No matter if you are just joining the CJ community or if you are returning for another school year, we are excited to have all students come back to school three weeks from today. There are things both parents and students should know before August 13:

  • There were minor changes made to this year's uniform guidelines. You can learn more about all uniform guidelines here.
     
  • There are changes to student parking this year. Gravel D lot will no longer be in use so students may only purchase passes for the Emmanuel or Washington lots. Click here for a look at the map.
     
  • Fill out the activity interest form if you would like more information about athletic or performing arts programs and haven't been in contact with the instructor yet. Parents can also get involved by joining the Blue Green Club or PoPS (parents of performing arts students.)

A look at the Top 10 Things students and parents need to know before school starts can be found here. If you have any other questions not found in the list, please email me.

Founders' Thoughts       

 

St. Julie"Try always, to act with all possible kindness and charity, but stand firm when the glory of God demands it."

 

 

Fr. Chaminade

"It seems to me that we must not become discouraged if we encounter some obstacle in the way of necessary change. Never has change been done, and never will it be done, without difficulty."
