Golden West Associated Student Body will begin the annual Adopt-A-Star Program on Monday, November 26th at lunch in Room L-20.  The focus of the program is to be mindful of the needs of younger elementary students who more than likely will not be receiving any gifts for the holidays, it's been a Golden West tradition for over 25 years! Come by and adopt a star!

Harvest Pictures are ready to be picked up in the Attendance Office. Please come by before school during lunch or after school.

Due to the weather becoming colder we will be allowing students to wear beanies and headbands. Please remember they must be free of logos or decorations. The only logo that will be allowed will be our school logo. The beanies must be a single color white, black, grey, brown, tan or gold. This flexibility only applies to protection from the cold, not for hats. They may only be worn outdoors.
All Parents and Students:

Attention all students regarding TARDIES: If you have 4 or more tardies in one week you will lose off campus lunch privileges or be assigned lunch detention. To avoid these restrictions, please work to be ON TIME TO CLASS!

Failure to attend assigned Tardy Detention will result in loss of privileges. Example: Rallies, and extracurricular such as attending athletic events.

As of now students must have a valid GW student ID card to be allowed off campus during lunch.
