Hello JGW Community
This week has come with challenges and a lot of emotions for all members of our community. One thing I can state for everyone is we are glad the kids will be back in school with our loving JGW staff. We will have our teachers focus on building relationships and community while getting back to learning. LOVE TO SEE A SCHOOL FULL OF TEACHERS AND SCHOLARS!!!
Principal Advisory Team: Would your scholar like a voice to help JGW continue to improve?
Mr. Condon wants to form a team of scholars that will help bring kids’ voices to making JGW even better than it already is. This group would meet bi-weekly with Mr. Condon and develop areas to improve at JGW and then the team would make action steps to bring change to the building. We will have SNACKS!!!!
Mr. Condon is looking for 8-10 scholars to be on the team. All scholars have to do is fill out this form and write a short response on why you would make a valuable team member the Principal Advisory Team.
Have your scholar fill out this form https://forms.gle/pdLUwRLwYHvuxhAf6
We will also share the link in the homeroom on Monday.
