We've got another cold weekend ahead of us, so we wanted to share this graphic from the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS). In the winter months, layering is essential to staying warm. We recommend labelling your student's smaller items like hats, gloves, and scarves, as they are easily lost. We also recommend washing these items and their coats regularly. Stay warm and have a great weekend!


Help us in congratulating these elementary students on earning a spot on the "A" or "A/B" Honor Roll for 1st Semester! We are very proud of you! #GoEagles



These elementary students showed fantastic citizenship and earned their name on the citizenship board for the entire 1st Semester! Congratulations, students! We see you doing great things and being great people!


Just a friendly reminder during cold and flu season, if your student has a fever or has been vomiting, they must be fever-free for 24 hours without medication before coming to school. They also must not have vomited in 24 hours without medication before coming to school. Also, if they are sent home form school with fever or vomiting, they cannot return the next day, per school policy (elementary handbook page 19; MS/HS handbook page 28). If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Nurse Debbie @ dnims@goldencity.k12.mo.us.
