Cameron Ranch Falcon Connection

Serving as the principal of Cameron Ranch Elementary for a fifth year brings great joy and purpose to my soul. Our school community has gone through many changes and challenges over the past several years, which whole-heartedly illuminated our incredible strength and sense of pride. Collectively, we have leaned into our unity by honestly and authentically engaging with one another through partnerships with our students, families, staff and the community. We have designed, and will continue to build, unique and creative spaces that aim to educate the whole child through these early years in their learning journey.

I look forward to soaring with you this year!

Principal Aliceon Sloss

Please Note:

Our first day of school is August 10th. We are so excited to welcome students to school!

We invite all Cameron Ranch Families to attend our Welcome Event on Wednesday, August 9th from 12:00pm to 1:00pm.

During this event we will distribute teacher/class assignments, school information, and provide an opportunity to meet teachers and staff.

Please contact the office if your family may need additional support for this event.

If you are unable to attend the Welcome Event, teacher assignments will be available through the Parent Portal on August 1st and tours are available by appointment by contacting the school office. Teachers may not be available to meet before school outside of this event due to trainings and additional support duties.

If you need assistance on the first day of school, August 10th, please contact our office. We understand some families may need additional layers of support for a variety of reasons. We are happy to help.

Please note:

We are busy getting ready to start the new year, so please know that teachers are available to meet families before or after school hours by appointment only. Families are invited to be near the blue tables outside the MP Room, the front of campus and in the courtyard for the safety of our students.Teachers are preparing for the day, around campus for additional support duties such as Car Line, Breakfast supervision, Walk Club, and more. Thank you for understanding.
