Because every second counts! 90% attendance may sound good; however, it is the equivalent of missing half a day of school each week. At Camden Fairview, we believe that #AttendanceMatters and that absences are lost opportunities to learn in the classroom. Some absences are unavoidable, but it’s important that students are at school from bell-to-bell as often as possible. Beginning in kindergarten, regular attendance is often an indicator of higher academic performance. Students who are at #SchoolEveryDay also do better academically in middle school and are more likely to graduate high school. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Important links: ​ ​ ​ ​ Stay Connected: District News ​ ​ ​ ​ Lunch Menus ​ ​ ​ ​ Our Website ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Engagement and volunteer opportunities: ​ ​ ​ ​ Sign up now for PTO! ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Contact information: ​ ​ ​ ​ If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.

​ ​ Ivory Intermediate Weekly Updates November 4, 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Message from Mrs. Bever: ​ ​ ​ ​ Happy November! ​ November is a time intended for giving thanks. Please ask your child what they are doing to support this important character trait. How are they showing thankfulness and appreciation? I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for taking the time to read with your children, checking Thursday folders, communicating with your child's teachers, and the countless other things you do as a parent/guardian to encourage and support the education of your child. We are very fortunate to have a school community with a nurturing staff, happy students, and caring families. ​ ​ ​ ​ Attendance Matters! ​ ​ ​ ​ Let's Show Up Together This School Year. ​ Why is regular attendance important?
