Juniors need to update their
resume
in their Naviance Student account, add colleges they are interested in, view and register for upcoming college Rep Visits (here at CJ during the school day), look over their GPA, Decile, test scores, and start making a plan for senior year and the college application process. Juniors will receive a copy of their transcript in their Junior College Planning folder in January with information to help with the college planning process. Remember, a little hard work and prep now will go a long way!
Class of 2020

Seniors should be working in Naviance several times a week. This is the time to add colleges, request letters of recommendation, complete the Letter of Recommendation Feedback Form, signup for college visits held here at CJ, update their resume, and work on the Common App (if needed). Seniors need to remember to sign the FERPA in their Common App, match their accounts in Naviance, and send their official test scores from their ACT/SAT accounts directly to the colleges.
Testing for the ACT and SAT
Held at CJ Throughout the School Year
Test dates for the ACT and SAT tests that will be held at CJ throughout the 2019-2020 school year can be found on the CJ website under the
guidance section.

here
. Juniors will take the State ACT at CJ on March 10, 2020. This test is paid for by the state and registration is handled (for this test only) by CJ. Juniors are encouraged to create an ACT account by February 1 so the March score syncs to their student account. The March test score can be sent directly to colleges or NCAA (up to four) at no cost.
