Digger Dash
Assembly
On Friday we kicked off the school’s largest fundraiser –
the Digger Dash – with an all school assembly.
The Digger Dash is an all school fun run that raises money for needs
that are identified by students and teachers.
Last year, students’ donations purchased $35,000 in books for
classrooms! This year we plan to spend donations
on new laptops, laptop carts and ipads. And
the prize for the students that run the most laps per classroom…a chance to
throw a pie at me! Look for your
child’s donation folder in his/her backpack this week.
New Security
Measures
Several new security measures were
put in place this summer to make Gold Rush an even safer learning environment
for students. One of those efforts was
the School Marshall program. A police
officer is now present at Gold Rush daily as a result of the Marshal
Program. The police officer patrols the
interior and exterior of our building.
We appreciate the additional community support and believe that together
we are making Gold Rush even safer!
Our front doors will also remain locked this year. The office opens at 8:30AM. BASE
students will enter in the back of the building through the cafeteria doors.
Parent Math
Sessions – Mark Your Calendar!
We know that helping your child with math can be difficult,
especially when he/she is learning strategies that you did not learn when you
were in school. We are hosting parent
information sessions in September that will teach parents the strategies that
your child will learn in class. All
math sessions will be held from 4:30-5:30pm. Due to conflicts raised by parents we revised our meeting dates. Sessions will be held on the following days:
September 11 = K & First Grade
September 12 = Third Grade
September 12 = Third Grade
September 19 = Second Grade
September 24 = Fourth & Fifth Grade
September 24 = Fourth & Fifth Grade
