Attendance Matters — Every Day Counts! Attendance Calls Start This Week.

Dear Cardinal Families:

Research shows a strong connection between student attendance and academic achievement, and it starts early - even in preschool and kindergarten. When students attend school regularly, they build stronger learning habits, develop friendships, and stay connected to their teachers and classmates.

Thank you for helping your child show up every day possible to keep learning and engaged! We truly appreciate your partnership and commitment to our school community.

This year, we’re working to build an even stronger home-school partnership to support student attendance. This week, Camden Fairview will begin testing ParentSquare’s attendance notification feature.

Here’s what you can expect:

Families will receive an automatic alert when a student is marked absent.
Notifications will be sent by text, email, or phone call at the end of each day a student is absent.
You’ll also receive an invitation to activate your ParentSquare account if you haven’t already.

As long as your student is healthy, please encourage them to attend school every day that classes are in session. Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn, connect, and grow.

If you ever have questions or concerns about your child’s attendance, please reach out to your school’s principal or counselor - we’re here to help! Thank you for supporting your child and Camden Fairview.

Transportation Update — Giraffe Bus

Posted Date: 10/03/25 (4:10 PM)

View Original Post

This afternoon, the Giraffe Bus had smoke coming from under the bus during its afternoon route. The driver immediately stopped the bus, evacuated students to a safe area, and contacted the CFSD Transportation Department. A replacement bus arrived, and students reloaded safely to continue home.

The regular Giraffe route finished on approximately a 15-20 minute delay. There were no injuries.

Our mechanics will inspect the bus and make any necessary repairs before it is cleared to return to service.

Thank you.

CFMS Update #5

Posted Date: 10/01/25 (11:44 AM)

View Original Post

Dear Camden Fairview Families:

The safety of our students, staff, and families remains our highest priority. At a September 30 special board meeting, student expulsion hearings were held and Interim Superintendent Tara Armstrong shared a series of district-wide safety enhancements, including clear/mesh backpacks at CFHS and CFMS, additional CFMS staff at arrival, updated crisis response training, additional security and weapon detection equipment, and the launch of an improved anonymous tip line.

At the October 21 regular board meeting, the Board will consider a proposed recommendation to require that all students at CFHS and CFMS use a clear or mesh backpack during the school day. This change will help staff conduct more efficient and thorough backpack checks each morning. Exceptions will be allowed for athletic bags and small purses, with guidelines to balance convenience and safety. To support families and ease the transition, the district will purchase and provide one clear or mesh backpack for every secondary student. The Board will vote on the proposal October 21, and if approved, it will go into effect the following Monday.

We know families may still have questions. While some details cannot be shared because of privacy and safety protocols, we are committed to being as transparent as possible. If you have a question, please submit it using the CFSD Safety Procedures – Questions Form. District leaders will review all questions and provide as much information as possible.

Mrs. Armstrong and other administrators have also spoken with many families over the past week and welcome any CFSD family to call the Central Office or set up a time to meet in person.
