We look forward to connecting with our Golfview families and working together to support our students' success! 💚🐊

This year, students in 1st–5th grade will participate in student-led conferences! This is a special opportunity for students to take the lead in sharing their learning, celebrating their accomplishments, and reflecting on areas where they can continue to grow.

Please be sure to bring your 1st–5th grade student to the conference! Students play an important role in these conversations and are excited to showcase their hard work and share everything they have learned so far this school year.

We can't wait to celebrate the amazing progress our Gators have made! 🐊💚

🍎 Kindergarten Families: Student-led conferences are for grades 1–5 only. Kindergarten conferences will be held between parents/guardians and teachers, so kindergarten students do not need to attend.

This Veterans Day, Golfview Elementary would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

We are grateful for your courage, dedication, and sacrifices. Today and every day, we honor our veterans and the military families who support them.

To all our Golfview families who have served, thank you for your service!

Our Gators will begin their Winter i-Ready Testing on Tuesday, December 1st! This assessment helps teachers see how much students have grown academically and identify areas where they may need additional support.

Families can help their students prepare at home! 🏡💻

We encourage parents to have their students spend time completing i-Ready lessons on their Chromebooks in the following subjects:

• 📖 Reading (English)

• 📖 Reading (Spanish)

• 🔢 Math

Practicing at home is a great way to strengthen skills, build confidence, and help students feel ready for their winter assessments!

Join us for our next Coffee with the Principal on Thursday, December 17, from 8:30–9:30 AM!

This is a wonderful opportunity for Golfview families to connect with our principal, ask questions, share concerns, and have open conversations about anything related to our school.

Whether you have a specific question or simply want to stop by and connect, all families are welcome! 💚

We look forward to seeing you there!

All field trip information and important updates will be shared directly by your child's teacher.

Once the field trip permission slip becomes available through PushCoin, parents/guardians must log in to their PushCoin account and complete the required permission slip.

Please note: Students must have a completed permission slip submitted through PushCoin in order to attend their field trip.

Get ready to find your next favorite book! Our Golfview Book Fair will be held November 16–20, 2026. We can’t wait for our students to explore all the fun and exciting books available!

💳 Skip the Cash with eWallet!
Families can create an eWallet account and add money ahead of time, making it easy for students to shop at the Book Fair without having to carry cash to school.
