After a great first day, it's time to fuel up for day two! We'll see you soon!



Attention Senior Families! Do you still need senior pictures done? Connected Community Schools is here to help! The organization is offering the opportunity to have senior portraits done, free of charge, on Saturday, September 14th at Camden High School.
These are by appointment only. Please contact Kelly Redden, our HS site coordinator, at 315-832-4898, or at kredden@camdencsd.org in order to reserve your spot.


Mrs. Pulizzi and her first grader Scarlett are excited to share a great year ahead!


Then.... and Now!
In 2016, Levi took this picture with his aunt, CHS English Teacher MacKenzie Pereira. Eight years later, he's walking into CHS to start his freshman year!



A last first day for two lifelong friends. We hope the entire Class of 2025 had a great first day! Let's see what the second one brings.


What would first day of school pictures be without some dogs involved? It's a good question, and we're pleased to say we have you covered in that area.
Our own Stephanie Heath grabbed yet another great picture of her two children and their four-legged best friend as they prepared to start 2nd and 4th grade in the morning.
Tracy Hooker sent along another picture of therapy dogs Kylo and Oaklyn enjoying some fresh air in the CHS Courtyard after school on what turned out to be a gorgeous day in Central New York.



Mr. Calkins and Mr. Petrie had students in their DDP (Design Drawing and Production) classes get right to work on Thursday with a favorite first day activity: The Paper Tower Challenge!
The goal is to build the tallest possible free-standing structure using only three sheets of paper and 24 inches of tape. We saw a school record last year, and this year, the students delivered as the bar was raised even further by Gabe Grinnell and Colton Schuler! The pair built a tower that stood at an incredible 76.5 inches tall.
The previous record, set last year by Corbin Marsh and Brayden Seymour, was 73.5 inches.
Colton and Gabe will have their names added to Mr. Petrie’s “Wall of Fame” for their achievement.






As with our staff and students, it was also the first day of school this year for our School Patrol Officers from the Oneida County Sherriff's Office. We look forward to another year working in partnership with their agency.


It's safe to say she was excited to get started on Thursday!



Is it spirit week, or the first day of school in the District Office?
You decide.


With our first day, also comes plenty of last first days among the Class of 2025! Misty Grinnell passed along this picture of Mettarose as she starts off on the first day of senior year!
Seniors: It's your time. Enjoy this year and make the most of your opportunities! We're excited to see what you do this year.


Morning To-Do List:
First Day Outfit: Check.
Backpack: Check.
Show-Stopping Jazz Hands: Check.







Check out these first day smiles! Our families have been sending pictures in all morning. If you'd like to be featured, email your first day snaps to camdenphotos@camdencsd.org.
If you'd like to participate, we ask that you do so by noon on Friday. We'll be working on a little project with what we have at that point for all of you to enjoy.
Pre-K Families: We'll make sure you get your moment on Monday. We're excited for that day to come!











CES Interventionist Katie Bliss was excited to take her two boys to first grade this morning!


For CMS Teacher Stephanie Smith, every day is now "Bring Your Child to Work Day" for the foreseeable future. Two of her own start fifth grade today, and when they move up, her first grader will be ready to carry the torch at CMS for another four years. Family is what it's all about.
Have an AWESOME year!



Happy first day of school from Mrs. Libertella's MVCC College Chemistry students at CHS!
This class is one of many dual credit opportunities we offer at CHS. They are also fortunate to have Mrs. Libertella, who is part of the NYS Master Teacher program. Have a great year!
