We encourage our students to finish the quarter strong and families to sign up for Parent-Teacher conferences in order to meet with teams/teachers to continue our partnership of academic excellence at CJHS. Information can be found below on how to sign-up.

Unity Day - October 19th
October is National Bullying Prevention month and our students have focused on being inclusive through positive morning announcements and student notes!
On October 19th which is National Unity Day, students are invited to wear the color orange—as a tangible representation of the supportive, universal message that our society wants to prevent bullying, and is united for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
When you click on the link, you will select the conference(s) you would like to attend. You will then be asked your student's name, your name, and you must provide a valid email address. After that, you will receive an email inviting you to sign up for parent-teacher conferences. You will then need to click on the link in the email and select the conference(s) and times you would like to attend.
Morning Announcements!
Please remember you will need to be able to speak loudly, be energetic, and be on time for your morning slot. This is a significant responsibility as morning announcements set the stage for a productive day at Chiddix.
Mrs. Fitzgerald will call down all students who sign up for information regarding the next steps after you sign up.
The deadline to fill out the google form is Oct. 14, 2022!!
