Dear Council Rock Community,
As part of the district’s continued efforts to ensure we are addressing all areas of need for our students, we are asking all Council Rock families and staff members to complete the following survey: Council Rock Student Wellness Survey - Formstack.
The survey will be open for responses until midnight on Sunday, November 10th. The feedback you provide in this survey will be used as an additional piece of data to help guide the district in determining which, if any, additional types of support in the areas of emotionality, social skills, and behavior would be helpful for our students.
The survey should take approximately five minutes. We are very grateful for your time and input! If you have difficulty opening the survey link above, it is also accessible on the Council Rock website at Wellness Survey link.
Thank you,
The Council Rock Special Services Team

During the past few weeks, your child’s class has been reviewing the SW-PBIS (School Wide- Positive Behavior Interventions & Support) school expectations. The lessons included a class discussion, modeling and practicing of respectful, responsible, and safe behaviors in the locations listed on the school-wide matrix. Your child’s class also learned about the voice levels that are expected for the different locations. Earlier this week your child brought home a paper copy of the matrix and voice level chart. Please take some time to review the papers with your child. The copies are for you to keep and refer to at home. There is a half sheet of paper for you and your child to sign and return to your child's homeroom teacher. Thank you for your support!
When escorting students to and from school, please do not bring pets on school grounds or into the school building. Many of our children are afraid of animals or have pet allergies; 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 105.3 https://go.boarddocs.com/pa/coun/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=AQ5KYB538D2B
