It was a spooky scary Halloween concert tonight at Explorer. The 4th graders and Mrs. Marsh did a great job!




Good evening, We have a new registrar/attendance secretary at Explorer, her name is Stephanie Shoff.
Many of you may know her as she has been very active in our PTO and worked as one of our psychologists secretaries here since last year. Her email is sshoff@goddardusd.com. If you stop by the school or call please say hi and if you don't know Stephanie, introduce yourself. We are excited to have Stephanie join our team.
