Greetings CAMS Families:
We have a shortened week due to Indigenous Day on Monday and Professional Learning Day for staff on Tuesday. This means the week will begin on Wednesday for students.
First quarter progress reports are available within the Parent Portal. Families will need to log into a web browser version of PowerSchool (not the app) to view the reports. To access this information, families can click on the “Student Reports” icon. Consider this a prime opportunity to review your student’s progress with them and follow-up with teachers to plan for improvement before the first quarter closes with final grades.
Our goal is to keep you informed and partner with you to raise student achievement.
Thank you, parents and guardians for all you do!
Please continue to reinforce the below-referenced items at home:
1. Check PowerSchool on a weekly basis to remain informed of student academic performance. If you require assistance with gaining access to PowerSchool, please contact school counselors - Karen Goldman and Allison Glenney at (860) 286-2622.
2. Adhere to all academic and behavioral expectations including daily class schedules and school procedures/policies.
3. Come to school, daily, on time, in uniform, and focused on being successful!
4. Monitor your student’s peer groups and social activity outside of school. We must eliminate all distractions to teaching and learning!
5. Be prepared each day with:
