Greetings CAMS Families:
Our fourth week of school will begin with celebrating Hispanic heritage!
We will acknowledge and show appreciation for the Hispanic culture from September 15 through October 15.
Be on the alert for more information regarding this school community celebration.
We began I-Ready English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics Benchmark testing last week and will continue this week.
We will use the data from theses to establish appropriate placement and tailor instruction for maximum achievement.
To accomplish this goal, we will need you to reinforce the following items at home:
1. Adhere to all academic and behavioral expectations including daily class schedules and school procedures/policies.
2. Come to school, daily, on time, in uniform, and focused on being successful!
3. Be prepared each day with:
a) Large 3-ring binder (that zips closed, if possible)
b) School agenda
c) Notebook paper
d) Lock for the locker (purses, bags, cell phones, and personal items are to be placed in student lockers
e) 2 pocket folders for each subject (i.e., math, science, language arts, and social studies)
f) Pencils and pens
4. Be present and on time for each class. Violation of this policy will result in detention and possibly suspension if chronic.
5. Ensure cell phones, ear pods, and Apple watches are not heard or seen by anyone at any time while in school. All will be confiscated should there be a violation of this expectation.
6. Follow the dress code guidelines:
a. Collard Tops and Sweaters: White, Yellow, Black
b. Bottoms: Khaki, Navy, and Black
c. No hoodies
d. No open toe shoes
e. No leggings, no sweats, no jeans
If a student is not in compliance with this policy, a parent/guardian will be asked to bring in appropriate clothing to school.
7. Outside food deliveries are not allowed.
8. Student immunizations and physicals must be current. Contact our school nurse at 860-286-2622 extension 2025 to ensure student immunization and physicals are current.
Upcoming Events and Happenings:
a) Big E field trip will be Tuesday, September 17 from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.
b) Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 through October 15
c) I-Ready ELA and math testing continues this week for 8th graders
