The 3rd grade music program last night was fantastic. The kids did a great job, so many were dressed up and the ones with speaking parts and solos did an amazing job. Thanks, Ms. Marsh and all of the teachers and staff members who helped organize and practice all week and then came to watch last night.







Explorer Elementary School would like to extend our gratitude to all veterans on this Veterans Day. Your courage and sacrifice inspire us and we would like to honor your service and dedication to our nation.
Thank you for protecting our freedom and keeping our country safe.
With deep respect and appreciation,

Explorer families,
Next week we will be doing our Annual food drive. We will be having a grade level competition. The grade with the highest donations will win a pizza party!

Attention families, at the recent Site Council and parent coffee meetings, I talked to participants about their thoughts on communication and school culture. I would ask you to take a few minutes to fill out this survey that will give us information in these areas. You can click on this link https://forms.gle/5hJFo7o72enqz2B18 or use the QR code.

What is a Site Council?
For those who are new to our community, a Site Council is a collaborative group composed of parents, teachers, staff, and community members. This council plays a crucial role in shaping our school's policies and priorities. We work together to identify goals, provide input, and enhance the educational experience at Explorer.
Meeting Details:
The meeting will last approximately 45 minutes, ensuring that your valuable time is respected.
During our gathering, we'll discuss upcoming school initiatives, receive feedback, and explore opportunities for enhancing our children's education.
Enjoy a cup of coffee while connecting with fellow Explorer Parents and sharing your ideas.
Your presence and input can make a significant impact on the success of our school. We encourage you to attend either the morning or evening session to accommodate your schedule.
Feel free to invite other Explorer Parents who may be interested in participating.
We look forward to seeing you there and working together to continue making Explorer an exceptional place for our students.
If you have any questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
See you on November 6th for a cup of coffee, engaging discussions, and shared visions!
Sean Hollas,
Explorer Principal
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.
