Wrangler families: We are having an ongoing issue of students bringing their Chromebooks to school with a dead or low battery. It is the student's responsibility to charge their Chromebooks every evening and bring them back to school everyday ready to learn. Students are not charging them, and then bringing their chargers to school with the expectation of being able to charge them in class. Chromebook chargers should be left at home. This is keep them from getting lost or taken by another student. A replacement charger costs $40, if the student loses it and must be paid or a child will not have a way to charge their Chromebook. We are trying to save your student(s) and ultimately you an extra added expense. We have also included a list of other Chromebook "Do's and Don'ts" to help your student have success. Please make sure your students are following all of these guidelines at home. These Chromebooks are a privilege and are to be used for educational purposes at school and home. Everything that your student is searching and watching is monitored. Any inappropriate use is sent directly to our building Admin and the Springdale Tech Department, and any misuse could result in the loss of their Chromebook. Our goal at GJHS first and foremost is the safety of our students. Thank you for all of your understanding and cooperation! #DestinationGeorge #SpringdaleFamily Familias de Wrangler: Tenemos un problema continuo de estudiantes que traen sus Chromebooks a la escuela con la batería descargada o baja. Es responsabilidad del estudiante cargar sus Chromebooks todas las noches y traerlos a la escuela todos los días listos para aprender. Los estudiantes no los cargan y luego traen sus cargadores a la escuela con la expectativa de poder cargarlos en clase. Los cargadores de Chromebook deben dejarse en casa. Esto es para evitar que se pierdan o se los lleve otro estudiante. Un cargador de reemplazo cuesta $ 40, si el estudiante lo pierde y debe pagarse o el niño no tendrá forma de cargar su Chromebook. Estamos tratando de ahorrarle a su (s) estudiante (s) y, en última instancia, a usted un gasto adicional adicional. También hemos incluido una lista de otros Chromebook "Qué hacer y qué no hacer" para ayudar a su estudiante a tener éxito. Asegúrese de que sus estudiantes sigan todas estas pautas en casa. Estos Chromebooks son un privilegio y deben usarse con fines educativos en la escuela y el hogar. Todo lo que su estudiante está buscando y viendo es monitoreado. Cualquier uso inapropiado se envía directamente a nuestro administrador del edificio y al departamento de tecnología de Springdale, y cualquier uso indebido podría resultar en la pérdida de su Chromebook. Nuestro objetivo en GJHS, ante todo, es la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes. ¡Gracias por toda su comprensión y cooperación! #DestinationGeorge #SpringdaleFamily

Last week GJHS won a grill for having the highest percentage of growth in free and reduced lunch forms turned in the week prior! Today, Mr. Rowe and Officer Reynebeau put together our grill for us! Huge thank you to both of them! They only had a few extra parts…that’s ok, right?! Just kidding…all parts were utilized and the grill looks amazing! Another huge thank you to our Wrangler families for getting their free and reduced lunch forms turned in! Keep them coming! #SpringdaleFamily #DestinationGeorge
