Dear Golden Families,

Welcome to the 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲-𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿! I hope you are all as excited as I am for school to begin. There is truly nothing like the energy and excitement of the first day of school! I cannot wait to see our returning Golden Eagles back on campus and to welcome all of the new students and families joining our Golden community this year.

Our teachers and staff have been busy preparing classrooms, planning meaningful learning experiences, and getting everything ready to welcome your children. As many of you know, Golden is a very special place, and I am incredibly excited for all that is ahead this year.

This year, we are proud to introduce our new theme: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱. At Golden, we believe excellence is more than something we achieve. It is something we build together each and every day. Through high expectations, strong relationships, meaningful learning, and a commitment to one another, 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝗪𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱!

If you have not yet had a chance to read my 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, please view the News & Announcements section of our website homepage to read it.

Below you will find lots of important information as we prepare for the start of school. Please take a few minutes to read through it carefully. You can also expect a copy of our 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗘𝗮𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, filled with important information, upcoming dates, events, celebrations, and everything you need to stay connected to Golden.

*Please note with the amount of construction that has taken place this summer, there are some practices that may shift. There is a good chance you will get another message from me before the first day!

I am confident this is going to be another incredible year for our Golden Eagles. I look forward to seeing their smiling faces, welcoming them back to campus, and continuing to partner with all of you to make Golden the very best place for our students to learn and grow.

It is truly an honor and privilege to serve this incredible community as your principal. Thank you for your continued support, trust, and partnership. I cannot wait to see what we accomplish together this year!

𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝗪𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱!

With excitement,
Kristin McDonald
Principal, Golden Elementary
