GOALS Academy
A school that families love!
Welcome Back Scholars!
We are excited to start our 4th year together.
DETAILS FOR EVENTS AT GOALS ACADEMY
Please keep visiting the GOALS Academy Webpage to receive updates about GOALS Academy. It is important to be informed in order to be engaged and involved in your scholar's education. Your involvement will contribute to your scholar's success in school and life. We also need your support to co-create our small, but mighty school. Together we can accomplish miracles!
Friday, August 17, at 7:45 a.m. -- School Site Council (SSC) Meeting (Staff Lounge): Parents and staff representatives are elected to discuss and make decisions regarding GOALS Academy. They are the voting members of the SSC, but all are welcomed to attend, speak at the beginning of the meeting, and observe the process. The agenda will be available on the GOALS Academy Webpage and Facebook prior to the meeting (72 hours in advance).
Friday, August 24, from 5:30-8:00 p.m. -- Back-to-School Night (Front of School and Classrooms): It is important to attend Back-to-School Night and learn about the behavioral and academic expectations for your scholars' new grade levels. There will be a General Meeting from 5:30-6:00 p.m. at the front of the school. This will include the introduction of the candidates for SSC parent positions, as well as the distribution of the ballots. We will have two classroom presentations for our families with two scholars attending our school -- 6:00-6:45 p.m. and 6:45-7:30 p.m. Spanish translation will be available. If you have more than two scholars attending GOALS Academy, please find a way to attend all sessions by dividing and conquering (both parents, grandparents, etc.).

Please consider eating fast food this one night to support our school. More details will follow from F.A.S.T., including a flyer you need to have in hand when you make your purchase for the school to receive credit.

Quotes from Our Service Labs
At GOALS Academy, we believe in the development of service leadership in our scholars, as well as ourselves. With this in mind, members of our Service Labs in Grades 5 and 6 came up with a series of quotes to guide their lives.
Life is like a race car. It goes by so fast and you can't remember what you saw.
Athena
Life is like pizza. You take it one slice at a time.
Ethan
When you say "try," that means you're not going to do it. Don't try your best. Do your best.
Gabriel
If you love life, then prepare for this wonderful and wild roller coaster!
Jack
Life is like Scooby Doo, Sherlock Holmes, or a Series of Unfortunate Events -- full of mystery.
Jordyn
Don't be someone that another person wants you to be. Be the person you want to be.

DROP OFF & PICK UP PROCEDURESRemember, the drop-off and pick up zone for drivers is on the south side of the school, closest to La Palma Park. Cars should cue up on N. La Palma Park Way and Homer Street. Walkers are to enter through the password protected pedestrian gate on the north side of the school off of W. Carl Karcher Way.
For details, please see this flyer. The password for the pedestrian gate is periodically changed and is provided to our families via a separate flyer. Thank you for following these procedures and keeping our scholars safe! |
SUPPLY LIST DONATIONSSome of our families have asked us what supplies their children will need for the first day of school. Because we are a free, public, charter school, we will provide everything your child needs to be successful in school. However, if you would like to help out GOALS Academy, the following Supply List will provide you guidance. And, for any basic supplies we don’t have to purchase because of your donations, we will have increased funds to provide a highly enriched learning experience. You can access the suggested Supply List through the link below. Thank you!
