Greetings!
Each fall, we invite families to learn more about CJ through parent receptions. In partnership with the Admissions Office, these receptions are co-hosted by current CJ families all across the Miami Valley.
If you believe your insights about the decision-making process and your experience at CJ would be beneficial to prospective families, I encourage you to consider co-hosting a parent reception. The admissions office takes care of the details and logistics — we want you to help by sharing your story.
If you are interested in learning more about co-hosting a parent reception, or have any additional questions, please contact me.

College Information Night - Class of 2020
Thursday, Aug. 29 | 5:30 p.m. | Cafeteria
Parents and students of the Class of 2020 — the guidance office will be hosting a college information night on Thursday, Aug. 29. This will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the cafeteria and will conclude before the beginning of period 1 of the Meet the Teacher schedule. The guidance office will be open during Meet the Teacher night to answer any additional questions. The guidance office will also hold a FAFSA information and help session in October. Keep an eye out for more information on date and time for this important event. We will share the Senior College Checklist, in early August, with steps to help you and your student navigate the college application process. The checklist will also be posted in the Guidance section of the CJ website and on Naviance Student accounts.
Seniors should be working on a few things over the summer to help get a head start on the college application process:
- Creating / Updating their Common App account
- Pick an essay prompt and see if their college requires supplemental essays
- Update their college list in Naviance Student and know the deadlines
- Plan to visit the colleges they are really thinking about

Common App Updates
Class of 2020
The 2019-2020 Common App system is now open for seniors. Check out the new look and resources, tips on applying, and so much more online
here
.
Seniors who are applying Common App and requesting a letter of recommendation from a CJ teacher, CJ counselor, or other CJ employee, should NOT complete the request through Common App. All letter of recommendation requests should go through Naviance Student unless they are for someone outside of CJ. Feel free to contact Emily Saunders if you have questions about this process.
Seniors need to make sure to mark how they are applying (early action, regular decision, rolling, etc.) and double check that information in their Common App and Naviance Student account. This is very important and could impact how their application is handled by the admissions office at the colleges.

helperhelper.com
). This program was explained to students during the last weeks of school, and all should have logged in and set up their profile at that time. New students will be given log in information when they begin school in August.
