Due to the bussing changes needed by our Transportation Department, we are receiving more calls each day changing students' transportation methods home. In order to make sure we accommodate parent requests and to keep our students safe, please use the following guidelines when making changes:
--Transportation changes must be called in by 2:30 p.m. at 316-794.4030.
--Any emails should be sent to dissecretaries@goddardusd.com by 2:30 p.m. If you do not receive a response to your email prior to 2:30 p.m., please call the office to ensure that it was received.
--Any person who is picking your student up from school grounds must be listed in Skyward Family Access.
--If it is not your student’s normal way home, please let the office know.
Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
As a reminder, all schools and district offices will be closed on Monday, Sept. 4th in honor of Labor Day. We hope everyone has a safe time celebrating this holiday weekend!
Please stop by the Discovery gym tonight, August 30, 4-7 p.m. if your student is interested in joining Band or Orchestra. We will have vendors here with different instruments available.
If you can't make it, your student will still be able to sign up for Band and Orchestra this week.
Please be sure to stay with your child while they are looking at the instruments.
Maybe indoor recess last week wasn't that bad after all! Seeing the students creativity during this time made it worth it! #bettertogether

The Backpack-to-School Supply Drive Pickup Event is happening 3:00pm-5:00pm, TODAY, Saturday, August 12, at Pathway Church Goddard Campus. If your family is in need, your children are welcome to choose the backpack they want, and fill it with the school supplies they need for a successful start to their school year!
We are so very fortunate to have such wonderful community partners, businesses that have opened their doors to be a school supply drop off site, and generous community members who have contributed supplies and donated online to the success of this initiative. It takes the whole community to educate students for lifelong success and this what makes our #265Family so amazing!
A special thank you to Megan Alexander, Counselor a Challenger Intermediate School, Pathway Church of Goddard and the Goddard Education Foundation for helping organize this initiative.
Thank you to the First National Bank, Goddard Ace Hardware, All State with Mark Collier, Iron Nutrition, Kansas Strength and Performance, Cofellow Coffee Parlor, Goddard Pizza Hut, Goddard Piblic Library, Goddard Woman's Club, Goddard Lions Club, Mrs. Cole's Tropical Sno , Chick-fil-a, Mr. B's Daylight Donuts, and Credit Union of America for contributing incentives to help secure school supply donations.
Volunteers at Pathway Church are finishing organizing the supplies this morning and are ready to serve the students of Goddard Public Schools!
There is still time to make a designated donation to help fill in any last minute gaps in school supplies that may be needed. Make a secure contribution online at https://goddardeducationfoundation-bloom.kindful.com/?campaign=1264062.
Mark your calendars for the next USD 265 Job Fair! Come see us between 4-6 p.m. next Wednesday, August 16th, at Goddard High School to learn about the amazing opportunities right here at Goddard Public Schools!
