On Wednesday, the CGEA - P.R.I.D.E. committee and the Music Matters parents hosted the annual "Dinner and Show" for our senior citizens. Seniors were invited to a beautiful buffet which was located in the CGHS main cafeteria. Immediately following, the seniors were invited to watch the dress rehearsal of Something Rotten. Thank you to CGEA- P.R.I.D.E., Music Matters, and the student, parent, and staff volunteers who helped to make this night so special for the senior citizens.

All Grade 11 students will be taking the NJGPA beginning Monday, March 10th. Please see this letter with specific information regarding the graduation assessment.

In preparation for the NJGPA - an ELA and Math assessment that serves as a graduation requirement - students have been reviewing concepts in their classes. In addition, extra study and practice sessions have been offered by Mrs. Barboza, Math/Science Supervisor as well as several teachers in the math department during study halls and lunch. Students who are most in need of support have been identified by their teachers and encouraged to attend these sessions. The following NJGPA Prep Google Form was shared with them to sign up. Please discuss these options with your students. Those who do not pass this assessment will be required to take the NJGPA again in the fall. Other pathways, including the Accuplacer exam are then required if students do not pass a second time. During this time period of preparation, seniors will not be permitted to leave for lunch as they will be required to participate in ongoing practice sessions.

Questions may be directed to Janine Barboza.
