UPCOMING EVENTS
While the GOALS Academy Calendar provides you access to scheduled events throughout the year, this section highlights what is happening each month, as well as additional details.
Wednesday, December 4, 6:00-7:30 p.m. (Gr. 3 Classroom) -- Parents of English Learners Workshop: This workshop is specifically for parents of English Learners as we work together to develop a network of support. There will be opportunities for parent input and leadership, as well as the sharing of resources to help our English Learners become reclassified. Translation support and child care will be provided.
Friday, December 6, 1, 8:00-9:00 a.m. (Staff Lounge) -- School Site Council Meeting: Elected parent and staff representatives meet to learn about our school's programs, offer input, and make decisions. The agenda will be posted 72-hours prior to this meeting, and it is open to the public.
Monday, December 9, 5:30-6:00 p.m. (Gr. 3 Classroom) -- Governance Committee Meeting: A group of five Governance Committee Members provides oversight and makes decisions about GOALS Academy. The proposed agenda is posted 72-hours prior to this meeting, and it is open to the public. These are exciting times for GOALS Academy, and attendance at the Governance Committee Meetings is a way to be informed. It is similar to a school board meeting in the traditional district setting.
Wednesday, December 11 (Heritage Museum of Orange County, Kellogg House) -- Grade 2 Field Trip : Our second grade scholars will have an opportunity to study history/social science through this field trip. Thanks, parents, for your support of our learning excursions.
Wednesday, December 11 (Grade 3 Classroom) -- Traveling Scientist: Through a grant from the Orange County Department of Education, our third grade scholars will learn about ecology from experts. This is a time when the "field trip" comes to our scholars.
Wednesday, December 11, 6:30-8:00 p.m. (Anaheim Elementary School District, 1001 S. East Street, Anaheim . 92805) -- District Board Meeting: This is when the Anaheim Elementary School District Board will determine whether or not to renew the GOALS Academy Charter. We are hopeful that the answer will be "yes." Your presence at this meeting will be extremely helpful.
Thursday, December 12, (La Palma Park) -- GOALS Academy vs. Heritage Vista Soccer Tournament: Our Grade 3/4 and 5/6 scholars will participate in a soccer tournament with the scholars from this charter school in Santa Ana. Our teams practice with a Coach Steve on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Participation is determined by being responsible, respectful, safe, and kind.
Friday, December 13, Scheduled throughout Day (Playground) -- Snow Day: Scholars who have earned 20 Buddy Tickets will have an opportunity to play in the snow and enjoy hot chocolate. The goal is 100% participation, so we are focusing on catching our scholars being good. This was a hit last school year, so the scholars are looking forward to another Winter Wonderland in Anaheim.
Monday, December 16, through Sunday, January 5 -- Winter Break: GOALS Academy scholars will be out for three weeks for the holidays. School will resume on Monday, January 6, 2020. During the holiday season, we wish you wonderful times and golden memories with families and friends. Merry Christmas, warm wishes for Hanukkah, and Happy Kwanzaa. May our diverse beliefs unite us. Also, may the New Year of 2020 bring each of us hope and serenity at a school where we believe in the unlimited potential of each of our amazing scholars. Let their strengths shine!
