Goodyear Newsletter
Back to School Edition - September 4, 2021
Welcome Back to School
Please remember that all staff and students will wear masks inside the school building to start the year. We will update you with any changes to our masking policy. During the day, students will have opportunities for mask breaks and are not required to wear masks outside. We will also use other mitigating measures, such as distancing, throughout the day to the extent possible.
What You Need
School Forms
- Registration and student records (contact Mrs. Haggerty)
- Health status, annual physical, immunizations (contact Nurse Doherty)
- Annual Permissions Online Form (will be sent by WPS and mandatory for all students)
Student Supplies
- face mask
- backpack and school supplies
- nut-free snack
- check with your child's classroom teacher for additional items
Breakfast will be offered between 8:00am and 8:25am each day in the gymnasium. Students may enter through the side door (next to the main entrance).
Breakfast and lunch are free for Woburn Public Schools students. Please see the update in the Food Services section.
In addition, we are asking students to bring a beach towel or similar item as we will be using outdoor spaces for snack and lunch (weather permitting) to start the year. If any family needs assistance with any school-related items, please contact the school office. We want to help families and all requests remain confidential.
Welcome to the Goodyear, Mrs. Haggerty
The Goodyear is excited to share that Jessica Haggerty will be the administrative assistant in the Goodyear office for the upcoming school year. Mrs. Haggerty will be responsible for supporting families through the registration process, maintaining daily attendance, and facilitating daily communication between the school and families. We are very happy to welcome her to the Goodyear community.
We are in the process of hiring a school adjustment counselor and a special education teacher and will update the community when those positions have been filled.
Goodyear Bus Schedule 2021 - 2022
Students receiving bus transportation through the special education department do not need to complete this form. Any changes to your child's schedule should be communicated directly to the special education department.
All students must follow guidelines for safety and appropriate behavior on the school bus. This information is available in the Woburn Public Schools Elementary Handbook. Failure to follow the guidelines may result in consequences up to and including suspension from riding the bus.
We understand that dismissal schedules may need to change at times. Please communicate any changes in dismissal to the school office by 2:00pm each day to ensure that the message is shared with staff prior to dismissal.
