Connected Community Schools is hosting two parent information sessions about vaping and school year prep on Thursday, August 22nd, and Wednesday, August 28th. See the attached flyer for times, locations, and contact information.
Inside and out, the press box at the new varsity baseball field housed at Camden Middle School is beginning to take shape. We've been able to have some activity on the field this spring and summer, but this is where the project will really go to the next level with an operations level on the second floor, and the ability to run a concession stand adjacent to the stands on the first floor.
The field sports an artificial turf infield and natural grass outfield, and we will say from experience today that the outfield drainage is performing quite well with the substantial rain we've had in the past few days.
As you may know, CHS does not publish a comprehensive building supply list because of the diversity in student scheduling and class needs. To help students and families prepare for the first day of school, the CHS Mathematics and Science departments have released the following supply lists. Please note that these may be subject to change.
Contact the CHS Main Office with any questions.
If you haven't submitted permanent transportation changes to the registrar, today (8/19) is the deadline to do so for the first day of school. Reach out at rarchibee@camdencsd.org to do so, or if you have questions!
Connected Community Schools is holding Open HUB tonight from 4-6 in the CHS Hub!

For several years, Camden CSD students have received a free breakfast and lunch through the Community Eligibility Provision without an application requirement. That will continue this year.
While not required for meals, we still encourage all district families to fill out the Income Eligibility Form each year, regardless of circumstances.
It’s free, it’s confidential, it only takes a few minutes, and it can have a positive impact on the resources available to our staff and students. See the informational graphic below to learn more about how filling out the Income Eligibility Form can make a difference in our school community.
Forms are available at https://www.camdenschools.org/o/ccsd/page/food-services, and one will also be sent home with your student(s) at the beginning of the school year.
Questions can be directed to the Camden CSD Business Office.
Under the Community Eligibility Provision of the National School Lunch Program, we will continue to provide all students with a free breakfast and lunch each day during the 2024-25 school year.

Due to a loss of power in our buildings from yesterday's storm, all Summer Programs for the Camden Central School District for Wednesday, July 17th are cancelled.
Menus for the August portion of the Summer Nutrition Program are here! This program, supported by the USDA, allows all individuals 18 years of age or younger to receive a free breakfast and lunch on each day the program is in operation. As a reminder, if your child is participating in a summer program, they will have scheduled time to eat during that program.
Outside of summer programming, Walk-In Service is provided at Camden Elementary School, and runs on a Monday through Friday schedule. It will run until Friday, August 16th. Meal times are 7:45 AM to 9:15 AM for breakfast, and 11:15 AM to 12:30 PM for lunch.
