CJHS Update
September 14, 2020
A Message From the Principal...
How awesome it is to have students back on campus! Today we started the hybrid schedule where students with a last name that begins A-L returned to campus for face-to-face instruction. These same students will return tomorrow followed by a day of remote learning for everyone on Wednesday. Students who have a last name that begins with M-Z will return on Thursday and Friday for face-to-face instruction. When students are not on campus for face-to-face instruction, they are responsible for completing their work online. Our amazing teachers are juggling both sets of students at once, which is no easy task. They deserve a big shout out for all of their hard work! Way to go CJHS Teachers!!
This week also marks the start of our Beginning of the Year assessments. These will be given on the following dates for Reading and Math:
- Tuesday, September 15: A-L Reading 6th - 8th
- Thursday, September 17: M-Z Reading 6th - 8th
- Tuesday, September 22: A-L Math 6th - 8th
- Friday, September 25: M-Z Math 6th - 8th
These tests serve as a diagnostic only. They will help teachers determine what, if any, gaps exist as a result of the loss of in class instruction due to Covid. There will not be live Google Meets on testing days due to the altered testing schedule. Students will still need to login to Canvas and complete assignments for each class.
Finally, please send all of your first of year forms back as soon as possible.
Thank you parents for helping your students with this transition back to school!
