Greetings!

As we continue to process the horrific tragedy that happened in the Oregon District on Sunday, Aug. 4, we offer prayers to those impacted and praise those who have aided and supported the city of Dayton during these beginning stages of recovery.

In the coming days and weeks, school leadership will be meeting to talk about this event and how to address this situation, as well as the Memorial Day tornadoes, with students once they are back at school. We are also working with our student support coordinators to make sure we have the resources available for students who have been affected. This includes utilizing our City Connects program - which provides individual support by identifying potential barriers students may be facing. To learn more about City Connects, go to the guidance office page on the CJ website .

Our student support coordinators have also recommended the following websites to help guide you talking to your child about the tragedy:

We are grateful to our CJ community for the prayers and support we continue to share with each other.

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.
