Dear Golden Families,

What a wonderful week at Golden! It was an absolute honor to be part of Mrs. Rasic’s Teacher of the Year announcement with the PYLUSD Prize Patrol. We also loved hosting our first annual Mid-Winter Concert featuring our 4th–6th grade strings, band, and vocal students. Each performance was impressive, and we are so thankful to the families who were able to attend. If you missed it, don’t worry, we will repeat this celebration in the spring near the end of the year!

We are looking forward to a week of kindness and love full of 100th Day Celebrations and Valentine Parties!

As a reminder, there is no school on Monday in observance of Lincoln’s Birthday. Here are a few important highlights that you can read more about below:

✔️ It’s time to register incoming TK and Kindergarten students who will be new to Golden next year.
✔️ Please review the upcoming Golden Avenue closure, which will impact arrival and dismissal procedures.
✔️ Our award-winning Love and Logic Parent Classes begin Tuesday morning. If you’re unsure how to register, simply show up, we will help you during the first session. These are outstanding parenting classes and highly recommended!
✔️ Don’t forget to sign up for the REACH Shamrock N’ Run. We’ve set a goal to increase Golden participation. We hope to see many of you walking or running with us!

Also PLEASE help us out and take the LCAP/Stakeholder Survey! Your voice is important!

Have a wonderful long weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday!

Warmly,
Kristin McDonald
