The Hive

AJJH will cultivate a thriving learning community where every student is engaged, challenged, and empowered to become a confident, resilient, and lifelong learner.

Our mission is to empower every student to achieve academic, social, and personal success through engaging learning experiences, high expectations, strong relationships, and a culture of continuous improvement.

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

To exceed expectations means to deliver results, performance, or behavior that significantly surpasses what was anticipated, requested, or required.

WEEK 4 UPDATES

Dear Hornet Families,

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and for trusting us with your child’s education. We value our partnership with our families and look forward to working together for a successful school year.

Student Attendance

Student attendance plays a critical role in academic success. During the week of August 24–28, we fell below our campus goal of 96%, with an overall campus attendance rate of 93.07%. While we appreciate our families who make daily attendance a priority, we have an opportunity to improve.

Monday was our strongest attendance day. Our greatest opportunity for improvement is Friday attendance, particularly in 8th grade.

We need your partnership to ensure students are at school every day and arrive on time, ready to learn. Missing even one day means missing valuable instruction, classroom discussions, assignments, and opportunities to grow.

As we move forward, please help us improve attendance across all grade levels by making regular and punctual attendance a priority. Every student. Every class. Every day.

Important Information from Teachers

Parents and students, please make sure you are familiar with the following information provided by each teacher:

Class syllabus and expectations
Tutorial days and times
Google Classroom information

Student Agendas

Students: Please remember to bring your student agenda to school every day. Your agenda is an important tool for staying organized and keeping track of assignments, reminders, and important information.

Parents: Please take a few moments to check your child’s student agenda daily for important information, upcoming assignments, reminders, and teacher communication.

Morning Drop-Off

Please remember that there should be NO PARKING IN THE RIGHT LANE during morning drop-off. The right lane is reserved for QUICK DROP-OFFS ONLY. Keeping this lane moving helps us maintain a safe and efficient arrival process for everyone.

Students may not be dropped off or picked up in the STAFF/Visitor Parking Lots.

Let’s make Week 4 another great week at Alice Johnson Junior High!

Your Proud Principal,

Priscilla Jones-Revis

Actualizaciones de la Semana 4

Estimadas familias Hornet:

Gracias por su paciencia, cooperación y por confiarnos la educación de sus hijos. Valoramos nuestra colaboración con nuestras familias y esperamos trabajar juntos para lograr un año escolar exitoso.

Asistencia Estudiantil

La asistencia de los estudiantes desempeña un papel fundamental en el éxito académico. Durante la semana del 24 al 28 de agosto, estuvimos por debajo de nuestra meta escolar del 96%, con una tasa general de asistencia de 93.07%. Agradecemos a las familias que hacen de la asistencia diaria una prioridad; sin embargo, tenemos una oportunidad para mejorar.

El lunes fue nuestro día con la mejor asistencia. Nuestra mayor oportunidad de mejora es la asistencia de los viernes, particularmente en 8.º grado.

Necesitamos de su colaboración para asegurar que los estudiantes asistan a la escuela todos los días y lleguen puntualmente, listos para aprender. Faltar incluso un solo día significa perder instrucción valiosa, conversaciones en el salón de clases, tareas y oportunidades de aprendizaje y crecimiento.

A medida que avanzamos, ayúdenos a mejorar la asistencia en todos los grados haciendo de la asistencia regular y puntual una prioridad. Cada estudiante. Cada clase. Cada día.

Información Importante de los Maestros

Padres y estudiantes, por favor asegúrense de conocer la siguiente información proporcionada por cada maestro:

Plan de estudios y expectativas de la clase
Días y horarios de tutorías
Información de Google Classroom

Agendas Estudiantiles

Estudiantes: Recuerden traer su agenda estudiantil a la escuela todos los días. Su agenda es una herramienta importante para mantenerse organizados y llevar un registro de las tareas, recordatorios e información importante.

Padres: Por favor, tómense unos minutos para revisar diariamente la agenda estudiantil de su hijo(a) para consultar información importante, próximas tareas, recordatorios y comunicaciones de los maestros.

Llegada por la Mañana

Por favor, recuerden que NO SE PERMITE ESTACIONARSE EN EL CARRIL DERECHO durante la llegada por la mañana. El carril derecho está reservado ÚNICAMENTE PARA DEJAR A LOS ESTUDIANTES RÁPIDAMENTE. Mantener este carril en movimiento nos ayuda a garantizar un proceso de llegada seguro y eficiente para todos.

Los estudiantes no pueden ser dejados ni recogidos en los estacionamientos para el PERSONAL/VISITANTES.

¡Hagamos de la Semana 4 otra gran semana en Alice Johnson Junior High!

Su orgullosa directora,

Priscilla Jones-Revis

PBIS Rewards?

PBIS Rewards is a schoolwide system we use at Alice Johnson Junior High to encourage and recognize positive student behavior.

PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. Instead of focusing only on consequences, PBIS Rewards helps us intentionally teach, model, and celebrate the behaviors we want to see in our students every day.

How It Works

Students earn PBIS points when they demonstrate positive behaviors such as being respectful, responsible, prepared, and engaged in learning.
Points are earned during the school day from staff members who recognize students for making good choices.
Students can redeem points for incentives, rewards, and special opportunities through our campus PBIS program.
