Letty Hug has served as School Social Worker at George Junior High and George Elementary School for the past three years. When asked why being a School Social Worker is important she said, “School Social Workers are an integral link between school, home and community in helping students achieve academic success. Social workers assist students and families in overcoming barriers by providing direct and indirect services that will lead to greater student achievement both in and out of school.” She added, “ I am so blessed to be given the opportunity to be a part of an amazing team at GJH. Our counselors, teachers and Principals are amazing. I continue to learn and grow from them. Their passion and dedication to our students is inspiring.” We are so lucky to have Mrs. Hug as part of our GJH Family. Thank you for all that you do for our school and our students! Happy National School Social Worker Week!

Wrangler Families: If you student has a G1 chromebook, they need to bring their charger to school today with their chromebook. We are changing out the G1s for newer technology. Students with G1s will have all white keys. Thank you for helping us get newer technology into the hands of your student. Have a great day!

Wrangler Families: Here is some information regarding our upcoming GJHS Virtual Student Led Conferences on March 16th & 17th. Be looking for information from your student’s Advisory Teacher to schedule your appointment!

GJHS Staff is working on our social and emotional learning this semester! Each month we have staff challenges focused on improving our mental and emotional wellbeing. We know that it's important for us to show the students (and ourselves) that we value our own self-care, and that we can't grow our students socially and emotionally if we aren't doing the same. Staff members who choose to participate are put into a drawing for a special treat. The January Self-Care Challenge winner was Cassondra Beers! Congratulations!

This week has been a challenging week on many fronts but there has also been a lot of good! Let’s give a shout out to the over 150 custodial and maintenance staff who worked around the clock to keep our buildings in top shape!They worked on frozen pipes, clearing parking lots and sidewalks, plowed snow and maintained the HVAC units. Let’s give a shout out to the Principals and teachers from each building who worked to connect with each family ensuring safety and educational enrichment during this time. We had some fun this week! We loved seeing all the pictures of how families combined education with snow time fun. Tomorrow, Friday February 19 will be a remote teaching and learning day. Let’s finish this week strong, with positive energy and take the time to say thank you and encouraging words to each other. This is what make our community great! Esta semana ha sido una semana desafiante en muchos frentes, ¡pero también ha sido muy bueno! ¡Demos un saludo a los más de 150 conserjes y personal de mantenimiento que trabajaron las veinticuatro horas del día para mantener nuestros edificios en óptimas condiciones! Trabajaron en tuberías congeladas, despejaron estacionamientos y aceras, quitaron nieve y mantuvieron las unidades de HVAC. Demos un saludo a los directores y maestros de cada edificio que trabajaron para conectarse con cada familia para garantizar la seguridad y el enriquecimiento educativo durante este tiempo. ¡Nos divertimos un poco esta semana! Nos encantó ver todas las imágenes de cómo las familias combinaban la educación con la diversión en la nieve. Mañana viernes 19 de febrero será un día de enseñanza y aprendizaje a distancia. Terminemos esta semana fuertes, con energía positiva y tomémonos el tiempo para agradecer y animarnos mutuamente. ¡Esto es lo que hace que nuestra comunidad sea excelente!
