Clinton Junior High School is initiating changes this coming school year and making plans for the next few years. Three of the changes are becoming a "one-to-one" school, switching to standard base grading, and incorporating a program called Restorative Practices.

 

In the past students had ipads available for the classroom only. This year students will take the ipads home with them, allowing for outside school work.

 

CJHS is on a 5 year plan to implement standard base grading. Instead of the typical ABCD system, the school will have a 1234 grading system. This increases student achievement.

 

Over the summer faculty and staff participated in a workshop explaining the Restorative Practices program. Maxwell says this program is to promote positivity and healthy relationships within the school and the community.

 

 

 

Josh Maxwell was appointed to Principal after being the Assistant Principal for 3 years. Classes begin August 22.
