Thank you Emily Gray Families for joining us at Open House last night !

Our yearly open house will begin Tonight in the MPR at 5:30
It will start with a brief overview from the EGJH Administrative Team and PTSG. Then families will be able to visit all of their children’s schedules with four minute passing periods. Please note that you will not visit 8th period Academic Enrichment. If you cannot make the kick-off meeting, you can go directly to visit the classrooms at 5:30 p.m. This is an exciting time in your child’s life as they navigate through their Jr. High experience. This is a great opportunity to meet your child’s teachers and start building relationships and community right away! We want to work with you so we can maximize the experience your child has on our campus.
We look forward to seeing you!
