The Elementary 'University' of Teaching and Learning! We're Just That Good!

Parents, if your student is a car rider, please make sure you have a numbered car tag and your child knows the number on the tag. We ask that all of our parents remain in their cars and use the car rider tag to pick up their students at the end of the instructional day! If you are in need of a tag, please come to the front desk from 7:30a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
 
We have a high number of car rider students. Please be patient and stay in line on South Post Oak. Fort Bend Authorities have redirected the school's traffic to make dismissal move at a faster pace without blocking Sycamore Road. Cars are no longer allowed to turn left into the school's parking lot from Sycamore Road during afternoon dismissal. Thank you!

Thank you to all of the Goodman parents, family and friends who have joined the PTA. It's not too late to join. The PTA needs you. Get connected and get involved by filling out the attached form. Return the completed form AND $5 membership fee to the PTA Lockbox. (The PTA Lockbox is located on the front desk of Goodman Elementary.)

Lula Belle Goodman was born and raised in Fort Bend County. After graduating from Prairie View A&M College, she received several offers to teach. She chose to return home, and to share with the children of her community her love of learning.
 
She taught students in Fort Bend ISD for 41 years, touching the lives of children across our district. During her career she taught at St. John’s School in Dewalt, the Oak Lane School in Arcola, New Hope School in Stafford, M.R. Wood in Sugar Land, and Lakeview Elementary in Sugar Land.
 
Lula Belle Goodman was the ultimate educator and caretaker of the children in her charge. In one nominating letter, a former student recalled, “She fed her students’ minds, as well as their bodies and souls. She cut wood for a fire to keep students warm and comfortable, prepared food to nourish her most hungry students, and brought clothing and shoes when students were without.”
 
Through three generations, Lula Belle Goodman taught the children of our community with her caring spirit, loving heart, and inspiring example. Although Ms. Goodman passed away in April of 2001, the foundations that she laid in her one-room classroom are building future generations of responsible, caring citizens.

Please make sure your child’s teacher is informed of how your child will get home each day. 
If the regular plan should change, we must have a note in writing from you with your signature on the day of the change. 
In cases of emergency you may fax us a request at 281-634-6000 but follow up with a phone call to confirm receipt of the fax.  We need any emergency changes at least 45 minutes prior to dismissal time to ensure that we can get the information to your child’s teacher. 
Remember, we have many students being dismissed at the same time everyday. 
Thank you for understanding!

Principal, Lisa Langston
Assistant Pincipal, Tracy Dennis

Students may enter the building at 7:30 a.m. each school day.  Please plan your child’s arrival no earlier than this, as there will be no adult on duty until 7:30 a.m.
 
 CAR RIDERS: All K-5 car rider students will be dropped off and picked up using the front door ramp.  Children are to be released from the car at the curb side only.
For afternoon dismissal, parents will be given a numbered car rider tag that MUST be displayed in the front window of your vehicle.  For your safety and your child’s safety, please remain in your car. 

Beginning the first day of school, upon entering the building, students will go directly to their grade level pod area. All children should have a book to read while they are waiting to be escorted to their classrooms.  The first bell rings at 8:00a.m.  It’s important for all children to be at school by this time. 
The tardy bell rings at 8:10 a.m. 
 
If your child is not in the classroom at
8:10 a.m., he/she will be counted tardy.
 
Thank you to the hundreds of students who make it by the 8:10 a.m. morning bell each and every day.  Consequences for repeat tardies are no fun for either students or parents. 
 
School ends at 3:10pm

In our efforts to promote a healthy environment and save trees we are starting the new school year with a recycling bin. Please bring recyclable items such as; newspapers, junk mail, office paper, food boxes (cereal, cookies, etc) and dump them in our bin. This bin is located in the teachers’ parking lot in the back area.
 
This program will also allow us to earn money for the purpose of acquiring important school items.
Help us in this important and meaningful cause. Teach your child the importance of recycling.
