It takes a village... and our village is the best.

Behind every great student is a dedicated team of teachers, drivers, custodians, and support staff. They are more than just employees; they are the heart of the #265Family.

Is there someone who has made a difference in your life or your child’s life this year? Whether they provide a safe ride to school or a word of encouragement in the hallway, we want to hear about it!

Nominate them for the #265Family Award today. A few minutes of your time could lead to a $100 surprise for a well-deserving staff member!

Let’s celebrate them! Nominate your hero for the #265Family Award. It’s a quick way to say "thank you" and gives them a chance to win a $100 cash prize!

USD 265 - DRIVER EDUCATION 2025-2026 (Session #3) Driver Education is a voluntary education opportunity provided by Goddard Public Schools. Eligibility standards are set by the state, and enrollment standards are maintained by USD 265. To be eligible for driver education, students must be at least 14 years old by May 18th, 2026. Students must be registered with completed enrollment form and full payment in order to participate. Driver Education will consist of three parts: 1. In-Person Meeting for Students and Instructors: Students will meet with an instructor to complete the Driver Education Permit application (DE-99) and the Kansas Driving Handbook (KDH) test during this meeting. A review session will take place prior to the KDH test. Students who have already obtained an instructional permit will need to bring their permit to the meeting. Meeting dates and times are as follows: GHS & Academy - Wednesday, April 15th, 2026 - 3:00-4:00pm - GHS Lecture Hall* EMS - Thursday, April 16th, 2026 - During Student’s
Important Information for Teen Drivers - Kansas uses a graduated driver license (GDL) process allowing increased driving privileges with age and experience. Teen drivers between the ages of 14 and 17 follow the graduated driver's license process. Teen drivers can obtain their Learner's Permit at the age of 14. Whether taking Driver Ed immediately or not, it is highly recommended that students obtain their Learner's Permit as close to their 14th birthday as possible. Teen drivers need to have their Learner's Permit for one year before they can move on to a Restricted License, and the one year begins the day they get their Learner's Permit. Important note: Any student who fails the written test more than 3 times at the DMV will not be able to take Driver Education for 6 months.
