The app, Fortify FL, is a tool for students to efficiently report threats. Tips can be sent in anonymously or students can include their name if they choose to. The app is designed to be easy to use and convenient to students to access via app or website.

CCJSHS has eleven All-Star students who have completed the R.A.I.S.E. High School Tutor training for the 24-25 school year! They were eager to learn and participate in the activities for each component of reading and one of the best groups I have trained so far. Pictures of their training and site visits are attached below.

Hurricane Milton Update- 10/10/24, 5:00PM: We are grateful for those in our community who have worked to keep everyone safe during Hurricane Milton!
Friday, October 11: PCSD schools/offices are CLOSED so we may assess any possible damage to our facilities and clean up those used for shelters.
Monday, October 14: PCSD schools/offices are OPEN for a teacher planning day. Monday is a student holiday.
Tuesday, October 15: PCSD schools/offices are OPEN for all students and staff as a regular school day. The previously scheduled staff in-service day will be cancelled to provide a regular school day and make-up some of the instructional time lost due to 6 days missed for Hurricane Helene and Milton. The Florida Dept. of Education requires a certain number of hours each term for students to earn instructional credits in all grade levels. This is required of all districts even after weather events cause school closures.
We appreciate the patience and cooperation of our staff and families as we work to bring schools back to order after this unfortunate event. Thank you!

The Middle School President Marian Munoz-Acosta and Vice President Blaine Allender both attended engaging sessions on leadership in FFA. There were also very informative sessions for the Advisors to attend to help engage our chapters in the school and the community. It was nice to be able to network and Interact with other Ag Teachers/FFA Advisors across the state.
Our chapter is excited about the 24-25 school year and look forward to the skills and ideas that Marian and Blaine will bring with them!
if you missed the SENIOR PARENT NIGHT last Monday here is some information on the Senior Package. This year we are offering two Packages. If you are interested in any of them please make sure to fill out the form by October 11, 2024, and submit it to any of the Senior Class sponsors or to Ms. Holly, the Executive Secretary.
We have only ordered 100 GradBash tickets, so at the moment we can only sell 100 (Package A) Seniors packets. If you are not interested in Gradbash, then Package B would be ideal for you, it includes everything else except the senior trip. If you are only interested in the CAP & Gown, it is $80.00 and you can only order it through the school.
When you fill out the form MAKE SURE TO MARK WHICH PACKAGE YOU WANT.
Also, make sure you pay on time because if the package is not paid in full, you will automatically be placed for Package B.
If you have any other questions feel free to reach out to any of the class sponsors. The Senior Class Sponsors are: Oscar Jaimes, Kate Livesey, Alicia Baylon, or Jamie Garcia.

A presentation by Madeline Tessaro and Aabrianna Rubio to the Pomona Park Town Council. These young ladies did a very nice job of explaining the Miss CCHS Little Library Program and requesting to place two of the Little Libraries in town. They brought along one of the libraries which was built by our Construction Class under the direction of Mr. Tessaro.
