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!

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
Students in grades K-3 were treated to a visit from author Beth Ferry on Tuesday. Beth Ferry shared her love of reading, word play, tips for where to get ideas, and how important revisions are in writing. She also read a few books that will come out this summer and fall. Author visits are typically funded using book fair profits. Thank you for supporting our book fairs and our students love of reading and writing.
We previously shared that Reading Horizons is the new ELA program being used in kindergarten through 2nd grades to teach phonemic and phonics foundational skills. Wonders is the other ELA program that was implemented this year in 1st through 5th grades. It is designed to help students meet high academic standards and prepare them for future success. Grades 1st through 2nd are using Wonders for the comprehension and writing components of instruction. Grades 3rd through 5th are using Wonders for all components of reading and writing instruction.
Students are reading and rereading short, complex texts. They are learning to take notes, ask and answer text-dependent questions, and cite text evidence. Over time, the goal is for students to transfer and apply what they have learned to other texts. Our Goodnoe students are working hard each and every day to grow their reading skills and become proficient readers and writers.
Happy May! We are Melissa Sablowsky and Lauren Pascucci, the speech-language pathologists who serve the students of Goodnoe Elementary.
In honor of National Speech-Language-Hearing month we wanted to share a few facts about what areas Speech-Language Pathologists in schools can help to support. We support students and their education teams in the following areas:
Join us to celebrate our GES student artists at the CR District Art show May 10th and 11th. The show will be located in the CR North Gymnasium. Artwork can be viewed 6-8pm on Friday, May 10th and 10am-2pm on Saturday, May 11th. We hope to see you there to support the arts in Council Rock!

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#
