CJHS Charger Connection

October 23, 2026

From the Principal...

Chiddix Students and Families,

We have officially kicked off Quarter 2, and there are a few important updates and celebrations to share:

Learning Lab Rotations & Interventions: Student Learning Labs have rotated for the new quarter. If your student has been placed in an intervention based on our Fall assessment data, a letter has been mailed home to inform your family.
Quarter 1 PBIS Celebration: We are thrilled to celebrate reaching our Quarter 1 goal! Our students earned an amazing 40,000 points for consistently demonstrating what it means to be responsible, respectful, and safe.
Updated Tardy Policy: To protect valuable instructional time and ensure classes start with minimal disruption, we are implementing updated Charger Tardy Protocols:
- Supports & Consequences: While we will recognize and reward punctuality with positive recognition and House points, repeated tardies (such as 3+ tardies in a quarter) will lead to interventions, including lunch detentions, In-School Suspension, social probation, or administrative meetings to help keep students on track.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students focused, on time, and set up for success in Quarter 2!

Go Chargers! 🧡🖤

Have a great weekend!

PBIS

We need your help!

Students at CJHS use House Points earned in our PBIS Matrix for positive behavior and are able to spend that monthly at our school store. Given that we have almost 700 students in our building and they are deeply invested in this store, it is crucial we keep this store stocked consistently throughout the entire year. Ms. Meszar, our Spirit Coach, will be updating this list constantly throughout the year based on student suggestions, with the most suggested items currently being self care supplies, fidgets, accessories, and stationary. We are looking for items big and small, so if you have anything you would like to donate to our store to sell, please email meszarj@unit5.org. Thanks!

Veteran's Day Assembly - Wednesday, November 11th

Chiddix Junior High School is proud to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. We will host a Veterans Day Assembly on Wednesday, November 11, from 9:00–9:50 AM to recognize and celebrate the service and sacrifices of our veterans.

We warmly invite all veterans and family members who would like to join us for this special celebration. Veterans are invited to enjoy coffee and donuts in the IMC (library) as we come together to show our appreciation for their service.

Arrival Details: Please plan to arrive a little early to allow time to check in at the main office before the assembly begins at 9:00 AM.

We look forward to celebrating with our school community and expressing our gratitude to those who have served our nation. Thank you to all of our veterans for your courage, dedication, and service!

Positive Principal Students

We are proud to recognize our students who received positive principal recognition for demonstrating the character traits that make Chiddix such a special place!

Keep making positive choices, leading by example, and charging forward together! We are proud of you, Chargers!

Do you want to shoutout a Chiddix staff member?

The purpose of this form is to provide recognition to CJHS staff members for outstanding work in our school building. This form is open to any district staff member, community member, family member, parent/guardian, students and anyone else who would like to recognize someone that works for our school. You may also choose to recognize someone in the building who isn't a classroom teacher, but supports our building in a non-teaching role (administrative assistants, teaching assistants, food service, custodians, etc.)

We believe that recognition should be timely and authentic in order to serve people best. Thank you very much for taking the time to recognize someone at Chiddix, and thank you for supporting our work with students and each other!
