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.

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.

Join Connected Community Schools for the coolest event this side of the Cretaceous Period... Dino Crafts! It happens on Thursday at Camden Elementary School. As an added bonus, they will have their previously scheduled Fossil making activity, as they were unable to hold it today due to rain.
McConnellsville Elementary School is pleased to announce that once again, it will have the necessary supplies on hand for its students to start the 2024-25 school year and will not be issuing a typical building supply list. The provided school supplies are made possible through the fundraising efforts of the McConnellsville PTO, along with the generosity of the McConnellsville Elementary School community.
Please bring a backpack and water bottle to school on the first day. In the event a specific teacher needs additional items for class, they will let you know directly.
Thank you to the McConnellsville PTO for leading this effort on behalf of our students and families. Through the support of the school community year after year, opportunities like this one can be offered.
2024-25 supply lists for Camden Middle School and Camden Elementary School are available online now for your convenience, as well as in the free Camden CSD App.
https://www.camdenschools.org/page/school-supply-lists
Information for McConnellsville Elementary is coming very soon. Because of the diversity of student schedules and class needs, the High School does not maintain a central supply list.
Contact your child's school with any questions.
Open Hub Hours are TONIGHT (7/18) from 4 to 6 PM at CHS! The event is open to families in the District, and will include the opportunity to pick up some basic groceries/supplies at no cost to you.
