Goodman-Armstrong Creek School District

Notification of School Closure - December 15, 2020 Due to the presence of COVID-19 cases and contact tracing results in our district a determination has been made to temporarily close our schools. This decision is not made lightly and is being made in the best interest for the safety and well-being of our students and staff members. The district understands that closing schools places an unexpected burden on our families. Your support and understanding at this time is very much appreciated. The closure will begin on Wednesday, December 16th and will last through the previously scheduled Winter Break. School will resume on Monday, January 4th, 2021 as previously scheduled. Teachers will be communicating with their students regarding instructional expectations in each grade level and subject area. All students are expected to participate fully in virtual learning through noon on December 23rd. Also, breakfast and lunch meal distribution will occur for meals planned through lunch on Wednesday, December 23rd. For the time being, the boys junior varsity and varsity basketball practices and games are postponed until further notice.

The Engines/Autos class took the engine out of the "Beast" this week. We have been looking into an engine replacement or rebuild. The students will start to tear down the engine next to see if it is worth fixing. Great job!

VETERANS DAY - November 11, 2020 This observance day commemorates the end of major hostilities of World War I at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Begun as Armistice Day in 1919, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation changing Armistice Day to Veterans Day, "a day dedicated to world peace," in 1954. The day honors all veterans of the U.S. armed services. Everyone in the Goodman-Armstrong Creek School District wishes to thank all of its veterans for their service to our country.

First and second grade are getting ready to read their next Jack and Annie book: Thanksgiving on Thursday by building background knowledge.

One of the Fab Lab 2 students was tasked to make 12 peg games that will be distributed to local nursing homes. He designed the layout and used the cnc router to cut them out. Great job!

One of the advanced welders built a roller stand for the metal band saw with metal donated from SGI Mine in Pembine. Thank you to Keith Krenzke for the donated metal and Paul Erickson for delivering it.

Parent-Teacher Conferences GAC will not hold in-person conferences. Elementary teachers have already started to contact parents individually and will continue to do so over the next few days. Parents of middle/high school students are asked to contact your child’s teachers to set up conferences by emailing them directly or calling and leaving a message on their school extension. All staff is looking forward to connecting to our families and celebrating the growth and goals of our students.
