We are all deeply saddened by yesterday's tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. The senseless violence leaves us upset and at a loss as to why.
The staff at Mary K. Goode School is committed to maintaining safety for your children. The care of students is the number one priority at our school. We are thankful that you trust us to provide a warm, safe environment for them.
Be prepared for your children to ask questions. We certainly encourage you to have conversations using the means you best deem possible. Here are a few links that may be helpful.
