Through the hard work of our teachers, students, and parents, Goudy Technology Academy is a Level 1+ school! We want to thank the parents and the Goudy community for your continued support and collaboration to enable us to achieve such a distinguished rating. We look forward to another great school year in 2016-17!" Please see the report itself and the parent letter..
In light of recent national events, CPS has been testing the water for levels of lead at all schools. CPS is committed to the health and safety of our students and staff; this testing is conducted with an abundance of caution to ensure water in our schools is safe.
Results from Goudy indicate one fountain (located on the 3rd floor next to Room 305) was above the action level. The full results and resources to understand the process and next steps are now posted on online at CPS.EDU/LEADTESTING.
We will continue to keep you and your family informed throughout this process." Parent Letter|| Health Resources
