Goshen Creek Elementary School

Kindergarten was working hard growing their math minds by identifying patterns, counting on, place value, and adding.

Third grade was THRIVING on a safari hunt to find & use their context clues during their reading class.

We have been informed by the City of Springtown that FM 51 is currently closed from 199 to Lynch Bend due to a fatal accident. Traffic is being rerouted, and at this time, we do not know if the road will reopen before our buses begin their routes. If your student rides buses 39, 52, 75, 81, or MB11, please be aware that drop-off times may be earlier or later than usual due to the rerouting. If you have specific questions, please contact our transportation department at 817-220-1418. Additionally, if you typically drive this route to pick up your child, we recommend planning an alternate route to avoid FM 51. Staff members who drive this route should also prepare for alternate routes when leaving for the day.

We are thankful for these ladies and all of their "heart-work" that they do daily to make Goshen the best place to be!
