Good afternoon Bulldog Families,
This time of year always means we begin helping students look ahead — not just at next year's classes, but at where those classes are leading them. Our Career Action Plan (CAP) process is designed to guide students toward courses that match their strengths, interests, and future plans, and we value parents as an important part of those conversations.
The attached newsletter explains the CAP process and upcoming meetings. Below is information about programs that require an application so families can review options together.
All program applications can be found here:
https://sites.google.com/greenwoodk12.com/greenwood-cap/application-links
⏰ All applications are due February 25 at 3:00 PM
These deadlines are important because they determine staffing and course availability for next year.
Current 8th Grade → Rising 9th Grade
Students may apply for:
• Yearbook
• Athletic Trainer
• Bulldog Broadcast

Good Afternoon,
We hope that you all have enjoyed your long weekend. We also hope that students are rested and prepared to return to school tomorrow. Please help us by reminding your student to bring their chromebook and charging cord tomorrow to school. We will be checking computers back in so that they can stay at school. Thank you for helping us with this important task.
Regards,
Coach Nation

Good Afternoon,
GJHS will be transitioning away from a 1:1 Chromebook model. Due to the high frequency of device damage, we are no longer able to consistently ensure access to Chromebooks throughout the school day.
We understand that this change may create some unforeseen challenges, and we appreciate your patience and partnership as we work through them. Our goal remains the same—to continue growing together and providing the best possible environment for our students’ academic and personal success.
With this change in mind, all students must bring their Chromebook and Chromebook charger to school on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.
Thank you for your continued support.
