2024-2025 GJHS Instructional Focus
The 24-25 GJHS Instructional Focus is "Writing with a purpose". Students will be building their writing skills every day through writing practice. We will be using the "ACE" strategy in all content areas as a writing framework. Using this strategy, students will:
  • Answer the question
  • Cite Evidence
  • Explain the reasoning for their answer.
 
Academic Corner
We encourage students to begin reviewing their notes, attending PLC, and utilizing any additional resources provided by their teachers. Our teaching staff is committed to supporting every student through this process, offering extra help sessions and guidance as needed. Let's work together to ensure that all students feel prepared and confident to succeed in their exams.
