In order to allow students, parents, and staff to attend the game there will be NO SCHOOL for Goodridge students or staff on Thursday, November 2nd.

Parents/Guardians,
Did you know that each day, the office gives a list to each bus driver noting all bus changes? The office also calls each classroom to inform teachers/students of bus changes at the end of the day.
If your child is not riding the bus (and normally does), it helps the office, the classroom teacher, and the bus driver if you notify the office prior to 2:15 p.m.
Due to the safety of our students and bus capacity restrictions, students are not allowed to ride alternate bus routes! Only pre-approved bus changes by the transportation director are permitted.
Thank you for your cooperation!

URGENT MESSAGE: Due to a bus driver shortage, there will be no yellow (Tony's) route after school today, Monday, October 23rd. If your student rides the yellow route, please make arrangements to pick up your student from school at 3:15 p.m. If you are unable to make arrangements, please call the office before 1 p.m. today. This is the only day that should be affected - normal bus routes will resume tomorrow. Please call the school with any questions. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Good evening, Charger Parents,
We know you have been experiencing some issues with our new communication app, Rooms (we are also experiencing some issues)! I sincerely apologize that this has not been resolved sooner; we were hoping for a smooth transition into the new school year and unfortunately, that has not been the case. We are still working with the app developers to straighten out the kinks, and I will keep you informed of our progress and the direction we plan on going in the future. In the meantime, please remember you can always access your student's classroom teachers via email (you can find their emails here: https://www.goodridge.k12.mn.us/staff) or by calling the school. And, as always, you can always contact me and I will do whatever I can to help! Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you so much for your patience and understanding!
--Ms. Carlson
