The “Let’s Play” Two-Year-Old program is back for the 2025-26 school year! The first meeting of the year will take place on Wednesday, October 8th at 10 AM at Camden Elementary School.
Offered in partnership with Family School Navigation (Formerly Ready 4 Kindergarten), the “Let’s Play” program is a new, free monthly program for two-year-olds and their families. It consists of a monthly one-hour block of play-based learning and socialization with parent/guardian involvement. It is offered with the aim of progressing into the “Look at Me, I’m Three!” program for the following year, and creating a two year skill development on-ramp into Pre-K programming.
To be eligible for this program, a student must reside in the Camden Central School District, and be two years old, or reach that age on or before December 1st, 2025.
Participation for this first meeting will be limited to 15 children, and will be on a first-contact, first-serve basis.
RSVPs are required each month. To reserve your spot, or if you have questions, contact our Family School Navigator, Patti Ferretti, at 315-245-2616, extension 5200, or at pferretti@camdencsd.org.
Kindergarten families from both elementary buildings - You are invited to join the CCSD Kindergarten Team for a district-wide Kindergarten Family Night on Thursday, October 9th in the CES Front Gym! See the flyer for details. Questions about the event can be directed to your child's kindergarten teacher.

Enjoy today, friends. We'll see you tomorrow for all the excitement of the first day of school!
Get your cameras ready, folks! The first day of school is Thursday, and we love sharing as many first day pictures as we can get. If you'd like to submit some this year, send them along via email to camdenphotos@camdencsd.org
Whether it's celebrating the first day of school for your child(ren), or you're an employee or student excited about your upcoming year, it's all welcome here!
Submission Guidelines:
- JPEG, PNG, or HEIC files will work. Generally anything taken with a typical phone or camera works!
- While we know that it is a very popular trend right now, we ask, that you please keep pictures with signs containing information about your child to a minimum in anything that you submit, if possible.
(We will blur out that information on any signs we see in photos you submit.)
We'll be sharing them in groups on Facebook and on our Website as they come in through the end of the week, and into the early part of next week. Send them in no later than Monday at 7 AM for your chance!
One more week until we go back to school, Blue Devils!
As the summer winds down, our Back To School Hub webpage remains up with links to menus, bus route listings, provided supply lists, contact info, and more important information for the start of school - in one handy location.
The first day of school for K-12 is Thursday, September 4th.
Pre-K begins on Monday, September 8th.
