Students can pick up their cell phones from the office at dismissal.
STUDENT MESSAGES:
Please make sure that your student knows how they are going home each day. It is difficult to get messages to students without interrupting the instruction of others. Teachers and staff will expect students to go home the same way each day unless the student has a note saying otherwise.
Also...if a student is riding the bus to a friend's house, we must have a note from both homes. We want to ensure that all parents are aware of the plans.

Golden Hills has established a Bully Hotline for students to call and report bullying incidents here at school. All student calls will be kept confidential and all incidents will be investigated.
We encourage students to continue reporting bullying incidents to school officials; however, if they feel more comfortable, they may call the hotline from home at 532-6000, ext. 2609. Please remember to leave your name when calling.
