Principal Dave Golden

 Dave
Golden was born and raised in a
small town in upstate New York. He attended
Albany
State University and received his
Bachelor’s, Master’s and
Advanced Study Degrees from that school.
Following college, Dave taught in the
inner city of Albany for seven years.
He became an Assistant Principal in
1979 and had his first Principalship
in 1988. He and his wife, Sibel, moved
to Washington State in 1995. He has
been principal at Marysville-Pilchuck
High School and, since 2000, has
been a proud Royal. He lives with his
wife and 8 year old son, Eli, in north
Seattle. When asked what he likes best
about Lynnwood High School, Mr. Golden
said, “In over thirty years of
education, I have never been involved
in a school that had a more considerate
and kind group of students and staff.
There is a sense of family at Lynnwood
that just doesn’t usually exist
in high schools today. We are a really
good school aiming to be even better.” |
Dear Parents,
A Message from the Principal: May, 2008
Well, the year is winding down and summer will soon be upon us. I’d like to thank you for all your support this year. I believe that it has been a really good one. From our early football victories to our last assembly program, extra-curricular activities have been outstanding this year. Our new Activities Coordinator, Ms. Aly Nelson and our new Athletic Coordinator, Mr. Rob McMains, have been great additions to our staff. Our students have been well behaved (behavior incidents are down) and working hard (I believe test scores will be up) and to top it off, you have shown your commitment to quality technology in our classrooms with your support of the Tech Levy.
Next year will surely be eventful as we close one building and open another. So, rest up and encourage your child to read, read and read some more this summer.

A Message from the Principal: Jan 2008
Improving Our Communication to You
Dear Royal Families,
We hope you like our new shorter, but more frequentnewsletter format. I wanted to share with you was the inspirational work done by so many of our students as they collected cans for our local food shelter. Annually, we collect food between Thanksgiving and Winter Break. This year, we collected over NINE THOUSAND items!
The generosity and community spirit of our students never ceases to amaze me.
Contacting Us Over Winter Break ...
The District is making a much needed switch over to new phone
equipment over the holiday recess. As a result, you will not be able
to leave voicemails for staff between Dec. 22 and Jan. 6. If there is
some emergency, my suggestion is that you email (teacher's last
name first initial @edmonds.wednet.edu) or contact the district office
at 425-431-7000 and someone will get a message to our office.

Improving Our Communication to You
We are committed to improving our school’s image and reputation. The new design of the Ledger is part of that continued work. Howand what we communicate is vital to you as a parent in supporting your student’s success while they are with us.
Here is what is planned so far … January through June 2008 youwill receive a monthly, four-page Ledger so information is getting to you in a more timely fashion. In the next several months, you will
also hear about our plans to back-up the monthly Ledger with periodic emails to our families.
What do you think? Share your ideas … This new look and format for the content we provide you will continue to evolve through the rest of the school year. Please let us know what information you want included
that will better support you in helping your student during the four years they are with us.
