Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!
My name is Megan Fleet and I am so excited to be teaching 5th grade at Gold Rush Elementary and I can't wait to get to know your family this year!
Below you will find important information about upcoming events to help kick off our school year together. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions as you explore our class website and start thinking about all things FIFTH GRADE!!!
Student Information Form (also linked above)
If you could, please fill out this form to help me get to know your child. We will find our time running short at Meet the Teacher, so this will help give me information prior to meeting your child and you. If there is anything personal about your child that you do not want to share with other families around, please make sure to include that in the form so that I can learn more about your child.
Upcoming Events
Tuesday, August 11th
MEET YOUR TEACHER & PICTURE DAY (GRADES 1-5)
We believe that it is important for students to have the opportunity to meet their teacher and visit their classroom before the first day of school. Families are welcome to visit their classroom on Tuesday, August 11th, and drop off school supplies. Please plan to drop off any medications taken during the school day and physician forms in the main office. Students will take their school picture in the gym after visiting their classroom. You can click here to order pictures online. The picture day ID is EVTBFFCRC.
We want to ensure that families are able to spend time with the teacher in a small group setting, so we ask that parents sign up for a specific time. Click here for our online scheduler, which opens July 27th and closes August 7th. The password is digger. The sign up is first come first serve, so please sign up as soon as possible if you have a preferred time or you wish to align siblings’ times. School supplies ordered through the PTO will be delivered to your child’s classroom. Click here for a map of teachers’ classrooms.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL & FLAG CEREMONY (GRADES 1-5 ONLY)
The first full day of school for students in grades 1-5 is Wednesday, August 12th. Students will meet their teachers on the front blacktop on the first day of school for an opening flag ceremony that begins at 8:30 AM. Click here for a map of your classroom location for our opening ceremony. All teachers will have a sign with their name. Students will enter school with their teacher at the end of the ceremony.
On the second day of school students will enter the building at their assigned locations between 8:20 AM-8:30 AM and walk directly to their classrooms. These locations are different from where students met for the opening Flag Ceremony. Click here for year long classroom arrival locations. Teachers and older students will assist our younger students. Parents of preschool students need to walk their children through the preschool playground to the preschool door and sign their child in.
