As the 2015 school year soon comes to a close, we are excited about what lies ahead for CJ in the 2015-2016 school year. At this time, we are reviewing our handbook policies for next year and are considering changes to the school uniform and dress code.
A committee of students, teachers, administrators are giving input to potential changes and we are asking for parents' input as well. Please help us by taking a five-minute survey found here. All surveys should be completed by Friday, May 1. The committee will review the surveys to see what changes, if any, may be put in place starting next year.
I look forward to hearing feedback from you so we can make CJ the best learning environment for our students.
