Message from the Principal
When I walk around our campus and visit classrooms I see passionate teachers, eager students, and caring parents. When parents, teachers, and students work together a strong community is created. "Thank You" for helping us create a strong community here at CTA Goodman.

Firefighter - Rob Visited CTA Goodman
Parents of Chandler first- and second-graders can feel confident that Chandler Unified School District elementary schools are safer thanks to a partnership between the district and the Chandler Fire Department (CFD).
The CFD Partnership for L.I.F.E. (Learning In Firesafe Environments) program is a successful collaboration that involves teachers and custodians in the safety inspection process and targets first- and second-grade students for fire safety instruction.
CFD Fire Pals – a group of firefighters who are experienced and trained to educate students in fire safety – teach students these important lessons: Home Escape, Crawl Low Under Smoke, When Clothes are on Fire, Smoke Alarms, Match, and Lighter Safety, and the 9-1-1 System.
Since it was first introduced two years ago, the program has developed widespread support from school staff and produced dramatic increases in fire safety test scores for students. Elementary schools that choose to partner with the Chandler Fire Department participate in the program by completing the safety initiatives described below.
- Schools will allow the Fire Pal (specially trained firefighters who educate) program to educate all 1st and 2nd-grade students in six fire safety subjects. These six messages include:
- Home Escape and Planning
- Stop, Drop and Roll
- Crawl Low Under Smoke
- Smoke Alarms
- Match & Lighter Safety
- Calling 9-1-1
