Goddard Public Schools is excited to invite you to a celebration honoring the USD 265 Parents as Teachers staff and families. The Parents as Teachers (PAT) program at USD 265 has recently completed the PAT National Quality Endorsement and Improvement Process, and has once again earned the highest designation: Blue Ribbon Affiliate status! Being named a Blue Ribbon Affiliate affirms that USD 265 Parents as Teachers ranks among the highest in the nation and is a result of strong teamwork, effective operations, and dedicated service.
In celebration, our PAT staff welcomes PAT families (past and present) to join them from 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 18th at Linear Park (108 N. Main St. Goddard, KS 67052) for a social hour that will include refreshments and reunions. All PAT families are welcome and encouraged to attend this free event!
Congratulations to our Parents as Teachers staff for their continued hard work and dedication to Goddard families, and to our youngest Goddard students! Our community is truly enriched by the high level of service and excellent programming you are providing. USD 265 Parents as Teachers (PAT) program is a no-cost parent education and family support program serving Goddard Public Schools families. It’s an initiative that serves prenatal to school-age students by providing parents resources, information, screenings and opportunities to expose their children to social interaction through groups and play.
