Dear Goshen Family, We appreciate you and your continued partnership as we continue to shave off time on our arrival & dismissal procedures. We wanted to take a moment to ask for your support with these four areas to continue to help build our students' independence as we help them to be prompt & prepared. Together we are showing successful gains on our adventure to success. Partnering together, Wendy Ashley, GCES Principal

Goshen Family, We want to thank you for your support, cooperation, and dedication in helping to make Goshen the best place to be as we work through adapting to our community's growth during our arrival and dismissal procedures. Our district and community police officers have been instrumental in helping to implement this process of keeping traffic flowing while ensuring everyone’s safety. We continue to ask for your partnership and focus on working together as a community. Together, we can make this system the best as we keep everyone safe, secure, and successful. We would like to focus and ask for your support on five key points: 1. During arrival and dismissal times as you are traveling south down Pojo Dr, please do not turn left into the front parking lot. This will help maintain the traffic flow into one direction. 2. During arrival and dismissal times, please always exit to the right out of the front parking lot. 3. When waiting to enter the north entrance gate, please pull over into the grass on Pojo to ensure traffic can maintain the flow on Pojo Dr. 4. When unloading or loading at the north gate entrance and you are in two lanes, please be kind as the two lanes merge into one at the second gate. 5. Please remember that our district and community police officers are here to help and provide safety for all our students, families, and staff members. Kindly do your part to help keep them safe as well. By helping with these four key points, we will keep Goshen strong. As always, we appreciate you and your continued partnership in making Goshen the best place to be. With the small changes made to our morning and afternoon procedures, we have been able to cut the total duration of time in half. Each day, we will continue to see drastic improvements with your help. Stronger together, Wendy Ashley, Goshen Creek Elementary Principal
