Aside from assigning students to read at home, teachers will not be assigning required "homework".
Students who have not yet demonstrated proficiency in math facts are recommended to dedicate time at home to practice.
Students are expected to complete assigned work at school. Teachers will work with families to help encourage improved engagement at school and completion of assigned classwork.

Parents/Guardians Volunteering at the School

If you are checking out a student, always bring valid ID.
Due to space concerns in the cafeteria we are asking parents not to eat lunch with their student here at school on birthdays or special occasions, though you are certainly always welcome to check them out for lunch on those days.
As an additional safety precaution, we are asking all volunteers to complete the process associated with becoming an approved volunteer at Golden Fields (watch a 28 minute video, complete the annual volunteer form, and complete the one-time background check). Approved volunteers will be entered into our digital check-in system database that will print a custom volunteer name tag. Always bring valid ID show front office for verification.
Anyone visiting the interior of the school must have a clear purpose AND have completed the process to become an approved volunteer/visitor.
For grade level programs occurring during the school day, a check-in process will be followed that maintains constant supervision of visitors by staff in a designated area of the school (i.e. the gym).

Pets on School Property

Aside from trained service dogs, pets are not to be on school property.
Many students are afraid of pets and we ask that you keep them off of our school property for the comfort and safety all.
Pets are certainly welcome to help walk your students to/from school, but we ask they they wait off property. Where students need to "walk their wheels" we ask you to "pause your paws" (SE grass corner, NW sidewalk along 10200 S, and the crosswalk in front of the school.)
