All GJHS students will take the ILEARN test during the next couple of weeks. Testing days are April 22, 23, 24, 29.30, and May 1.

This is an opportunity for students to show the growth and learning they have accomplished throughout the school year. Please make every effort to ensure you child is at school and on time on all of the testing days, and encourage them to do their best on the test!

GJH students can SOAR to success by demonstrating Safety, Ownership, Achievement, and Respect. Students can earn SOAR bucks to redeem in our school store for rewards. Ask your child how they have demonstrated these qualities this week! Click on the document below to see a sampling of rewards available in the GJH SOAR store!

At GJH, our goal is for every student to have at least 94% attendance. This means students should not be absent more than 10 days during the school year (excused or unexcused). Every day at school is an opportunity for your child to learn and have experiences that contribute to academic and personal growth.

When a student misses 4 or more days of school, a letter is sent to parents to make sure they are aware of the absences. After 7 absences, another letter is sent and a staff member may contact the parent to schedule a meeting and/or discuss how can support the student with attendance.

If you have concerns about your child's attendance, don't hesitate one of our administrators or school counselors. Also click on the attachment below for important information and tips to help your child achieve strong school attendance.

Goshen Community Schools Dress Code can be found in the online student handbook at Student Handbooks - Google Drive

Our goal is to help students understand and evaluate appropriate settings for formal vs. informal attire, which is a skill they will use in the world beyond school. Students will see this addressed starting on the first day of school.

We appreciate parents working with us on this. If you have questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact an administrator.

For the safety of students, car traffic is not allowed in the front parking lot during our arrival (8:45-9:30) and dismissal (3:30-4:30) times. At any time when there are buses in the front lot, parents must drop off or pick up students in the North or South lot. Please communicate with your child ahead of time so s/he will know where to find you after school.
