Each day at school, a Rocky’s Wall of Fame sticker is given to at least 10 different students when recognized for meeting expectations for being Respectful, Responsible, and/or Safe. When students receive a Rocky’s Wall of Fame sticker, they are called at the end of the day to the board outside the office to select a randomly numbered star. Their name is then written on that star and placed on the board in the numbered space that corresponds with the number on the star. When 10 stars line up in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally), the ten students whose stars are in that row win a reward. The board is then cleared and we begin filling it again. Congratulations to those winning students! We continue to be proud of so many students who make good choices!
Congratulations to the following students:

Medication Pick-up Procedures:
Please remember to pick up your child's medication by the last day of school. Per CRSD medication policy, students are not permitted to transport medications home. Any medication remaining at school after the last student day will be discarded. Updated physician’s orders are required for the start of each school year. Please stop by to pick up any forms needed for next school year in the health office. The health office is open from 8:30 am – 4:00 pm.
Footwear:
To help provide a safe environment for your child, please be sure your child wears sneakers or similar soled shoes for gym class and recess. It is strongly recommended that flip flops, sandals, or crocks without back straps not be worn as they do cause a hazard in school and on the playground.
Ticks:
We have seen an increase in ticks at recess over the last two week. Please make sure you check your child(ren) daily when they get home.
Summer examinations for incoming 3rd & 6th grade students:
Per Pennsylvania state requirements, the health office requires a current physical examination form for every incoming 6th grade student. We can accept any exam completed as early as September 1, 2023, per state regulations. This would include physical examinations completed last school year (5th grade year).
Per Pennsylvania state requirements, the health office requires a current dental examination form for every incoming 3rd grade student. We can accept any exam completed as early as September 1, 2023, per state regulations. This would include examinations completed during their 2nd grade year.
These forms can be submitted to katie.engelhardt@crsd.org and can be found on the CRSD website or can be picked up in the health office.
All students from Goodnoe Elementary School were invited to participate in the bi-weekly Math Challenge Program. The students pictured below, from all grades 1-6, completed every single optional challenge during the 2023-2024 school year. These students should be commended for their effort in improving their mathematical problem solving skills.

Goodnoe Elementary School will be hosting Career Day on Monday, June 3. We offer this opportunity for parents within our school community to come into the classrooms to share insights about their careers and provide details about necessary education and training for their jobs. Career Day helps to expose students to a variety of careers to help jumpstart their thinking about the future by giving students a closer look at different career paths. It also helps to connect students’ learning to the real world by helping them learn about different career possibilities to explore for the future. We genuinely appreciate the support from parents and the many volunteers we have each year for this fun and educational event.
Please see the CR policy on Dress and Grooming:
The Council Rock School District Board of School Directors has a policy in effect to monitor inappropriate attire. Attire and grooming can influence students’ attitudes towards themselves and their school. Council Rock students are urged to emphasize cleanliness, neatness, and generally acceptable good taste in their dress and grooming habits. In an effort to maintain an atmosphere that is most conducive to learning, student attire is expected to be appropriate for school.
Appropriate dress is that which is neither offensive nor distracting. It should not present a safety hazard or disruption to the learning environment. Clothing which advertises or promotes the use of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco products is not considered appropriate. Clothing that conveys in- appropriate messages is not permitted. Other types of inappropriate clothing include low riding jeans, tight/form-fitting fabric tops with exposed midriff/shoulders or straps less than three fingers in width, and very short skirts/shorts. Students will be warned about inappropriate clothing initially with a letter sent home from the school. In some cases, students may be asked to cover up the inappropriate clothing. A second incident will result in a phone call to parents. If incidents continue, parents will be asked to come to school to bring more appropriate attire for their child. In addition, students are strongly discouraged from wearing flip-flops or sandals to school. There is a high incidence of injuries related to students tripping while at recess and walking through the hallways when wearing these types of footwear and our aim is to provide an environment that is safe for all
DENTALS & PHYSICALS
Per Pennsylvania state requirements, the health office requires a current physical examination form and dental form for all new incoming students. Physical exams are also required for all students entering 6th grade and dental exams are required for all students entering 3rd grade. We can accept any exam completed as early as July 1, 2023, per state regulations. This would include dental examinations for current 2nd grade students and physical examinations for current 5th graders dated after 07/07/23. These state forms can be found at crsd.org and can be submitted to katie.engelhardt@crsd.org.
Registration is now open for enrolling any NEW students for next school year. If your child is already attending GES, there is nothing you need to do.
Online Registration: The Council Rock School District utilizes a secure online portal for a parent(s) to enroll their child(ren). Please ensure you have all required documents ready before starting the enrollment process below. The application functions best in the Chrome browser on a desktop or laptop.
Your child is NOT registered until all documents have been received, reviewed by central registration, and the final registration document has been signed by the parent.
When escorting students to and from school, please do not bring pets on school grounds or into the school building. Many of our children have pet allergies or are afraid of animals; therefore, the presence of animals in school or on school grounds is prohibited. Some classes at Goodnoe Elementary School do participate in the Nor’Wester Reading Dogs program, so on occasion you may see dogs visiting. These dogs are specially trained and licensed to work in the schools with students. No other animals are permitted on school property during school hours. Please refer to our board policy for more information on animals in school policy 718 https://go.boarddocs.com/pa/coun/Board.nsf/vpublic?open#
