Our first few weeks of school were fabulous! Students have started to build friendships, understand school rules and procedures, and engage in meaningful academics. Learning is taking place across campus, and one of my favorite times of the day is walking into classrooms to connect with students and staff. It warms my heart to enter into peaceful spaces that support the love of learning and fosters student engagement. Cameron Ranch is such a special community.
Please join me for our Families First Friday gathering on 9/6/24 at 9:00 in library. Learn about campus events, discover ways to get involved, meet other parents and soar together! We hope to see you there!
We are seeking 5 parents to join our School Site Council this year. Your involvement matters! Please consider applying to be on our School Site Council. If you are interested, please complete this form by Friday, September 6, 2024. Our SSC meetings are a lot of fun and provide a space for families to share their voice and collaborate with other Cameron Ranch community members. Please consider! Thank you for getting involved and helping Cameron Ranch reach new heights!
September will be busy as we move into our first full month of learning. This month will begin our school-wide assemblies to build community and celebrate school-wide character traits, launch our school-wide clubs, and of course, begin our robust field trip program!
During the month of September, all students will continue to learn about citizenship across campus and have the opportunity to discover more about their place in the world by exploring our monthly book series on identity to celebrate our unique learning community. Teaching about student identities in the classroom fosters a more inclusive environment, enhancing engagement and respect by acknowledging and valuing each student's unique background and experiences.
Cameron Ranch is proud to offer various before and after school clubs to support student success. We've provided a list of fall clubs to chose from. Please register, as space is limited for many of our clubs due to space restrictions. Click the club name for more details and to register.
