Carlyle Jr. High School

For any students in Ms Nielsen's classes who are having difficulty with their email: 1. Find their own interesting word (this can be any word they want) write it down including the meaning of the word. (just like we do with interesting words in class) 2. Write a narrative paragraph about their Christmas break. Remember a narrative is a story about yourself or your own experience. This should follow our paragraph of the week format, be 5 sentences and include a topic sentence and conclusion. 3. Write an informative paragraph about the snow days/e learning days. Remember an informative paragraph gives details and facts to be true. It can be teaching the reader about something. Just like we finished before Christmas Break. This should also follow our paragraph of the week format, be 5 sentences and include a topic sentence and conclusion.

Due to Central City being out of school today, the Jr. High boy's basketball game for tonight is cancelled.

We were very hopeful that we would be able to resume classes tomorrow. Unfortunately, we have not seen enough improvement in the rural road conditions. As a result, we will be utilizing an E-Learning Day tomorrow, Thursday, January 9th. We recognize the challenges this week has posed for some of our families and assure everyone that these decisions are not made lightly. Buses and young drivers on ice covered roads (in very low temperatures) are not a good combination. Information regarding E-Learning was texted and emailed out to families. Thank you once again for your understanding.

The CJHS Girls Basketball game at Mt Vernon on Thursday evening has been canceled due to Mt. Vernon canceling school. The CJHS Boys home game Thursday is still scheduled to be played at this time.

The tentative dates set for 5-8 grade girls volleyball tryouts is Jan 20th-22nd, 23rd if needed. Sports physical MUST be current to tryout.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 8th, will be a Snow Day for Carlyle CUSD #1. While the main roads are clear, many rural areas are still covered in ice. We hope for some sunshine to improve conditions and return our students to the classrooms on Thursday. Thank you for your understanding!

We hope you are all staying safe and warm out there! UPCOMING EVENTS AT CJHS: 08…Jersey/Team Apparel Day 09…7/8 Boys Basketball Home 13…7/8 Boys Basketball Home 15…Neon Day 21…7/8 Basketball Home (8th grade night) 22…$1 Hat Day 29…Camo Day

Snow Day- Due to poor road conditions on the side streets and country roads, we are canceling school for tomorrow, Tuesday, January 7th. We are more than ready to have our classrooms full again, but enjoy your extra time to play in the snow.

Important Announcement- Due to severe weather and road conditions, Carlyle CUSD #1 will have a Snow Day on Monday, January 6th. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Please stay safe everyone.

CJHS Students and Families, As we take time to rest and recharge over the break, we hope everyone enjoys a well-deserved pause filled with joy, laughter, relaxation, and quality time spent with loved ones. May this holiday season bring peace and happiness to you and your families, and may we return in the New Year refreshed and ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities that await. Happy Holidays to all of you, and best wishes for a wonderful year 2025! Sincerely, The CJHS Faculty and Staff
