Message from the Principal
Welcome to Golden View Elementary School! As Golden View’s principal, I am extremely excited and committed to making 2011-2012 a successful and enjoyable year for all. We are on a steady course of academic achievement due our dedicated and caring staff working closely with our supportive parents and community to provide exemplary educational opportunities for all our kindergarten through fifth grade students. The hard work and dedication by all has paid off with an increase of 41 points to our API bringing it up to 877! We will continue to build on our momentum of providing excellence for every child every day! Closing the achievement gap between our variety of learners in reading, writing and mathematics is our focus, as well as our commitment to providng all Golden View students with the academic and pro-social behaviors that will be the foundation of their present and future success.
Golden View School is an open plan school, both in structure and philosophy. It was designed to support the instructional program through large and small open spaces. This structure promotes the easy sharing of teaching strategies, ideas, materials, and students. Each year many students attend our school through open enrollment and interdistrict transfers to take advantage of our unique educational programs and setting.
A key strength of our school is the positive climate that has been established through the development of our "Golden Rules" school wide behavior support system. We are further committed to extending and applying classroom learning to other settings. This commitment is exemplified through our Student Environmental Learning Facility (S.E.L.F.) and our Kid's Club. The S.E.L.F. is a two acre "farm" that the students and teachers utilize extensively to integrate learning across all curricular areas. Kid's Club is a before and after school child care program that supports the school curriculum and is available to all Golden View students.
Golden View has an extraordinary staff dedicated to providing a safe and engaging learning environment that promotes thinking and learning for our students. We encourage students to build upon this tradition of excellence to achieve their individual goals.
We look forward to working with students and parents this year and hope this website becomes a useful resource for you and the community. I am always available to answer any of your questions or concerns. You can call me at (714)847-2516 or e-mail me at eburney@ovsd.org.
