Classroom Connection

All teachers at Greater Johnstown High School have created their own professional classroom websites that can be accessed by the public via the district website. The websites contain course syllabi, teacher contact information, blogs, news and announcements, and many other useful features. The goal of having the websites is to open the lines of communication with parents and students and to make them feel more proactive in their education through another avenue. There are many benefits that come from having these classroom websites. Parents can be made aware of the various activities that are occurring in their child's classrooms. Students can access the websites when they are absent from school to know what they missed. This will help them to be on track with the rest of the class upon their return to school. Overall, these classroom websites are a valuable addition to our school web page.
