Goddard Public Schools launched a new mobile app to help students, parents, and community members know what is happening on campus from their phones. Most families use their phones as a primary means of communication, so we've created an app that is custom-built for your child's school for smartphones. The app lets you read the latest announcements, locate staff contact information, review upcoming events, and find important documents. The Goddard Public Schools App is available to download for FREE from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store today!

On Thursday, March 2nd, Goddard Academy hosted their Mentor Lunch. These gatherings are created to give students at Goddard Academy an opportunity to explore different career paths and learn what intrigues them for a future career. It also encourages students to meet different mentors and learn how and why they decided on their career path.
Last school year, Wayne Weese, Bus Driver for USD 265, had the privilege of being the school bus driver for Lennox Welsh, a current second-grade student at Clark Davidson Elementary School. What started as a tradition of good manners became a friendly competition between Lennox and Wayne. Every day, they would race to be the first to say good morning to each other. Lennox shared with us, “Having Mr. Weese say good morning to me, made me feel really happy because he was the first person to make me laugh and smile. It helped me get ready for school.”
