Dear Golden Families,

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲-𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿! It has been so much fun welcoming our Golden Eagles back to campus and seeing the excitement, smiles, and energy throughout our school. After just two days, students are already settling into their classrooms, learning routines, reconnecting with friends, and showing us what it means to live 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱!

Thank you to our families for helping us start the year so successfully. Arrival and dismissal always takes a little extra patience during the first few days as everyone learns the routines, and I truly appreciate your support, flexibility, and kindness. Each day will continue to get smoother!

As we head into our first full week of school, we are excited to welcome our families back to campus for 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟬, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝟭–𝟲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗗𝗖 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀. This is an important opportunity to meet your child’s teacher, learn about classroom expectations and routines, and hear about the exciting learning ahead this year. Please remember that 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁-𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁, so we encourage families to plan ahead for childcare.

Our Golden PTA Meeting will also take place Thursday evening before Back to School Night. We have an incredible PTA that does so much to support our students, staff, programs, and community, and we would love to have you get involved this year!

There is so much to look forward to, and I am already incredibly proud of the way our students and staff have started the year. As we continue building routines and diving into learning this week, our focus remains on creating a school where every Golden Eagle is 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for helping us make Golden such a special place for our students.

𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝗪𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱!

Warmly,
Kristin McDonald
Principal, Golden Elementary
