Greetings!
You are personally invited to join members of the CJ community on Sunday, September 11 as we commemorate the tenth anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001 during a special program hosted by the Junior Council on World Affairs (JCOWA).
In conjunction with the Dayton Council on World Affairs, Chaminade Julienne was selected as one of three area high schools to host this memorial event. Parents, students, families and friends are encouraged to spend the evening remembering those who lost their lives that fateful day.
The free event will begin at 6 p.m. in the auditorium and feature guest speakers, a memorial slideshow, and music from CJ's concert band and concert choir. We hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Tony Ricciuto, teacher and JCOWA moderator | email

Announcements from the Academics Office
Accessing NetClassroom
Parents were mailed information for accessing NetClassroom (CJ's online grade program) on Friday, August 26. If you did not receive this information or have questions about NetClassroom please email NetClassroomSupport@cjeagles.org or contact the Guidance office for assistance.
Grades and Grade Reports
Mid-quarter interim reports will not be printed and distributed. Beginning this year, interim grade reports will be available only online in the school's NetClassroom system. Over the last year, more and more parents are using NetClassroom to gauge the progress of their sons and daughters. This means that it is no longer necessary for CJ to print out and distribute paper copies of these reports
If you do not have internet access and need a printed interim report, please contact the guidance office. Quarter report cards will still be printed and distributed.
