We will be holding another FCC Affordable Connectivity Program sign-up night at Camden High School. Come on out to the CHS Library on Thursday, November 16th beginning at 5:30 PM to learn more about the program.
Under the Affordable Connectivity Program, parents/guardians of currently enrolled CCSD students are eligible to receive a monthly discount on their internet service of up to 30 dollars through a participating provider. They are eligible because we serve free meals to students under the Community Eligibility Provision. Numerous popular providers are included in this discount.
You may also be able to receive a one-time device purchase discount as part of this program. (Restrictions apply).
To register, you will need to bring some information with you, which is detailed in the attached flyer. That information will be used to provide you with an eligibility letter certifying that your student is enrolled with us that you can use to receive your discount.
We will have devices on site that you can use to register, or you can always take your eligibility letter home along with program information to sign up at your convenience.
Contact Lauren Platt (lplatt@camdencsd.org) if you have any questions.
Even if you don't have a student with us, you may still qualify under a variety of criteria. Visit getinternet.gov to see how you may qualify.
So far our school has raised $77.97 for Pennies for Puppies/Coins for Kitties! Our goal is $300! Keep sending in those coins!
The next meeting of "Look at Me, I'm Three!" will be held on Wednesday, November 15th! Contact Patti Ferretti to confirm attendance if you will be bringing your child this month. Remember, this free program is for students who are three years old, or will reach age three on or before December 1st, 2023.
McVille Families! Your student's missing item just might be in the lost and found right now! Contact Mrs. Williamson at the front desk if you're missing something.
That is one awesome box of crayons!
A great time was had by all during McConnellsville's Halloween Parade on Tuesday! We were thrilled to have another outstanding turnout in support of our students!
McVille families! It's that time again! The 3rd grade IFA reading group is hosting their "Pennies for Puppies and Coins for Kitties" fundraiser! All you have to do is send your spare change in with your student, and Mrs. Malenowski and her students will take care of getting the funds in the right hands. Proceeds will benefit the Paws for the Cause Rescue in Blossvale to help animals right in our backyard!
Mrs. Malenowski is your best person to contact with questions about this initiative.
Students in Mrs. Malenowski's 2nd grade Reading Group faced a STEM challenge today. They designed and built rafts to see how many pennies could be supported!
We were so honored to welcome children's author Daniel Jude Miller to McConnellsville earlier this week! Miller presented at both elementary schools in our district about authorship, illustration and design. He gave students some great starting points on how to explore authorship themselves, and showed them how with some household items, they can make a "monster" of their own as inspired by his "Monsters in Manhattan" series!
In preparation for the big day, students made monster pictures that were on display in the hallway. Daniel enjoyed them very much!
Last week in art class, Mrs. Hollis's class looked at artwork by George Seurat. 4th graders took inspiration from Seurat's dots to begin creating their own fall leaves out of different colored dots. Great job, 4th graders!
This week in art, Miss Beach’s class used chalk pastels to create glowing spooky scenes. Great job!
McConnellsville students and staff were glowing with their best orange outfits today! It's all part of an important cause called National Unity Day. Created by the National Bullying Prevention Center, Unity Day raises awareness and demonstrates a commitment toward creating a more positive school environment for all.

Remember to wear orange tomorrow! We are UNITED against bullying!!
Parents/Guardians: Did you know that if you have a child currently enrolled in the District, you are eligible to receive a discount on your monthly internet bill and more?
Join us at Camden Elementary School on the evening of Thursday, October 19th for an informational meeting and registration event for the FCC's Affordable Connectivity Program!
As a Community Eligibility Provision School District for food service, our parents/guardians are automatically eligible to receive a discount through a participating provider. Many popular providers are participating. The program arranges for participants to receive up to $30 off your monthly bill.
Lauren Platt is our coordinator for this event. If you have questions or are unable to make next week's event, reach out to her at lplatt@camdencsd.org and she can point you in the right direction to get started.
While next week's sign-up event is for parents/guardians, you may still be able to qualify for this program through a variety of other criteria, even if you don't have a student with us right now.
The FCC's Affordable Connectivity Program website can tell you more about eligibility criteria besides the Community Eligibility Provision, and give you an idea on how you can get started. The website for the program is located at: https://www.fcc.gov/acp
We have ourselves a special birthday at McConnellsville! Miss Barber's dog, Cannoli, is one year old today! She got permission to bring her four-legged friend in to celebrate with her fourth grade class today!
Happy birthday from all of us!
