Important CJD Summer Enrichment and Summer School Updates: Summer Enrichment and Summer School/Grade Recovery start on Monday, June 3rd. Students should arrive by 7:50 am through the cafeteria doors if they intend to eat breakfast. Employees will pick students up from the cafeteria. If they are not eating breakfast they should be on campus by 8:10 am. If after 8:10 am, students should go through the front doors. Bus transportation will be provided. When we receive bus route information we will send it out. All student car riders should be picked up by 2:15 pm. Dismissal will start at 2:00 pm. If your child is in summer school for grade recovery (failed a core class) they can not miss more than 2 days. Students attending the Summer Enrichment program will have their first field trip to the Roller Motion Skating Rink next Thursday, June 6th. The cost is $10.00. Students may begin bringing the $10.00 fee on Monday, June 3rd through Wednesday, June 5th. A permission slip will be given out on Monday to all students along with another field trip for June 12th (the second field trip will be at no cost to the student). We look forward to a fun-filled summer enrichment experience!


CJD parents: Report cards were given to students today. If your child was not here you may pick up a hard copy tomorrow, Friday, May 24th or Tuesday, May 28th from 8:00 am-12:00 pm. You may also access your child's grades through logging into PowerSchool. The "F1" category is their final grade and determines if they have passed their classes and will be promoted to the next grade. If their "F1" grade is a 59 or less in a CORE subject, they must attend summer school or be at risk of being retained.


CJD Parent Reminder: Our summer school and summer enrichment registration are still open. If your child failed one or two core subjects please register them for summer school by clicking the first link below (A letter was sent home to inform you if your child needed summer school. However you can check PowerSchool and refer to their "F1" grades).
If your child did not fail and you want them to participate in our Summer Enrichment program to increase reading and math skills while having exposure to additional enrichment activities click the second link.

Side note: If you child recovers their grade after you signed them up for summer school you will be notified they do not need to attend. If you don't hear from their teacher assume they must start June 3rd. If they are failing three or more core classes summer school is not an option. They will be retained. Please communicate with your child's teachers if you are unclear on their standing.
