George Junior High School

George FCCLA is collecting money for the NWA Children’s shelter. Since we are remote this week, we are going to do things a little differently. Please follow the directions in the images below to donate. The advisory classes that collect $100 or more will win an ice cream party! (Also a great time to celebrate finals being over!) We are going to use money collected to purchase items from the Wish List for the children. We may have missed #GivingTuesday yesterday, so we are doing #WeStillWannaGiveWednesday Here is the link to get to the donation website: https://spsef.org/

Wrangler Families: Good Morning! Please make sure your students are prepared to work on-line with their teachers everyday this week. Students need a quiet place to hear the teacher, a cleared table to use their Chromebook and uninterrupted time to work on assignments. Thank you for helping them continue to work at home as we help our community mitigate this virus. If you have questions, call our office Monday - Friday 7:30 - 4:30.

Wrangler Families: We will be learning remotely the week of November 30 - December 4. Students should be on their chromebooks everyday working with teachers and working on their own. Students can email teachers if they have questions or request a zoom meeting or Google Hangout for help. Please call the office Monday - Friday between 7:30 - 4:30 if you have questions or concerns.

Wrangler Families: This is a reminder that we will NOT be having school on-site the week of Nov 30 - Dec 4, but students WILL be expected to be on-line with teachers each day using the schedule that has been posted multiple times on FB, our website and sent to students via email. Ask your student to share the email sent to them from their principal. Please call the office Mon - Fri, 7:30 - 4:30 if you have questions.

Reminder: We will pivot to remote learning this week. Please share this information with all of your GJHS friends and family. Wrangler Families: Here is the remote learning block schedule that we will be following next week as we pivot to remote learning for the week of November 30th through December 4th. It is very important that both you and your student understand that this is very different than AMI that we experienced at the end of last school year. We expect all students to be working and communicating with their teachers while they are working remotely. I am attaching the message from the District in regards to this pivot in our learning model. Please read the information in this newsletter and share with all of your friends and family. "Greetings Springdale Schools Family, Please see the newsletter that announces Remote Learning for November 30th to December 4th. Plus includes important information about ASP, Food Services, Remote Learning tips and much more. We hope everyone has a safe and restful Thanksgiving." https://www.smore.com/w8014

Wrangler Families: Our school is participating in a statewide needs assessment survey on November 18, 2020. The survey, Arkansas Prevention Needs Assessment Student Survey, is sponsored by the Arkansas Department of Human Services. The results will be used to help plan substance abuse prevention strategies and programs in our community. Some important facts about the survey: 1. It is anonymous. Students will not put their names on the survey. No one will be able to connect any individual student with his or her responses. School staff will not see any student responses. 2. Participation in the survey is voluntary. Your son/daughter may decline to participate at any time or skip any question they do not wish to answer. If you DO NOT want your child to participate, please fill out the Student Survey Denial Form below: https://bit.ly/Student_Survey_Denial_Form
