Golden Eagle News

Dear Golden Families,

Thank you to everyone for coming this week to Lunch with a Loved One! It was a hit as usual! We love inviting our community onto campus!

This week we are excited to celebrate all of our teachers and staff members who work so hard to make Golden so special! Our students are so lucky to have the best team around! Of course it is optional, but let's help our teachers and staff members feel special this week!

Today is the last day to order your yearbook! I cannot tell you how important it is to order this today if you have not done so already!

Looking forward to a special week of appreciations! Remember, state testing is just around the corner. Being at school is imperative for your child's success! If they could be in school, they should be in school! Thank you for your partnership and support!

Warmly,

Kristin McDonald

Principal, Golden Elementary

2025-26 Returning to Golden Form

As you all know, this is Golden's 60th Anniversary! To help celebrate this and our recent California Distinguished School Award, our AMAZING PTA has purchased a t-shirt for every student and staff member! We will be taking a photo on Wednesday. T-shirts are in, but will not go home with students until after the photo. We are planning on taking the photo Wednesday morning and we will happily share it with everyone soon!

It is that time of the year - order your yearbook now! It is the best deal in town...

Get your 170-page hardback yearbook for only $30 until May 4th.

Students in PYLUSD can apply to any of the career technical education academies and pathways that are located at each high school regardless of where they live in the district, so we want to share about them now to help our families understand all the opportunities available to them. El Dorado is home to our Digital Media Arts Academy. Please enjoy this overview video about this academy and explore their website as you think about your student’s future.
