Wrangler Families: Buses $145 and #155 will NOT be running this week. If you can get your student to and from school each day we will excuse a late note and will stay until 5 pm for them to get picked up. If this is not an option, please have them email Mrs. Eads and they need to be working from home on Google Classroom. Students please email your teachers about your work and questions you have or help you need.

Wrangler Families: Buses #145 and #155 will NOT be running this morning or this afternoon. If you can, please make other arrangements for your child to get to and from school. If you cannot make other arrangements, have your student email Mrs. Eads or you can call the office and let us know. Sorry for the inconvenience. Your student needs to be working online in Google Classroom if they are remaining at home.

Wrangler Families: IMPORTANT: If your student rides bus #155 home in the afternoon please plan on coming to GJHS by 4 pm to pick them up. We will NOT have Bus #155 this afternoon or Friday morning/afternoon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Wrangler Families: Bus #145 will not be running a morning or afternoon route today or Friday. If you plan to take your student to school, please have someone ready to pick them up by 4:00. If you cannot get your student to school or pick them up, they should be getting on Google Classroom and doing work from home. Have your student email their teachers about assignments they complete and questions they might have. We are sorry for this inconvenience and are glad the district provided Chromebooks for students to continue to use them from home in these situations. We are hoping the bus will be running on Monday, Jan. 25. Please call the GJHS office between 7:30 and 4:30 if you have questions.

Wrangler Families: Over the past week or so, we have noticed several issues that needed to be addressed or friendly reminders regarding your student's Chromebooks and/or the use of your student's Chromebooks.  Please read the following important information.  This information will not only save you money on damages, it will also help keep your students safe.  (Any charges that you receive for damages to your student's Chromebooks here at GJHS will follow them to their next school (High School or another Junior High).  They will not receive a Chromebook there until their charges have been paid). Hopefully by following these reminders, the amount of charged damages will be minimal.  Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!.

Wrangler Families: Unfortunately Bus #145 will not be running today, tomorrow or Thursday. Please make other arrangements to get your students to school and home. If you have trouble doing this everyday, call the GJHS office between 7:30-4:30 and let us know. Again we apologize for the inconvenience.

Wrangler Families: At this time all bus routes will be running tomorrow. Please watch FB for announcements or changes. We will try to post any cancellations or changes in bus numbers by 6:30 am so that parents can arrange for alternate transportation. We are sorry for the inconveniences this causes. Please call GJHS if you have questions or concerns. Office Hours are from 7:30 - 4:30 daily.

Wrangler Families: Report cards went home with students on Friday. If your student did not pass a core class first semester, they may have also received a letter explaining how they could recover that credit and avoid Summer School. Please read it carefully. If you have questions call Mrs. Eads Tuesday, Jan. 19.

Parents please read the following important flyer to learn more about supportive counseling services available. To speak with a crisis counselor or get help finding resources call the toll-free support line at: (833)-993-2383

Wrangler Families: We will NOT be running bus 145 today. If you can get your child to school and pick them up, please make arrangements. If you cannot, please call the school and tell us who your child is and where you live so that we can mark their attendance accordingly. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Have a great weekend. We will see the students on Tuesday, January 19.

Wrangler Families: Just a reminder, we will test our 9th grade students all day tomorrow (January 14th). Again, please be present, on time, and try to avoid scheduling any appointments on your student's testing day. Please make sure that your students bring their Chromebook fully charged to school everyday, but even more so on the day they test.

Wrangler Families: Bus 145 WILL run the route tomorrow morning, Wednesday January 13. We will be in bus #84. Please be at your stop at least 5-7 min. earlier than usual and tell any students that live near you to be out and be ready. Thank you for working with us to help get students to school.
