Welcome to Week 10, Braves!

🖤💛 CAREY BRAVES | WEEK 12

WEEK 12: KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING, BRAVES!

Carey Families,

We are officially settling into Quarter 2, and Week 12 is all about MOMENTUM!

Last week, we challenged our Braves to reflect on Quarter 1, look at their grades, and make a plan for improvement. This week, we are taking that challenge one step further.

A goal without action is just a wish.

Our semester grades continue through Quarter 2, which means every assignment, every effort, and every positive choice matters. Whether your Brave is working to improve a grade, strengthen a friendship, get to class on time, or build better habits, progress happens through the small choices we make every day.

And here is the best part: You don't have to change everything to start changing something!

🎯 WEEK 12 BRAVE CHALLENGE: ONE GOAL. ONE ACTION. EVERY DAY.

Braves, remember that goal you set for Quarter 2?

Now it's time to put it into action!

Ask yourself:

What is ONE thing I can do today that moves me closer to my goal?

Maybe it's turning in an assignment, asking your teacher a question, arriving to class before the bell, putting your phone away, or encouraging someone who is having a tough day.

Whatever your goal, make one choice today that helps you get there.

SMALL CHOICES. BIG GROWTH. THAT'S HOW WE BRAVE!

📚 ACADEMIC ACADEMY: YOUR PLAN NEEDS ACTION!

Quarter 2 grades continue building toward the semester, and now is the time to take ownership of your progress.

Families, take a few minutes this week to check Infinite Campus with your Brave. Celebrate what's going well and identify where additional support might help.

Academic Academy

Room 1409 | 2:50–3:30 PM

Students can get help, complete assignments, and make a plan for success.

KNOW IT. OWN IT. GROW IT.

DIVE IN. BUILD SKILLS. BE BRAVE!

🏀🤼 STUDENT FIRST. BRAVE ALWAYS.

Basketball and wrestling season brings exciting opportunities to cheer on our Braves!

Remember that students must be academically eligible to attend Carey athletic events. Students who are not passing should use Academic Academy for support or head home to focus on improving their grades.

TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS IN THE CLASSROOM SO YOU CAN CHEER IN THE STANDS!

And remember:

Coaches Coach. Officials Officiate. Players Play. Parents Cheer.

📵 BELL TO BELL. NO CELL.

Our expectations remain the same in Quarter 2!

Phones and other personal electronic devices should remain off and away throughout the school day.

Be present. Be engaged. Make every minute count.

PHONES AWAY. MINDS ON.

⏰ BEAT THE BELL. BUILD THE HABIT.

One of the easiest ways to build positive momentum is to arrive to class on time and ready to learn.

Braves, use your passing periods wisely, get to class before the bell, and start each period prepared.

BE ON TIME. BE PREPARED. BE BRAVE.

🚗 SAFETY FIRST, BRAVES!

Families, please continue helping us keep students safe during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up.

Use the designated parent drop-off lane in front of the building. The staff parking lot is not a student drop-off or pick-up location.

Please follow the established traffic flow, watch for pedestrians, and follow staff directions.

SLOW DOWN. FOLLOW THE FLOW. KEEP BRAVES SAFE.

🖤💛 KEEP SHOWING UP. KEEP GROWING. KEEP BEING BRAVE!

Quarter 2 isn't about starting over. It's about taking what we've learned and using it to become stronger.

BRAVE ENOUGH TO START.

STRONG ENOUGH TO FINISH.

DETERMINED ENOUGH TO KEEP GOING!

Students. Staff. Families. Community.

That's How We BRAVE!

CJHS Principals

#CareyBraves

💛 CATCH A BRAVE: THE LITTLE THINGS MATTER!

Some of the most powerful examples of being BRAVE happen in everyday moments.

A student encouraging a classmate who is struggling.

Someone inviting another student to join a group.

A Brave choosing kindness when no one is watching.

These are the moments that make Carey special!

We will continue recognizing students who demonstrate kindness, respect, responsibility, a commitment to learning, and positive engagement.

SEE IT. CELEBRATE IT. SHARE IT.

This week, ask your Brave:

"What is one thing you did this week that made you proud?"

Then ask:

"What is one thing you want to do better next week?"

Sometimes the most important conversations aren't about grades. They're about effort, character, confidence, and growth.

As we begin Quarter 2, we're also thinking about how we can better support our families.

What would be helpful?

📚 Literacy Night?
➗ Math Night?
💻 Technology Support?
📊 Understanding grades and Infinite Campus?
🎓 Preparing for high school?
❓ Something we haven't thought of?

Watch for our Carey Family Supports survey and tell us what would make a difference for your family.

YOUR VOICE. YOUR NEEDS. OUR PARTNERSHIP.

Carey Families, mark your calendars!

How much screen time is too much? How does technology impact our children's learning, behavior, relationships, and overall well-being?

Join us for a special evening with Dr. Romano, who will discuss screen time and its impact on youth.

📅 Tuesday, December 8, 2026
⏰ 6:00–7:00 PM
🎤 Guest Speaker: Dr. Romano

This is a wonderful opportunity for Carey families to learn more about the role technology plays in our children's lives and explore ways to support healthy screen time habits at home.

SAVE THE DATE! More information will be coming soon!

STRONGER FAMILIES. HEALTHIER HABITS. BRIGHTER TOMORROWS.

That's How We BRAVE! 🖤💛

November is a great time to focus on gratitude and kindness.

Challenge students to thank a teacher, encourage a classmate, include someone new, or recognize a staff member who makes a difference.

"GRATITUDE IS MORE THAN SOMETHING WE FEEL. IT'S SOMETHING WE SHOW!"

📈 What's Your Quarter 2 Goal?

Before Quarter 2 gets moving, every Brave should be able to answer one question:

What do I want to accomplish this quarter?

Maybe you want to raise a grade.

Maybe you want zero missing assignments.

Maybe you want to improve attendance or get to every class on time.

Maybe you want to participate more, make a new friend, or improve your behavior.

Your goal doesn't have to be huge.

It just needs to be yours.

Write it down. Make a plan. Then start.

Dress for Success: Ready to Learn. Ready to BRAVE.

At Carey, we want every student to feel comfortable, confident, and ready to learn. A simple way to remember our dress expectations is the 4 Bs:

BACK • BELLY • BOTTOM • BUST

These areas should remain appropriately covered throughout the school day. Our goal is not to focus on fashion choices, but to maintain a safe, respectful, and learning focused environment for everyone.

Before heading to school, take a quick look and ask:

“Am I dressed and ready for success?”

When we dress for the school day, we show respect for ourselves, one another, and our learning environment.

LOOK GOOD. FEEL GOOD. DO GOOD.

🖤💛 Dress for Success. That’s How We BRAVE! 🖤💛

🖤💛 Lost Something? Let’s Find It! 🖤💛

Our Lost & Found is filling up! Sweatshirts, jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, and other items are waiting to find their way home.

Families, please encourage your student to check the Lost & Found if something has gone missing. Students should take only items that belong to them and help us keep the area organized.

See it. Check it. Claim it. Take it home!
