Welcome to the first day of school for the 2024-25 school year! We're excited to see everyone very shortly!
Share those first day moments with us!
If you'd like to share your first day of school pictures with us and don't mind us sharing them, send them to camdenphotos@camdencsd.org and we'd love to feature as many as we possibly can.
While we know that it is a very popular trend right now, we ask that you please refrain from submitting pictures to us with signs containing information about your child.
We're looking forward to getting the year started!
Tomorrow, we get the year started! We'll see you soon!
And to our friends in Pre-K, we're super excited to welcome you to school for your first day on Monday, 9/9!
Yesterday, the McConnellsville Elementary School community came together to celebrate the start of the year with its annual Back to School Bash! This event provides a chance to re-connect with friends and build a relationship with teachers before the year begins. The event included an inflatable obstacle course, popcorn, temporary tattoos, and ice cream.
As always, a very special thank you to the McVille PTO and our McVille staff members for their efforts in making this happen!
Yesterday, we spent the morning getting inspired to make every day: "the best day ever" at our Staff Opening Day Assembly!
This morning, five Camden Central School District staff members were honored for achieving 25 years of service.
They are:
Michael Carey - CHS Social Studies
Karen Davis - CHS Social Studies
Erin Gannon - CMS Science
Tracy Hooker - CHS Special Education
and Talie Sullivan - CMS 6th Grade
Congratulations, and THANK YOU for a quarter century of serving our students and community!
2024-2025 Pre-K Families! Our Pre-K Orientation will be held on Wednesday, 9/4 (That is TOMORROW!) at McConnellsville Elementary School. Separate sessions are being held for AM and Full Day Students, and PM Students. See the graphic for times.
Renowned science educator Steve Spangler is up to address the staff at this morning's opening day program. Considering we've already had Mrs. Allen holding a leaf blower, and a whole bunch of toilet paper is now in the front row, we think it's off to a good start.
Staff beginning to file in for Opening Day!

If you use a child care provider for before or after school, and have not updated your transportation at any point this summer, please call 315-245-4096 as soon as possible to confirm the provider’s address for transportation purposes.
If you have updated your pick-up and drop-off points this summer, or you do not use a before or after school child care provider, you do not need to take any action.
The Camden Central School District is using a new routing system this year to provide enhanced information about routes such as times, and elevate the level of transportation services it is able to provide.
Drivers are currently test driving the preliminary runs to evaluate ride times. We have encountered some road closures and road work, and some last minute changes that have had some effect on routing. Transportation is working to resolve those issues and reduce ride times to the extent possible.
We anticipate that we can share a route update for the start of the year on Friday, 8/30.
