Greetings CAMS Families:
We enter this week with great pride and excitement, as three of our 8th grade students, Aleka Kirton, Alyvia King, and Deanna Spears placed 4th in the Connecticut History Day Regional competition this past Saturday.
They will move on to the state contest on May 4 at Central Connecticut State University.
Due to Parent-Teacher Conferences this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, students will be released early from school at 12:45 P.M.
Take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about your child’s progress and plan next steps for improvement.
Our goal is to keep you informed and partner with you to raise student achievement.
Thank you, parents and guardians for all you do!
