As the Spring weather sets in, an increasing number of students are opting to walk or bike to school. Furthermore, extensive road construction is underway, leading to altered routes for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike. Your vigilance is crucial: please exercise extra caution and adhere to our Dudley drop-off/pick-up guidelines to guarantee a secure transition to and from school each day. Your efforts in keeping our students safe are greatly appreciated!
At Gothenburg Public Schools, we strive to promote kindness and celebrate success. We challenge you to recognize our teachers & staff for the GLOWING job they do for our students and school every day! Please fill out this electronic form to share positive praise about anyone on the SWEDE staff! An administrator will share the positive news with the respective staff member. Let's spread compliments and share some "SWEDE APPRECIATION"!

We have another child who has accomplished the 1,000 Books Before the End of Kindergarten Challenge . Connor Knauss along with his parents Jake & Kayla have tackled the reading of 1,000 books. Connor's favorite book is "The Donkey Egg". His parents read to him and he thinks it is so fun to look at the pictures because of all of the colors. Way to go Connor!
High school mentors visit our elementary students throughout the week during their aiding periods. The smiles created by both the elementary and high school students capture the true bond they have built. Our mentor program just received STEM activities and books that strengthen the character traits taught in our weekly Swede Sessions that were purchased through an Applegate Grant funded by the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation. These activities create a springboard for positive interactions between mentor and mentee while building critical thinking and problem solving skills.
Good morning! I wanted to provide you with an update for Monday, May 6th (Elementary Track & Field Day). We have been watching the weather forecast and it doesn’t appear that Mother Nature wants us to have our traditional Track & Field Day outdoors. Rain or shine we will have events planned for you and your child to attend and enjoy. We know and understand how many of you have marked this day on the calendar so that you can spend the day with your children.
If the weather cooperates, we will move forward with our original plan of all of the events outdoors. Your child should have brought home a schedule of their events last week. Please check their backpacks. Please see the schedule that is attached (email and social media).
If the weather forces us to be indoors, we are planning an adjusted schedule along with alternative activities that will be conducted indoors in the north and south gym on the high school side of the building. If this is the option we need to take, we will send an additional message out on Sunday evening with all of the details.
Again, rain or shine we will move forward and make it a FUN day for our Dudley students and families. I want to send a huge thank you to Mr. Mahlberg along with the SPECIALS TEAM who have been working diligently to organize this big day as well as prepare the students for all of their events.
Thank you,
Mrs. Floyd

Tonight we celebrated another outstanding Gothenburg High School Honors Night! For over a quarter-century, Mr. Jerry Wiggins has been the steadfast organizer of this event! But tonight, the spotlight turns to him... as we honor his invaluable contributions. With tonight marking his 26th and final Honors Night, we bid farewell with heartfelt gratitude. Thank you, Mr. Wiggins!

Students in 4th grade created their own covered wagon at home that could “ford a river” and hold the weight of an egg which represented the weight a covered wagon would have endured. The students did such a great job and the project really showcased their creativity!
The offseason is when Swedes put in work!

Our second annual Dudley Family Night, themed "A Special Night To GLOW!," was a HUGE success this evening. From beginning to end, our families engaged in a diverse range of activities, including a vibrant GLOW Dance Party, a family photo booth, board games, face painting, creating glowing kindness rocks, bracelet crafting, bookmark making, conversation starters during dinner, and a reflective "glow & grow" activity. We were honored to welcome special guests including The Burg, GECLC & The Impact Center, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Gothenburg Public Library. A heartfelt appreciation goes out to our dedicated Dudley staff who carefully planned and executed this event, creating lasting memories for our Gothenburg families. Thank you for a truly unforgettable night!
