Greetings!
There are so many good things happening each day at Chaminade Julienne. Students, teachers and staff, parents and alumni all contribute to a vibrant community that is exciting, inclusive, innovative, and working on behalf of serving others through the love of Christ. We are grateful to all who recognize the impact of this special school community and who generously support our mission.
Today, the
Dayton Daily News
released a story on the newspaper’s website outlining allegations made against a former CJ teacher. We believe other media outlets will also report on this story this evening and over the next day or so. These allegations are inconsistent with the teacher’s long record of service and contribution. However, regardless of length of employment or demonstrated commitment, we immediately address any claim of inappropriate behavior by any teacher, coach, staff member, or administrator. If we believe that a possible threat to the safety of our students may have occurred, we take action on the side of student safety and notify those directly impacted.
The safety and well-being of our students is one of most important priorities. We strive to create a environment that is as safe as we can possibly make it. We have outlined for you the protections we and the Archdiocese of Cincinnati have put in place over the last two decades and the rigorous commitment we have to follow these policies. Should you have any questions about these measures, you can review them on
our website
or you can contact me or John Marshall, principal, for more information.
Our community continues to pray for all who have suffered any form of abuse through the actions of another, and for all who are impacted by incidents of abuse. We pray for those who must address these matters, and for those who work to bring about Christ’s healing, mercy and peace in our world. We continue to pray.
Counselors will be available for students who wish to see them tomorrow and next week. I am grateful for your confidence in us. God bless you, and may God bless Chaminade Julienne.

Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week
Monday, Nov. 12 - Monday, Nov. 19
The CJ community will participate in the school’s annual Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week from Monday, Nov. 12 through Monday, Nov. 19. This week serves as an opportunity to expand our community’s awareness about hunger and homelessness issues in our region, nation and world. The theme for this year’s week is, “Social media CAN make a difference.”
Students can participate by contributing items and funds that will be distributed to The Food Bank, St. Vincent de Paul and Catholic Relief Services — organizations that directly impact hunger and homelessness in our city and internationally. If each student brings in $3 and three items (can goods, toiletry items, and small warm weather items) during the week we will meet our school-wide goal and be awarded a day off school later in the year. Themed days, found
here
, guide what students could bring in, but any item will be accepted any day.
Thank you for supporting the CJ community during this week as we highlight faith, service, and justice as important values in our ministry at CJ.

Safety Drill
As your child may have shared, yesterday we completed a lockdown drill that required students to help their teacher lock and barricade the classroom door. Please note that during a real emergency lockdown, you will be notified through our One Call Now emergency messaging system. I encourage you to talk with your child about the safety drill as we know parents are important partners in school safety. If you have any questions about the drill that took place, please let me know.
