Whether it was art you can see, or art you can eat, it was all about the torches in Mrs. Amann's class at Kindergarten BootCamp! The class made torches with toilet paper rolls and tissue paper, along with ones made out of Cheetos and ice cream cones!

If you're new to the District, or haven't registered your child for school yet, there is still time! Act quickly to ensure the smoothest possible start to the school year. K-12 registration is handled year-round on a rolling basis, and we still have some openings in our Universal Pre-K program as well!

The Camden Central School District is pleased to announce that it will be piloting a full day pre-kindergarten classroom for the 2024-25 academic year. This optional full day opportunity will run alongside our existing half day opportunities at McConnellsville Elementary School.
This program was made possible through the resources provided by the grant funding that sustains our Universal Pre-K program.
Eighteen students will have the opportunity to participate in a full day Pre-K program on a trial basis. As with the half day program, transportation and daily meals will be provided, and the program is free to families.
If more than eighteen students declare interest for the full day pilot program, a lottery will be held to determine who will receive the opportunity to participate in the full day program. If your child is not selected for the full day program, they will maintain their spot for the half day program as originally scheduled.
If you wish for your child to attend the half day program you already registered for, you do not need to take any action.
Interested? Apply at this link! The deadline to apply is Monday, August 19th. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8aXeXwFolMBZ1E9918Sc6XdkmfCcv6pJ_IcSZ-OjNP4BxMg/viewform
You can also declare your interest by phone at 315-245-2616 between the hours of 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM.
District Pre-K Coordinator Craig Ferretti can be reached for questions at 315-245-2616 or cferretti@camdencsd.org.
