Climate & Culture Survey: It is important for us at JGW to know how our community and families are feeling about the job that we are doing here at school. I have sent a survey out to all families asking for your honest feedback. I would greatly appreciate if all families could take the opportunity to fill out this survey by Friday, 4/22. Thank you in advance!
LOST & FOUND: JGW’s lost and found is overflowing with clothes. There are a lot of coats. Please make sure that your student is looking through it if they have anything missing. We will be cleaning out the lost & found and donating any unclaimed clothing as of Friday, April 29th.
PTO UPDATES
JGW families,
Teacher Appreciation Week is fast approaching. We would like to make it special to reward our wonderful teachers that work so hard. We would love to do some daily raffles like we did last year. If any family would like to donate a gift card or item or has a contact or a place of work that would like to donate a gift card, etc., please email the PTO at jgwhittierpto@yahoo.com
Thank you!
