We had our annual staff vs. students basketball game…and the staff came out on top!

Spent the morning discussing “So you want to talk about race.” Insightful and honest conversations all around. I’m proud of my staff for their honesty and willingness to engage themselves in dismantling the machine. #equity Lela Simmons @IjeomaOluo

This amazing group of educators created targeted interventions for the next month in order to close the achievement gap. #datafordays #datadive Lela Simmons Nathalie M Henderson, PhD Warren Morgan

Remember, if your child doesn’t feel good, please keep them home.

Happy National Assistant Principal’s week to our new AP, Mrs. Urbanek. She brings an extensive knowledge of literacy and math, a passion for urban education, and a deep love for students with her every day. We are fortunate to have her!

As the home to the District’s REACH program for nonverbal autistic students we view Autism Awareness Month as a special time to show our love and support for such an amazing community. Today was Wear Blue for Autism. #acceptance #love Lela Simmons Dr. Aleesia Johnson

At James A. Garfield, we welcome diversity and embrace our student body and stakeholders regardless of sexual orientation, gender identification, or who they choose to love. From everyone on our staff: we see you, we support you, and we love you. Happy Pride Month.

Out of 12,200+ schools across the US, the Project Lead The Way Board chose to visit School 31 to talk to students and educators. It was an honor to share our stories with them. #IPSProud #theGarfieldDifference Lela Simmons Nathalie M Henderson, PhD Dr. Aleesia Johnson IPS
