CUBS Chronicle
August 9, 2024
Mr. Smith's Scoop 🍦
Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year. We had a great week. Principals are year round employees and I can tell you school is pretty lonely in July. I was so happy to get students and staff back!
I have been in every classroom each day this week & have been so impressed by how quickly our students have learned (relearned) our CUBS expectations:
C: Courteous and Respectful;
U: Understanding our Responsibilities;
B: Being Safe;
S: Spreading Kindness.
When we all demonstrate these expectations we create a positive and supportive learning environment for all.
Our Camelview PTO is hosting a Family Movie Night next Friday from 5:30-7 PM at the Madison Center for the Arts. This is a great opportunity to meet other families and have a FREE family night out. The movie is The Super Mario Brothers. *Snacks and drinks are available for purchase.
Congratulations to Mrs. Davis!
Mrs. Davis was recognized as one of the top 15 teachers in Arizona this year. Arizona Educational Foundation (AEF®) Announced the Fifteen Candidates for 2025 AEF Arizona Teacher of the Year and Mrs. Davis was one of them! Yay!
Have a great weekend & I hope to see you all at Movie Night on August 16th!

Keeping Our Students Safe
Arrival and Dismissal
Thank you for being patient as families learn our procedure. WIth over 50% of our families choosing to attend Camelview from outside of our district boundaries, our parking lot is quite busy.
A few reminders:
Drop off in the morning should be in the curb lane. Please do not drop off in our main parking lot. You are welcome to park and walk your student up to the school though.
Please be a good neighbor by not parking in surrounding parking lots. There is plenty of street parking south of your Campbell crosswalk.
Students will not be dismissed in the last half hour of the school day, additionally, if you have any changes to your child's pick up procedure it is necessary to contact the front office before 2:00.
Birthday Celebrations! 🎂
Got a Birthday Coming Up? Purchase a Birthday Box!
Our cafeteria can provide birthday boxes at a very low cost. This reduces the impact on classroom learning time (every minute counts), reduces the likelihood of ants in classrooms and creates a fun celebration during lunch times. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tkA7cxvKb4gCb7RDTtE2mxsgSZzxXMui/view?usp=sharing
