A new year has begun, and we are pleased to say the popular "Look at Me, I'm Three!" program is back for the 2025-26 school year! This program is a free monthly Pre-K prep program for students eligible to enroll in Pre-K for the 2026-2027 school year. To participate, a child must reach the age of three years old on or before December 1st, 2025.

The program starts at 5:30 PM and runs for approximately 45 minutes.

Contact our Family School Navigator and program director, Patti Ferretti, to reserve your spot for September's program, which will be held on Wednesday, September 24th. You can also contact her with questions at (315) 245-2616, Ext. 5200, or pferretti@camdencsd.org.

The "Let's Play" Two-Year-Old Program is also returning, with their first meeting set for October! More details to follow.

These opportunities are presented in partnership with Family School Navigation, formerly known as Ready 4 Kindergarten!

First Day of School
Staff, students, and families flocked to get a glimpse of the new year at last night's Open House events at Camden Elementary School and McConnellsville Elementary School! We saw bright smiles from our students as they saw their desk space for the year, and our families and staff wasted little to no time building relationships that will last throughout the year and beyond!
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!
