Mr. Smith's Scoop 🍦
Happy Friday.
It has been a busy and wonderful week here at Camelview. I was able to visit all classrooms several times this week and I was impressed with all the deep thinking and learning our students were engaged in.
If you have any available time, we could use volunteer support in our Health Room. We need help putting together little first aid kits for classrooms, as well as extra adult help during our highest volume times - lunch recess (10:50-12:50).
We are also doing our fall screenings for reading and math next week. While test proctors and teachers test students one-on-one, extra help is needed in supervising other students while they wait their turn to be tested. If you have a few hours next week, please consider helping us out. You can sign-up using the link below: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4DAFAA2BABFAC52-50700739-parent#/
Tonight is our PTO’s Family Movie Night at the Madison Center for the Arts. The movie is free. Doors open at 5:30 and the movie begins at 6:00. Our PTO will have beverages and snacks available for purchase.
Next Tuesday is our PTO’s first Peter Piper Night of the year. Mark your calendars and join.
Have a wonderful weekend.

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.
Please do not use the staff parking area next to the Cafeteria doors for drop off or pick up.
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
