Beginning with this edition of Parent Weekly, parents with students registered for the Class of 2020 are receiving this newsletter. I am privileged to be among the first to say welcome to the CJ community!
Parents and students who have experienced Chaminade Julienne know that CJ is more than a high school - we are an educational community of faith. Our students and their families are invited to become involved in the life of our community in ways most impactful to them. Take time to review the
parent community page
for activities and resources with which you can get involved now or in the future.
We know that students in the Class of 2020 may be anxious to explore possible extracurricular activities for the 2016-2017 school year. Encourage them to complete the
activity interest form
- their interest will be shared with coaches and moderators.
There is an exciting journey ahead for our new families and we look forward sharing the mission of preparing young people who will become lifelong learners. If you'd like more information about deepening involvement at CJ, please contact me.
Again, welcome!
