Eye on the Junior High: 4/17/26

Posted Date: 04/17/26 (01:20 PM)

Good afternoon, RJ Grey Families:

I hope you are doing well. An observant reader of this weekly message might be able to guess how busy a week I've had based on when this message is sent out! Two weeks in a row with a Friday update means that things have been busy here at RJ Grey. In addition to our typical day-to-day goings on, we've been busy meeting and interviewing teaching candidates for open positions next year. Thank you to the students whose classes have had a guest teacher over the past 10 days. Their patience and cooperation help us assess how a candidate interacts with students and plans a lesson.

Our April vacation begins very shortly. My family is sticking close to home this week, and I am hoping to clean up the yard and enjoy some of the expected sunshine. I hope you all have a good week.

Jim
