Good afternoon CJD!! Upcoming freshman (our current 8th graders) will have volleyball tryouts on April 16th-April 17th from 3:45 pm to 5:30 pm. See Coach Smith at FHPS for more details.
Good evening CJD! We have a partnership with Grace Klein to serve our community. Please bring in donations for our Grace Klein donation barrels. We are taking anything you think others may need that is new or gently used (similar concept to the concept of Salvation Army donations). This will be on going throughout this year and next year. When the barrel is 3/4 full they come and pick it up and we start over collecting donations. Grace Klein takes these donations and pushes them back out to the community, including our school! Let's be sure to be apart of the circle of GIVING! We have already filled our first two barrels and look forward to keeping them filled! Students that bring in donations will earn Tiger Bucks!!
CJD Parents: 6th and 8th Grade students take the science test tomorrow, Tuesday, 4/15th. We need 100% of those grades present. Reminder that book bags, purses, and cellphones should stay at home tomorrow. Please ensure our scholars get plenty of rest and eat breakfast at home or at school. Encourage them to try their best!!
Secondly, tomorrow is physical day where students will receive a physical at CJD to play sports next year. Students interested in playing sports received a physical form last week and today. It is a requirement to have a current physical on file if playing a sport, including cheer and band. Please ensure the guardian fills out the front page only completely and signs the form.
Physical forms not completed and not signed are not valid. If students miss tomorrow's physical day students and their guardians are responsible for getting a physical through your doctor. Please make sure the completed form is turned in TOMORROW to the main office.
