Dear Incoming 2024-2025 7th Graders and Parents/Guardians,

In just a couple months you will be entering junior high school! At that time, we will be very happy to welcome you to this next exciting step in your educational career. Your mind has probably started to fill up with all sorts of questions about Channahon Junior High School. Well there is good news; we have a day designed to answer those questions called 7th Grade Step-up Day.

7th Grade Step-up Day will be on Tuesday, August 6, 2024. We will offer two different presentations followed by a building tour. You may bring school supplies to place in your locker after your building tour. The schedule for 7th Grade Step-Up Day will be as follows:

7th Grade Step-up Day Presentation #1 (CJHS GYM)

• 2:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. (Presentation starts promptly at 2:30 p.m.)
• 3:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. You may bring school supplies to place in your locker

7th Grade Step-up Day Presentation Opportunity #2 (CJHS GYM)

• 4:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Presentation starts promptly at 4:30 p.m.)
• 5:00 p.m. - 5:15 p.m. You may bring school supplies to place in your locker

You and your family can just pick whichever presentation time best fits your schedule that day. After the presentation, you will be able to walk your class schedule, see inside your classrooms, and open your locker. Teachers will not be present at Step-up Day. For anyone that ordered PTO Supply Kits, those will be available in the office as you enter Step-up Day.

Teachers will be present at Meet the Teachers Night which will be at 5:00 p.m. on August 21, 2024.

I look forward to meeting you on Tuesday, August 6th and I hope you have a great summer!

Sincerely,

Dr. Chad Uphoff
