JGW Update 5/26/26
Hello JGW Families,
I hope that you had a great long weekend and a reflective Memorial Day. While we are rapidly heading toward the end of the school year, there is still a lot happening here at JGW.
SPRING 2026 SAFETY & SUPPORT FAMILY SURVEY
Please take our survey that was developed in conjunction with the JGW Site Council. This is an anonymous survey and we hope that you can provide your honest feedback. Since this is anonymous we cannot provide any incentives to participate, so we hope that we can prevail upon your senses of generosity and service to our school community. We know that your time is valuable. Your feedback will help us improve and make JGW even better next year.

CHROMEBOOKS
Students are still expected to bring a fully charged chromebook to school every day. Teachers are still introducing new content so students need their devices to access various instructional resources that are online.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance for the month of April was GREAT! At 94.47% it was 3.3% higher than last year’s April attendance. However, attendance for this month of May is not as high. We are currently at only 92.93% which is 1.18% lower than last year. Regular attendance is essential for students in order to master grade level expectations. Let’s try to finish the week strong with over 96% attendance and see if we can close that gap!!!.
