Gallup Poll
The Gallup Student Poll is a 20-question survey that measures hope, engagement, and well-being for students in grades 5-12. Please click on this link for additional information. Students will be surveyed on Wednesday, October 27th, during 3rd Block. The survey will not ask for any information that can identify your student, and it should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. If you would like to opt-out of this survey, please make a written request to your child’s school. If you have any questions, please contact Catherine Richards, Goochland High School’s Instructional Technology Coach, at crichards@glnd.k12.va.us. The feedback we collect from this survey will guide our work to continue to deliver a quality educational experience for your child, and we appreciate your support.

Patio Expansion
As a reminder, the back patio will be closed to students and staff as the patio expansion project continues this week. Upon completion, this project will ultimately provide greater outdoor space for students. Once again, any students who enter the building from the back parking lot must enter through Door 3 near the greenhouse in the mornings and afternoons rather than through the cafeteria doors.
Poinsettia Sale
It’s that time again! Please consider ordering some beautiful Poinsettias from our very own Southern States to support Goochland County All Night Graduation. They invite you to ask your friends, family, church, and business to order online using this link. The All Night Graduation Committee appreciates your support!
Report Card Distribution
Report cards will be distributed to all students during Bulldog Block on Wednesday, October 27th.
Sick Kicks Shoe Drive
Goochland High School is continuing the Sick Kicks Shoe Drive program again this year! The final collection day will be Wednesday, December 1st. This deadline will provide us with enough time for organizing, sanitizing, and sorting the shoes to prepare them for distribution on Saturday, December 11th.
If you would like to donate shoes, please drop them off at the high school in the hallway near the front entrance during the school day. We will have a donation box in the foyer. We will also accept donations during home football games throughout the fall. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Hailey (21teaguea@glnd.k12.va.us), Easton (22bowmane@glnd.k12.va.us), or me (cwcollier@glnd.k12.va.us) with any questions.
Underclass Pictures
To allow students to dress for Spirit Week, we have postponed our underclass picture days. Instead of this week, we will take Underclass pictures on Thursday, October 28th, and Friday, October 29th, 2021. Freshmen and sophomores will take pictures through PE classes. Juniors will take pictures through English classes. Students can pick up a picture form from their PE or English teachers later in the month. Freshmen and Sophomores not in a PE class will take their pictures during their Bulldog Block. Makeup pictures for all underclassmen will be on Friday, November 5th.
Please email questions to Ms. Coddington (ecoddington@glnd.k12.va.us).
