Dear Goshen Students and Families,
We’ve had a fantastic start to the school year! The energy in the halls, the enthusiasm in the classrooms, and the smiles on students’ faces have been inspiring. It’s clear that we are all committed to making this year one of growth, learning, and connection.
One of the keys to a successful school year is consistent attendance. When students are present, engaged, and participating, they build the skills and knowledge needed to succeed. Attendance is crucial not just for academic achievement, but also for fostering relationships and a sense of belonging. Every day counts, and we appreciate your support in encouraging regular attendance.
Our school culture is built on mutual respect, kindness, and looking out for one another. We believe that by taking care of each other, we create an environment where everyone can thrive. Whether it’s helping a classmate, respecting our school, or simply being a positive presence, every action contributes to the culture we’re building together.
I also want to highlight the positive impact we’ve seen from limiting cell phone use during the school day. Without the distraction of screens, students are more focused, engaged, and present. This has already led to deeper discussions, stronger connections, and a more vibrant learning environment. We’re proud of the way our students have embraced this change, and we’re excited to see the long-term benefits.
Thank you for your ongoing support as we continue to make this school year a success. Together, we’re building a community where every student has the opportunity to excel.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Walker
