News

  1. ILEARN results should be in Powerschool later this week.  Please log in to your parent Powerschool account and go to “Student Progress Center” and then click on “ISTEP Reports” to see your child’s report. It may not be available on the app.
  2. Our school-wide fundraiser this year is kicking off next week.  We want our students to be physically and emotionally healthy, so we are asking students to walk around the track and stop at stations to promote kindness in school on September 13.  Students will collect pledges from friends and family and 100% of the money will go to GCJHS for school programs, student incentives and benevolence.
  3. Friday is school picture day.  We will send students who are in PE at the start of class.
  4. We are wrapping up the first round of NWEA today and tomorrow.  Student reports should be in Powerschool within a week.
  5. Parents of 8th graders going on the DC trip in May: please see the attachment with the list of fundraisers for the fall.  If you are interested in organizing and running an additional fundraiser, please contact Mrs. Sangiorgio. [email protected]
