Goddard Public Schools Families,
Goddard Public Schools will not be in school on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, due to ongoing hazardous driving conditions.
City, County, and District crews are working tirelessly to clear roadways, parking lots, and sidewalks, and we offer our deepest appreciation to them for their dedicated efforts. Given the extent of snow/ice in neighborhoods across the District, additional time is needed to ensure a safe return to school.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.


Help us celebrate School Board Appreciation Month this January by joining us for a USD 265 Board of Education Meet & Greet event!
This come-and-go event is open to the public and will take place from 6:15 - 6:50 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 13th, 2025 in the BOE Room at the Central Administration Center (201 S. Main St. Goddard, KS 67052). Let’s celebrate the pride, growth, and excellence of our #265Family together!


Happy New Year!

CDS students celebrated fundraising for the GEF Ticket to Ride campaign with an all school assembly where GHS cheerleaders, football players, dance squad, and drum-line performed. CDS was the third highest fundraiser out of all the schools and earned over $2,000 to support their school’s special projects. Plus, teachers who contributed had the chance to pie Mr. Cavanaugh!











Shoutout to our PTO who provided an Apple 🍎 bar and Hydration Station 💦for staff today!

"A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results." – Wade Boggs
Congratulations to Mrs. Robin Perkins for receiving the District Attitude Award! Robin was nominated by Piper White and Dane Baxa. Piper White wrote, “The print shop is not an easy or stress-free environment especially when you get multiple orders each day from all around the district, but Robin does so with a smile on her face. At the beginning of the year (or her busiest time) she and her staff worked so hard to make sure all staff had the orders before the first day of school. On top of just getting us the orders she also wrote positive messages that always leave us smiling. Robin communicates effectively, and if there is ever a rush order needed, she is not afraid of the challenge. Robin is a rock star!”
Dane Baxa wrote, “Robin Perkins stepped up to help the District in a big way after the sudden loss of Nancy Johnson. Robin is more than just a skilled Print Shop operator; she’s a problem-solver who brings positivity and energy to her work every day. She often anticipates the needs of teachers, administrators, and staff, frequently stepping in to assist with last-minute requests and high-volume projects without hesitation. Her reliability and willingness to do whatever it takes to support others have made her an invaluable resource.
She developed a plan to visit every school during orientation, making a personal connection with as many staff members as possible, building positive relationships, and explaining the services she provides and the process for submitting print jobs.
Beyond her exceptional technical abilities, Robin’s attitude exemplifies the values of our district. Her commitment to excellence and genuine kindness uplift everyone she works with. She is always quick to offer encouragement, inspiring our Community Relations Team and those around her.”
