CJD Parents: A reminder to parents/students to return your completed enrollment forms for this summer's U Hope Academy program by Tuesday, March 4th preferably sooner. They have received quite a few but still have room for more. The forms are being collected in the front office.
CJD Parents: Due to an uptick in student disciplinary offenses such as classroom disruptions, disrespect, defiance, horse playing, bullying, fighting, etc. students will receive higher level disciplinary interventions such as suspension, alternative placement, hearing referrals, mandatory conferences, parent shadowing, etc. Please talk frequently to your students about following the code of conduct and all school rules. Our goal is to significantly cut disciplinary infractions down and we need your help. Additionally, if students violate the cell phone policy it will not be returned early to parents or students so please ensure they turn it in during homeroom or leave them at home. This is in compliance with state device restriction regulations. Additional devices such as laptops, iPads, etc. are not allowed and will be confiscated and held. Lastly, hoodies, ski masks, and headphones worn on students will be confiscated and may not be returned until the end of the year. Thank you in advance for your support.

The cell phone will be returned to the student according to the cell phone policy return date. If you lost your copy of the cell phone policy, you may stop by the main office to pick one up. Parents do not need to come unless requested by administrators. If there is a need for a parent meeting, call the office the next morning to schedule a conference unless it is an emergency. Thank you in you in advance for your cooperation.
