Greetings!
Earlier this year, we tested our One Call Now phone messaging service to ensure parents would receive important notices and messages prior to or during the school day. With winter-like weather upon us, we will be using One Call Now to relay messages about school delays or closings should they occur. If you are concerned we do not have the correct phone number in our system, please
email
Kary Ellen Berger, communications coordinator. In addition to the One Call Now message, all delays and cancellations will be posted on the homepage of the
CJ website
and on our
Facebook
and
Twitter
pages.
I make decisions about delaying or cancelling school due to the affected locations of our students, who are spread across more than 50 zip codes. While we want our students to be in the learning environment as much of the school year as possible, it is also our responsibility to ensure they can arrive and leave the school safely. CJ's attendance policy allows your child to follow your local public district plan for the day if CJ does not delay/close and it will count as an excused absence. Please call OSS to report an absence if you choose to do this on an inclement weather day.
God bless, and Go Eagles!
