P.T.O.

Tour the campus! Your student will have already been once with

their 5th grade class on June 2 or June 3. Get photographed for student I.D. and

yearbook photo! Collect your textbooks! Receive preliminary student schedule. School-wide scavenger hunt!!

V.I.P. Day- August 19th

All students can learn.

Teachers promote learning through quality instruction and a commitment to the California Common Core Standards.

Students grow when held accountable and demonstrate responsible behavior.

The social-emotional development of students parallels academic growth.

We Believe. . .

IT’S ALL ABOUT PERCEPTION!

Middle School Perception

There is absolutely no research correlation between

success and family background, race, national origin,

financial status, or even educational

accomplishments.

There is but one correlation with success, and that is

ATTITUDE.

Thank You For Coming Tonight

GOLDEN EAGLE FAMILY!!
