Hello CJSH Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween weekend!

We have officially wrapped up the first quarter of the school year! Time is sure to fly by throughout the holiday months! 

A few quick reminders:

Closed Campus Lunch- CJSH is a closed campus during lunch, meaning students should plan to either bring a lunch from home or eat school-provided lunch. While we cannot prevent students from leaving campus when excused by a parent or guardian, we strongly discourage this practice. Leaving campus often results in students returning late to class and disrupts our lunch routine. Thank you for helping us maintain a smooth, consistent lunch schedule and ensuring students are ready to learn when they return to class!

Academic Interventions- At CJSH, we want every student to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. To support this, some students will participate in additional math and/or English support during advisory. This is not a punishment, but an opportunity to strengthen specific skills, build confidence, and work toward grade-level expectations. Students will meet with a teacher twice a week during advisory and use their IXL Personalized Learning Plan to practice targeted skills at their own pace. Progress will be reviewed every three weeks to determine next steps, with the possibility of returning to regular advisory as students demonstrate growth. Families can support this progress by encouraging students to approach this opportunity with a positive attitude, give their best effort, and log in to IXL at home for additional practice. At CJSH, we are committed to ensuring every student is known, supported, and challenged. Together, we can help every student continue to grow and succeed!

Parent Drop-Off- We have seen an increase in families dropping students off in the horseshoe area in front of the school. To help keep traffic flowing safely and efficiently, please use the designated parent drop-off/pick-up lot located on the east side of the school entrance, rather than the horseshoe. The horseshoe is used by our school buses in the morning, and additional traffic in this area creates unnecessary congestion. Thank you for helping us keep arrival and dismissal safe and running smoothly for everyone!

Thank you for your continued support. Please contact the office if you have any questions or concerns.

Have a great week!

As we head into November, we are excited to wrap up the fall season and get ready for winter Cougar Athletics! Thank you to our student-athletes, coaches, parents, and community members for your continued support of Clinton Athletics.

If your student plans to participate in a winter sport, please make sure they are registered on Bound before the season begins. Bound is our online registration platform and provides important information for athletes and families throughout the season. Please take a few minutes to complete the registration process and ensure all required information is submitted.

As we conclude the fall sports season, we ask parents and guardians to take a few minutes to complete our Fall Athletics End-of-Season Survey. Your feedback is valuable and helps us reflect on our programs, recognize areas of strength, and identify opportunities for improvement. Our goal is to continue building a positive athletic experience where student-athletes feel supported, connected, and valued.

I will be meeting individually with each freshman in the coming weeks. These meetings are a great opportunity to check in with students as they begin high school, get to know them a little better, and make sure they are feeling supported and on track. This includes discussions on classes, grades, schedule, goals for this year and the future, as well as any questions your student may have. Students will be signing up via Google Calendar. If you would like to attend with your student, please let me know. 

Over the last few weeks I had the chance to meet with many of your seniors for their senior meeting. I have shared the presentation with all of them in google classroom to reference later if needed. I will include the scholarship and FAFSA meeting from 10/21 below. As always, please reach out if you have any questions. 

If you have not yet done so please make sure you order your Cap & Gown asap.  You may bring your order form and money into the office or go to the Jostens website. 

 The next Band Backers meeting for band parents is Nov 4th at 6PM in the band room.

We are so proud of your hard work and achievements representing the Clinton FFA Chapter!
