We had an amazing start to the school year last week! We have loved getting to meet your students and start to build relationships with them. This week is our first full week of school and we are hitting the ground running. Our students will start taking their IXL diagnostics. Please talk to your student about trying their hardest on these diagnostics. Challenge them to show us what they got!! We use these to help us intervene on behalf of our students in a surgical manor to help grow all or our students, so it's crucial we see what they can do!
This Week at GJHS:
Monday: IXL is LIVE
Tuesday: Varsity Football @ Fayetteville (Metallic Dress Up Day)
Thursday: Varsity Volleyball @ Home
Next Week at GJHS:
Monday: 8/9 Vball @ Fayetteville
Tuesday: 7/8/9 Vball @ Mena
Friday: Theme "Wiggin' Out the Wolverines" (Wigs / Crazy Hair)
Good Afternoon,
Tomorrow is the 1st Day! We can’t wait to see all of our students bright and early. Reminder our first class begins at 7:55am. Attached you will find tomorrow's bell schedule.
We also wanted to let you know that Friday August 14th is Bulldog Kickoff. Come out and support our spirit squads, and our football teams. The event will start at 6pm. Cost is $5 at the gate and there will be concessions. Let's have a great start to the school year!
We are so excited that this week is the first week of school. Our staff at GJHS has worked incredibly hard this summer to prepare for this school year, and to help ensure your student has their most successful year ever. We are pumped that we get to see everyone tomorrow night at 6pm - 8pm for our Open House night. Please remember that we have made adjustments to our schedule for Open House, and that you have access to our Open House video at your convenience. We can’t wait to see you all!!!
We are excited to welcome you to Open House on Monday evening from 6:00–8:00 p.m. All 7th and 8th grade students and their families are invited to attend.
This is a great opportunity to tour the building, meet your child's teachers, and become familiar with classrooms before the school year begins.
Due to ongoing building improvements, we had to adjust our original plans for the evening. Instead of the presentation that was originally scheduled, we have attached the video that families were going to watch so you can view it at your convenience before or after Open House.
We look forward to seeing you on Monday evening and kicking off a great school year together!

Beginning on the first day of school, students who live on these streets will be picked up and dropped off at designated bus stops located at the top of the hill near the stop signs and/or the intersections with Harmony Drive.
We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure the safety of our students and bus drivers.
Mrs. Lemley has made a lasting impact on countless students, families, and staff members through her kindness and compassion. Her dedication to helping students succeed both inside and outside the classroom has truly made Greenwood Junior High a better place.
We are incredibly grateful for the love and care she has poured into our school over the past 26 years. Mrs. Lemley will be greatly missed, and we wish her nothing but happiness and blessings in this next chapter of life.
Thank you, Mrs. Lemley, for everything you have done for GJHS!
At GJHS we are constantly striving to be better everyday, and we would love to have your feedback. If you could take a quick minute to fill out this survey, we would appreciate it.
