Cameron Ranch Falcon Connection

Greetings Falcon Community,

As we move further into the school year, excitement is building with field trips starting this month for several classes! These experiences will provide wonderful opportunities for students to explore, learn outside the classroom, and create lasting memories. October is Bully Prevention Month, and our Student Council will be organizing spirit days to promote kindness and respect. They will also be helping to support our annual School Harvest Festival on October 31. Our Cameron Ranch community continues to be a supportive and inspiring place where students grow both academically and socially.

SOAR with us! Families First Friday

Please join us for Families First Friday on October 3, 2025, at 9:00 AM in the library. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect, learn about upcoming events, find ways to get involved, and meet other parents. Together, we soar!

Our Shared Community

During September, students will focus on the character trait of responsibility and its role in fostering a positive school culture. Students will also take part in our monthly community book series, celebrating the rich diversity that makes our learning community special. By exploring each student’s unique abilities in the classroom, we foster a more inclusive environment that enhances engagement and respect through recognizing and valuing individual backgrounds and experiences. For more details on the book titles, please see the bookshelf graphic below.

Arrival and Dismissal Reminders

Thank you, parents, for your patience and cooperation in the parking lots during arrival and dismissal. It's been a smooth start! A quick reminder: if you wish to get out of your car with your student, please use a parking stall or street parking rather than the drive-through lane, as stopping there can block traffic flow and cause delays. Also, the upper parking lot is reserved for school buses and families who have students with disabilities.
