Attention to the Parents/Guardians of students in grades 9-12:

This brief survey will ask if your student(s) have taken a CTE course, why or why not, and the relevancy of some basic components of the programs. Please only respond to this survey if you have a student enrolled in high school.
Your feedback is appreciated and will help shape regional strategies to support local CTE programs moving forward.

Last Friday, the elementary students learned about lithium batteries, charging devices safety, and each received a fire Helmet and a bag of goodies.
The Middle/High School students learned how to use a fire extinguisher properly and everyone got a chance to put out a fire. The Goodman FD also donated a fire extinguisher for each student in the MS/HS to take home.
Thank you so much to the Goodman FD members: Craig Smith, TJ Moddie, Tyler Moddie, and Stanley Maruszczak Jr.!

Goodman - Armstrong Creek School District was honored to be presented a United States Flag for our work in embracing Americanism and promoting Patriotism. The American flag is always flying in front of the school and the pledge of allegiance is said by all the students at the beginning of every school day and before all sporting events. Pictured is Barbara Squires, Senior Vice President, VFWA #7444, as she presents the flag to Jason Slawinski, science teacher and Iraq war veteran, and Amy Wysocki, Superintendent, whose grandfathers both served in the Navy during WWII.
