Friday, November 1, 8:00-9:00 a.m. (Staff Lounge) -- School Site Council (SSC) Meeting: The monthly SSC Meeting will be held. Parent and staff representatives discuss and make decisions regarding our school. The meeting is open to the public.
Friday, November 1, 5:00-9:30 p.m. (Anaheim Community Center) -- Dia de los Muertos Event: GOALS Academy will be part of this amazing community event, which honors those who have a presence in our hearts. Families are encouraged to send pictures to the school of loved ones who have passed on so they can have a place on our altar.
Saturday, November 2, 1:00-3:00 p.m. (Muzeo) -- Special Exhibit: This is a wonderful opportunity for our families to meet the author of the book The Adventures of Laila and Ahmed in Syria, written by Nushin Alloo and illustrated by Shadia Kassem.

Tuesday, November 5, 9:15 a.m.-1:15 p.m. (Santa Ana Zoo) -- Grade 2 Field Trip: This field trip has become a Grade 1 tradition as our scholars enjoy visiting the zoo as part of their science unit.

Wednesday, November 6, 8:45 a.m.-12:15 p.m. (McCarthy Hall) -- UCI Vision Screening: Our scholars' vision will be checked on this day. It is difficult to excel in school if you are unable to see clearly. We are grateful for the support from UCI to provide this service.

Thursday, November 7, and Friday, November 8 (Classrooms) -- Parent/Teacher Conferences: We believe that an authentic home/school partnership is needed to help our scholars thrive. For this reason, we hold two Parent/Teacher Conferences at the end of the first and second trimesters. Please schedule a time to meet with your scholars' teachers.

Thursday, November 7, from 1:30-6:00 p.m. (Cesar Chavez Campesino Park, Santa Ana) -- GOALS Academy vs. Vista Heritage Soccer Game: We were contacted by Vista Heritage to see if we were interested in playing a soccer game.
