CJSF is the middle school version of the California Scholarship Federation (CSF) in high school.  Students can join CSF in high school by meeting the academic criteria each semester and applying.  Students who meet the requirements all four years of high school wear a special cord with their graduation gowns.  CJSF is an opportunity for middle school students to get in the habit of accessing their report cards and completing applications using the point system after each trimester.

Membership is not automatic.  Qualified students must reapply each trimester by the advertised deadlines.  La Paz students who qualify and complete an application for two trimesters in 7th grade and the first two trimesters in 8th grade will receive gold seals on their promotion certificates.  Announcements will be made when applications are being accepted.  Applications must be turned in along with a printed copy of the report card by the advertised deadlines. Applications are available in English classrooms and in the front office during the two week application windows.

Students with questions/concerns should see or email their school counselor.
