Community Closing and Delay Notifications

Community Closing and Delay Notifications

Winter is coming soon, and the Camden Central School District is adding a new tool to keep the community informed through a new Community Closing/Delay Notifications group through ParentSquare. This will allow you to receive the same notifications that our parents/guardians and staff receive in the event school is closed or delayed, if we are forced to dismiss early, or if we must cancel all after-school activities. It will not grant access to any other ParentSquare features reserved for staff, parents, and legal guardians. 

Ideal use cases for this group include, but are not limited to:
-Relatives who are not parents/legal guardians but may serve as caregivers.
-Babysitters
-Organizations that could be impacted if we need to delay or close.
-Community members who may attend sports events or our Winter Walking program. If school is closed due to weather, or after school activities are cancelled, these events are typically cancelled as well. 

If you already have a parent/staff/student account with us, you should already be receiving these alerts.
