concluded.

Our school is participating in the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey during Fall 2021. The survey will be given to students in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12.

The Healthy Youth Survey includes questions related to physical activity and diet, unintentional and intentional injury, substance use, sexual behaviors, abuse, risk and protective factors, and access to school-based services. Survey results are used by schools, communities and state agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their risks.

Participation in the survey is voluntary and the students' answers are anonymous.

Most schools will be administering the survey online this year. No privacy issues were identified in the E-survey pilot conducted in 2019. This year, schools and districts are being instructed to disable any recording, keystroke tracking, and video capture software on school-issued devices used to take the survey. They are also going to instruct students to do the same on personal devices used to take they survey before they begin. If you use any software to monitor the device your student will use to take the survey, please turn it off before they begin to ensure their honest participation.

Please read this Parent and Student Notification Letter for more information about the Healthy Youth Survey.

We are excited to see our Roadrunners here at Goodman in person on September 7th!  

Before the first day of school, here are some important items students will want to know in advance:

• Your student ID number
• Your portal user name and password - if you are brand new to our district you will be able to get that from our librarian on your first day
• Your schedule - check it in your portal the night before school in case changes have been made, and it helps to print a copy or write it down or have a photo of it on your phone for reference
• Your 4th period class determines what lunch you have. Check the lunch schedule in the tab above titled "Bell Schedule, Lunch Schedule and Building Map 21-22" to see what lunch you have, to see the bell schedule and to find a map of the building to help you find classrooms
• Your address and parent phone numbers - it helps to write this info down also in case your phone battery dies during the school day
• Your bus number - go to this webpage and use the instructions under the "Student Specific Lookup" section to use your ID number and birthdate to find your bus information. Write it down!
• Your after school plan to get home - bus or parent pick-up, make sure you know before you get to school in the morning!
• Masks are required
• Distancing will be enforced
• Handwashing is a must!
• Don't come to school if you are not feeling well
• Charge your chromebook overnight so it's fully charged for school each day
• You will not have a locker so make sure your backpack is not overloaded
• You should bring a refillable water bottle - we have a water bottle filling station but our water fountains will not be operating
• Your counselor's name - Mr. Lantz for students with last names A - K and Ms. Nemecek for students with last names L - Z
