Greetings!
As we have shared with you previously, and as we shared with students during homeroom meetings this week, leadership transitions in the school will be in effect as of Monday, Sept. 30. John Marshall ‘86 will work with current director of development, Jim Walworth, prior to Jim’s retirement at the end of October. I am serving as acting principal, Marcus Colvin is serving as acting director of student services, and Jeremy Valentine is teaching social studies.
While this is an exciting time for all in the CJ community, I want to make sure that as parents, you know who you or your child should speak to with any questions or concerns:
- Attendance/OSS concerns (student handbook, uniform, discipline), Eagles Learning Center: Marcus Colvin
- Principal duties, drug testing, school safety drills: Greg Mueller
Academic questions should still be directed to assistant principal, Steve Fuchs.
If you have any questions throughout this transition, I invite you to reach out to me directly.
Greg Mueller, Acting Principal |

Early Dismissal Procedures
Reminder from the Office of Student Services
Students needing to be dismissed early from school are asked to bring a note from their parent to the Office of Student Services by 7:50 a.m. the day of the early dismissal (voice messages are not accepted). Parents should indicate in the note the reason for the early dismissal, the time they would like the student to be released, and who is picking up the student (if necessary). At the time the student is supposed to leave early, they will be issued a pass from OSS to sign out. If the student is returning to school later in the day, the student must sign back in at OSS.
Students leaving school due for medical appointments, court, or other appointments are required to bring a note to OSS showing proof of their appointment within seven days upon returning to school for it to be considered an excused absence. Students are allowed three unexcused early dismissals during a semester. A demerit will be issued for every early dismissal after three not excused by said parent note and form. Contact Angela Mason with any questions.
