Hey Wranglers: NEW (and the last) AMI packets are available at GJHS or online. Complete Days 11-30, turn those in and start Days 31-45. We also have stuff from lockers for Volleyball and Coach Resz's PE classes to be picked up from the lobby. Stay Well and finish your work!

We want to wish Mrs. Eads a very Happy Principal's Day! Thank you for all your leadership and direction this school year, but especially these past several weeks as we have had to deal with something that no one could have ever expected We appreciate you so much!

Wrangler Families: If your student is in any of Coach Resz's PE classes, please come to the front of GJHS and pick up clothes, shoes, etc. that were left in the locker rooms. We are open 8 - 4 daily.

Wrangler Families: It appears that we did not post the days of AMI packets due correctly. Your students should have 1-10 and 11-30 turned in by this Friday to stay on track. Please work on finishing packets and turning them in to GJHS or through Google Classroom. Stay well!

In addition to the required lessons, you'll find helpful resources for each grade level including videos and translations for grades K - 2. Please contact your child's teacher if you have any questions.

Wrangler Families: We are here at the school ready to distribute Chromebooks to ANY 8th or 9th grade student that DOES NOT have a device (i.e. laptop, PC, tablet, etc.) and has internet access. We only have a limited number of Chromebooks, so they will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. A parent or guardian must be present in order to get a Chromebook, however, the student does not. We will be here at the school today and tomorrow from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. or until we run out of Chromebooks. Hope to see you soon!

Wrangler Families: We are making our final push for distributing Chromebooks. We are extending to ALL families that DO NOT have a device (i.e. laptop, PC, tablet, etc.) and have internet access. We only have a limited number of Chromebooks, so they will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. You must bring a parent and your Student ID, if you can locate it, in order to get a Chromebook. Once our allotment has run out, they are gone! Please try to pick up your Chromebook by 4:00 P.M. on Wednesday, April 15th.
