Be Here for the Learning!

A strong school year starts with simply being here! Regular attendance helps students stay connected to their learning, their educators and their friends. That's why GJPS is encouraging BE HERE FOR IT: EVERY DAY COUNTS, an attendance initiative focused on the important role each school day plays in a student's success.

Families can help build strong attendance habits right from the start. Protecting the first month of school is especially important as students settle into routines and build momentum for the year ahead.

When possible, schedule routine appointments outside the school day.
Keep track of missed days on a family calendar so absences don't quietly add up.
Use a morning checklist: Wake up, get ready, eat, grab what you need and leave on time.

Every day in school is another opportunity to learn and grow. This month, Be Here for the Learning...Because Every Day Counts!

Step Inside Our Brand-New Preschool Space at Clark Hall

We are thrilled to invite our families and community to the GJPS Preschool Open House! With the high school classes moved out of Clark Hall and into the new GLHS, our teams spent the summer renovating the first floor of Clark Hall to bring all preschool classes into the same space. The entire first floor of Clark Hall has been completely revamped into a vibrant early learning center built specifically for our youngest learners.

Come tour the beautiful new classrooms and explore the fresh spaces designed to spark creativity, curiosity and play.

Open House Details

Date: September 15, 2026
