🔍 Kindergarten Testing Demystified 🔍
If you have a rising TK or kindergarten student- please join us on Thursday, October 22 at 7:00 PM for Kindergarten Testing Demystified, featuring Dr. Barrie Morganstein of Psych CLT.
You may find yourself wondering - What actually happens during a TK or Kindergarten assessment? What are children asked to do? And what do schools learn from it?
During this informative evening, we’ll take a closer look at:
✨ What a TK and Kindergarten assessment looks like
✨ The types of activities children may be asked to complete
✨ The developmental and learning skills we observe
✨ How we put all of the pieces together to create a picture of each child
✨ How assessment information is used by the school to better understand and support students
Our goal is to pull back the curtain on the assessment process and help families understand what we’re looking for, why we’re looking for it, and how the information helps us see the whole child.
We hope you’ll join us for this helpful and informative evening!

What would it feel like to survive 47 days at sea?🛶🌊
.
Our 8th graders stepped into the story of Unbroken: Young Readers Edition through an immersive classroom survival simulation. After reading about Louis Zamperini’s harrowing experience, students constructed their own model liferaft to replicate the dimensions of Zamperini‘s raft, experiencing firsthand just how limited and cramped the space was.
.
Then came the real challenge: could they work together in that space?
.
Cramped quarters quickly tested patience, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. More importantly, the experience gave students a tangible way to develop empathy and connect with Lewis‘s extraordinary resilience in a way that went far beyond simply reading about it.
.
Sometimes the best way to understand a story is to step inside it.
.
At CJDS, learning doesn’t just happen on the page- it comes to life through hands-on, meaningful experiences.
