Dear Golden Hills Families,
Last month we had amazing attendance! We love having our Eagles here to participate and learn! Our goal this year is to have 95% daily attendance and we are REALLY close! We have so many fun things planned in the last 5 weeks of school and we want ALL of our students here to participate.
Our afterschool clubs are in full swing. The Girls on the Run Girls have been practicing for the 5k. We have Art club with Ms. Weston, STEAM club with Ms. Zarzynski, Leadership Club, track and tutoring for both grade levels. It is so great to see so many students participating!
Our Summer school, Palermo Fun in the Fun, has filled up quickly. We have around 75 fourth and fifth graders participating. If your student signed up you will be receiving more information soon!
The Golden Hills Olympics are coming! Golden Hills Olympics will be from May 24th-June 7th. Each class will choose a team name and design a flag. Every morning the school will meet to say the pledge of allegiance and compete in 20 plus events ranging from the bean bag toss to the mile run. Students are awarded ribbons and medals at the closing ceremony! A huge thank you to Mrs. Dailey & Ms. Zarzynski for organizing this, it is a favorite Golden HIlls events.
CAASPP Testing is coming, May 8th-17th. Students will take the computer-based/paper -based California Standards Assessments in Science Assessment (5th grade only) (CAST), 4/5 Grade English Language Arts CAASPP Assessment, and 4/5 Grade Math CAASPP Assessment.
To help support your student’s success during testing please ensure your child:

Gets a good night's sleep
Feels encouraged to do their best.
