TESTING DAY TIPS::
REST UP! Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep!
FILL UP! Students should eat a nutritious and hearty breakfast. School breakfast is available every morning.
SHOW UP! Plan to be on time or early on test days so students don’t feel rushed or anxious. Avoid planning appointments or picking your child up early on these days. We want them to have as much time as they need to take the test.
SPEAK UP! Encourage your child to take his/her time and do their very best.

Students in Mrs. Guilmaris Fuller's Career College and Exploration classes presented their projects. She said, ' Last week we wrapped up our presentations on pitching a business, all students had to develop a business plan .
Name
Three products they’re selling
Cost to purchase the product to stock their stores
Who the target audience is?
Why people should shop at their location and not elsewhere
This project was so much fun because they had to use technology. They had to research the data. Some of them did not take it seriously, of course, but a multitude of them were super invested, and the majority of them did a great job researching and finding product cost and changing price value because the shipment is costing more they had to do math they had to create they had to design and here are some awesome photos of the presentations of their businesses."

📚🔐 Learning in Action at CCJH! 🔐📚
Students in Sra. Perez’s Spanish class participated in a collaborative Escape Room Challenge, applying their vocabulary and grammar knowledge to solve clues and unlock the next step.
Working in teams, students analyzed prompts, interpreted Spanish text, and used problem-solving strategies to move through each stage of the challenge. Activities like this promote critical thinking, communication, and collaboration while engagingly reinforcing language skills.
It was great to see students supporting one another and staying focused as the countdown clock kept the energy high! ⏱️
