Greetings CAMS Families:
We ended last week with Parent-Teacher Conferences.
We hope that you took advantage of this opportunity to learn more about your child’s progress and ways to help them achieve going forward.
If you have any further questions regarding your child’s progress, please contact our school counselors.
This week we will complete I-Ready Benchmark testing and administer the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) to our eighth graders.
Data from these assessments are used to target instruction and establish appropriate course placement in high school.
Our goal is to keep you informed and partner with you to raise student achievement.
Thank you, parents and guardians for all you do!
