All 9th graders are required to earn 15 hours of community service as partial fulfillment of the 75 hours graduation requirement. Please read through Mrs. Bryant's presentation for step-by-step instructions. |
ICU is a system we use when a student's grade needs critical care. Missing assignments are placed on the ICU list and that alerts the team of adults that the student needs assistance in getting their work turned in. Parents should receive an email notifying them that their student has been placed on the ICU list. From there, the adults, including parents, are on alert and looking for opportunities to help. We may ask if they've finished the work yet, if they need anything to finish it, or if they're able to work from home on the assignment. And we will look for more time for them to work on it such as during lunch, incentives, clubs, elective classes, athletics, assemblies, or field trips.
The goal is for every student to show mastery of grade-level standards and they can't do that if they have missing work used to assess those standards. The adults at GJHS are on call in the ICU every day!
