Data talks with Mrs. Kochiyama
Hello everyone!
Does your student need a quiet place to study and do homework? Price has the answer! Homework Center will be starting on Monday, August 26. It will run Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3-4pm. 6th, 7th and 8th graders will meet in the library. Students will need to turn in a "permission slip" directly to the Homework Center teacher on their first day (the permission slips DO NOT go to the office or individual teachers).
Cross Country Commences!
House Competitions at Brunch
Free School Meals
Cambrian School District is pleased to offer all students complimentary breakfast and lunch meals. Meals will be available for pickup in the cafeteria during scheduled meal periods. Please consider taking advantage of our FREE school meals by clicking here and signing up. It extends your grocery budget, saves time planning and preparing meals, and is comforting and familiar for kids to have school meals. In addition, every meal served is reimbursed by the USDA and funds go toward Child Nutrition staff wages. Please note that you are not taking food away from someone who needs it more – we have plenty to go around!
Cheer Tryouts
If you are interested in joining the Price Cheer Squad, you can try out on:
Tuesday September 3rd - from 3-4

Rocketry - 2 Liter Bottles Needed
Rocketry needs 2-Liter Soda Bottles. We need a lot this year...around 350. Please save your soda bottles. Rinse, cap them and send them to school. No crushed bottles please. Your student can deliver them to Mrs. Van Campenhout in room 39 and earn themselves some Proud Grams.
Thank you for your support.
Attendance is critical to student success!
Did you know...
- By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.
- By 9th grade, attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.
ATTENDANCE TIPS
• Talk about the importance of showing up to school every day.
• Help your children maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.
• Try not to schedule dental and non-urgent related medical appointments during the school day.
• Keep your student healthy, and if you are concerned about Covid-19, call your school for advice.
• If your children must stay home because they are sick, make sure they have asked teachers for resources and materials to make up for the missed learning time in the classroom.
