Get Charged! Shadow Program

List of 8 frequently asked questions.

• Q: Who is permitted to shadow at Cor Jesu? 

  We invite students to visit in the fall of their 8th grade year. We do not permit 7th grade students to visit at this time.

• Q: When do shadow days take place? 

  Visit days for 8th graders begin in September and run through November. The complete schedule will be available at a later date.

• Q: How and when do I schedule my shadow day? 

  Our online Visit Request Form will go live on August 1, 2020. You may schedule your appointment via this form any time after this date. We ask that you please try to schedule your visit at least 7 days in advance. Reservations are made on a first-come, first-serve basis. We do have a limit of 25 students visiting per day, due to classroom space and teacher to student ratio, so please schedule early to reserve your date. We will do our best to accommodate your scheduling preference; however, please have an alternative date(s) in mind in the event we are booked. We are grateful for your cooperation and understanding regarding this policy.

• Q: Are visits a half day or a full day?

  Cor Jesu runs on a block schedule, which means we have four 85-minute classes per day. For this reason, we do not schedule any half-day visits, as this would not allow for the fullest classroom experience.

• Q: Who will I be paired with for my shadow day at Cor Jesu? May I request someone?

  8th graders are paired with current sophomores, as they have been at Cor Jesu for a full year and are familiar with the campus. When scheduling your visit, we make sure to ask for your favorite subjects and hobbies, so we can do our best to match you with a CJ student who shares those same interests. Requests may be made for a specific shadow guide only if she is a member of the Student Ambassador Program or a family member.

• Q: What do I wear on my shadow day?

  School uniform or school appropriate attire is suggested for visit days. We do request that students not wear jeans, sweatpants or shorts (unless otherwise indicated upon reservation, i.e. Dress Down Days/Spirit Days).

• Q: When and where do I go for check-in and pick up?

  Check-in for visitors will be in the new student commons lobby. Check-in is at 8:30 a.m., Pick-up will be in the main office at 2:40 p.m. (unless otherwise indicated upon reservation, i.e. Early Dismissal Days). Thursdays at Cor Jesu are 1:40 dismissal days throughout the school year, so if your date falls on a Thursday, the pick-up time would be at 1:40.  Please follow the signs located around the campus.

• Q: Should I bring anything with me?

  We will provide you with a free lunch from our cafeteria, as well as a free drink coupon. You are welcome to bring a water bottle for the school day if you would like. We encourage visitors not to bring books to read, homework, iPads, etc. Your daughter is allowed to bring her cellphone, but we ask that it not be used during classes. We feel these will be distractions from the classroom and social experience of your visit. We will provide all the materials you need for a fun filled day!
