Family Memo 9/22

Hello JGW Community,

The Massachusetts Department of Education released the accountability for last school year. JGW showed tremendous growth raising 5 percentiles from the previous year.  Accountability is based on attendance, student growth, and over achievement. We are proud of the growth of the school and reflects the progress we have made. In the upcoming weeks we will be sending home each child’s individual scores plus sending home the school’s report card from the department of education. We are proud of the staff and scholars here at JGW that helped make a big improvement. Families can always look at school accountability : https://profiles.doe.mass.edu/accountability/report/school.aspx?linkid=31&orgcode=01280085&orgtypecode=6&
