Student Device Inventory
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are currently in the process of conducting an inventory of student devices at our school. We kindly request that you ensure your child brings their school-issued device to the CRJH library, where it will be scanned into our inventory system this week.
Should your child no longer require the Chromebook at home, they are welcome to turn it in early. This will assist us in streamlining our inventory process and ensuring all devices are properly accounted for.
Please note that the deadline for all Chromebooks and chargers to be returned is May 17th.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this matter.

Star Reading Screener
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Over the next couple of weeks, your student will participate in the Renaissance Star Reading screener during English class. This assessment is computer-adaptive and created to assist teachers to quickly identify areas of strengths and growth for students in reading. With this tool, teachers will be able to more specifically target their instruction to ensure student growth for each individual student.
- 6th Grade – Friday, May 10
- 7th Grade – Thursday, May 2
- 8th Grade – Monday, April 29
This assessment will not be taken for a grade as it is strictly a tool to provide teachers with data to inform instruction. The screener will take the students approximately 20-30 minutes to complete.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your student’s English teacher.
