This will bring up a PDF version of the report card with the cover letter.
On November 22, our fourth-grade students celebrated books and reading in their classrooms. In addition to an amazing celebratory feast, students were treated to some of Council Rock's administrators and teachers reading a favorite picture book. It was a wonderful event for everyone, and a great way to celebrate reading.
Happy Thanksgiving from the music room! We have been learning some fun all-school songs about being thankful this week. Click this link to share our songs and activities at home. Have fun and sing LOUDLY!
Art Goes to School will be back at GES to join us in the art room December 9-13 for grades first through third. AGTS is a local, volunteer-based and non-profit organization that brings art appreciation to students in the Delaware Valley. They will share an array of fine artworks with our students and engage them in investigation, discovery and conversation about these artworks.

The district has invited County Detective Dante Montella, from the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, to speak at all Council Rock schools over the next several weeks. At the elementary level, he will meet with students in grades 4-6 to discuss Cyber Safety on Wednesday, December 11th at 9:30 a.m. We believe Detective Montella’s discussion will be valuable for our students.

Please take some time to look through the items on the racks to see if anything belongs to your family members.

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
