Hello Cougar Families and Staff,
Below is information about activates, events taking place at C.A. J.
Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We are here to help.

Need Help for Student Recognition
Students will have the opportunity to win prizes by turning in the Cougar HEART! coupon they have earned throughout each trimester. Please help us recognize our students for demonstrating Cougar HEART! by donating items (i.e. books, backpacks, gift cards, basket of treats, t– shirts, sweat shirts, basketballs, etc.) or a monetary amount (that we can use to purchase prizes) for our 1st drawing which will take place on November 11th. It is our goal to have at least 50 prizes for our students. Donations can be brought to Kathy Smith in the main office. We appreciate your support in this!

Student Planners
By now we hope that you have had a chance to check out our student planner. Students should have their planners close at hand while at school and at home. Each day students should keep an account of homework and projects that need to be completed. As parents and educational partners, you can help us by checking daily to see if your student’s planner is filled out, as well as making sure assignments are completed.
