Parents/Guardians, At the Goodridge School, communication is extremely important to all of us.

Any student that has not had their attendance reported to the office will be reported as unexcused for their absence. When a student is absent, the office will record attendance and notify the proper teacher. How can I notify the office of my student's absence? You can either: 1) Report the absence through the ParentVUE app 2) Email: cynthia.jensen@goodridgeisd561.org 3) Call the office: 218-378-4134 If an elementary student is getting picked up after school or any other bus change, the parent or guardian should notify the office prior to 2:00 pm.

All staff are encouraged to respond to messages during normal business hours and through proper communication tools such as the school phone, email, or the Rooms mobile app. If you have any questions, please call the office.
