Roadrunner Nation News
September 3rd
From the Principal
Hello Roadrunner Nation,
We are down to only a handful of days before school starts. The staff at Goodman appreciate your patience as we work through all the details of a remote start. We continue to recognize that our students and families may be experiencing anxiety.
It has come to our attention that the Schoology Platform will not upload with Powerschool until Late Sunday Night, September 6th. This is why you are unable to find the zoom links for teachers. We apologize for this delay. This is a software issue and unfortunately, nothing we can change. Please watch this short video with an overview of Tuesday's schedule.
Your teachers understand that remote learning will look very different from a "brick and mortar" classroom. We are asking that students have some basic supplies to start like pencils, notebooks, and lined paper. If you need support with getting these supplies, we can help. We will also be creating time during the week for families to pick up classroom materials like textbooks, art supplies, and workbooks. Please do not stress about materials and supplies at this time. We will get this figured out.
If you have any questions please call the office at (253) 530-1600.

PARENT PORTAL
The Peninsula School District (PSD) uses PowerSchool, a secure web-based system for our Parent Portal and student information system. We recently upgraded the way we store contact information in PowerSchool in order to provide more accurate information and faster communication in case of an emergency.
As we complete the upgrade process, we need all parents and legal guardians to update their contact information for each student.
What does this mean for me?
It is essential that you log in to the PowerSchool account you have for each student in your family. If you do not update each student’s contact information you run the risk of missing important information from your student’s school and PSD including emergency and weather-related information.
What should I do?
Please log in to your PowerSchool Parent Portal by navigating to the PSD website, then select the Portals dropdown (from the top navigation bar) and select Parent Portal. Please note: You will not be able to update your information via the PowerSchool mobile app.
Then, simply click the Year Round Update from the left-hand menu to review and update each student account in your portal. Please do this as soon as possible.
What’s next?
Once you update each student’s account with correct contact information, you are done.
We recommend you check each of your student’s information on an annual basis. Any time there is a change at home, please update your contact information as it can be updated year-round. PSD will send reminders to all families at the beginning of each school year.
What if I don’t have a PowerSchool account?
Getting an account is easy! Contact us to get a Parent Portal account letter that will give you instructions on how to create an account.
Class Schedule Change Request
Here is the link to our online schedule change request form in the event that there is a problem with your schedule. Schedule changes are made if students were placed in the wrong grade-level core class, are missing a class in their schedule, or have duplicate courses. Please follow the schedule you see in your portal until you receive an email letting you know what change was made.
