C.I.S. Newsletter
Parents - October 2024
Thank you!
It is hard to believe this month is the end of the first quarter. I want to thank you for the support of your child and their education. It is an honor to serve you and your family.
Grading
P - Proficient on the standard
A - Approaching proficiency on the standard
N - Needs improvement on the standard
The grades entered as "formatives" are just a checkpoint for us to know where students are with their understanding of the standard to guide our instructional plans. The child is not expected to be at a P during the formative checkpoints. The summative grade (unit assessment) is where we would like for students to be at a P.
It came to our attention on the parent side of TeacherEase from the computer, not the app, it will show a red box that states "not meeting expectations" under the status section if the score is not a P. Please do not panic as the red box will grab your attention.

Community Partnerships
The Mission of Community Partnerships is to make a robust connection between our students and their community.
The Goal of Community Parternerships is to make education come alive for children of the Cameron Intermediate School. The partership between our children and Cameron businesses will allow for students to learn about careers in their community, how the state standards they are learning in school align to knowledge used in local businesses and the importance of communication skills used by employers and customers.
Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week will be celebrated October 21-23, 2024. See the flyer below for dress up days.
Parent Teacher Conferences
There is no school on October 24 or 25. Parent teacher conferences will be on October 24. Please watch for a sign up to come from your child's teacher.
Honoring our Veterans!
It is always a pleasure to honor our Veterans who have given so much to protect our country and our freedom. Veterans Day is Monday, November 11. Since Cameron R-I is out of school that day for teacher inservice, C.I.S. will be honoring veterans, related to C.I.S. children, with a breakfast on Friday, November 8. If your child has a family member they would like to honor, please fill out the form linked below by Friday, November 1.
