Happy New Year! The new year is upon us and our students have begun 2nd semester CHARGER STRONG! Our staff took time to welcome students back to school, have fun together with team building activities, and reviewed our school-wide PBIS expectations. We will also continue to review what it means to be a CHARGER as we go through the 2nd half of the school year!

Reminder there is no school on Monday due to observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. As always, if you need anything, do not hesitate to reach out to us!

In January.....

Team 6A completed some team building to start off the new year! We collectively built a bulletin board, participated in Fika conversations, and awarded our first Team ACES awards to students who have demonstrated Teamwork, positive Attitudes, Commitment, and Excellence.

• Student dress (including accessories) may not advertise, promote, or picture alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, violent behavior, or other inappropriate images.
• Coat and sunglasses may not be worn in the building during the school day.
• Clothing that fails to adequately cover the body will not be permitted.
  
• Appropriate foot wear must be worn at all times. Slippers and shoes with wheels are prohibited.

If students have any questions regarding acceptability of a particular item of clothing, please see the Associate Principal, Mrs. Fitzgerald, before wearing the items to school.

Please note that a student whose dress does not follow these guidelines will be asked to correct the violation before returning to class.

When possible, students are encouraged to come back to school after medical visits to avoid missing learning.

For all absences, a student will be permitted to make up any missed work, including homework and tests. The student is responsible for obtaining assignments from his/her teachers.

Here is a quick graphic to illustrate what a 4, 3, 2, 1 means. Do not think of it as a 4 = an A. The objective is for all our students to master learning standards and receiving a 3 means they are meeting requirements for that standard. I hope this helps a little to clear things up!!

Thank you to all our families who have donated to our PTO Unraiser! We still need your help!!

Each year, the Chiddix PTO asks all families for a financial contribution to help our PTO. 100% of the money raised will be used at Chiddix for students and teachers. A suggested donation of $25 per family will provide extra support for CJHS students and staff.

The “unraiser” provides another option for parents and guardians to financially support the CJHS PTO since this is our one and only school fundraiser!! In previous years, your contribution has helped to provide funding for additional classroom materials such as document cameras for the Math Department, Digital Projector for the IMC, laminating materials for the office, and teacher appreciation days just to name a few.
