Cameron Ranch Falcon Connection

Greetings Falcon Community,

As we enter the home stretch toward our final day of school on June 9, there is a sense of pride and momentum humming through our hallways. It is incredible to look back at the growth our students have achieved since the fall; that confidence and focus I noted last month has blossomed into a genuine sense of accomplishment. While the finish line is in sight, we are committed to making these final weeks count by keeping our students engaged, celebrated, and focused on finishing the year strong.

This "final push" is the perfect time to celebrate our shared successes while maintaining the routines that help our Falcons soar. One of our most anticipated traditions, Field Day, is happening on Monday, June 8. We would love your help to make it a success; please be on the lookout for a parent sign-up link to support our various activity stations. Your partnership remains the heartbeat of our school, and we thank you for your unwavering support as we count down to a well-deserved summer break!

Our Shared Community

This May, our students are exploring the heart of connection by focusing on empathy and the way our unique cultural foods bring us together. By celebrating the diverse experiences, abilities, and perspectives that make each person special, students will practice "walking in someone else's shoes" through active listening and intentional kindness. Through these classroom discussions and real-life examples, we aim to help students build stronger relationships and a deeper sense of mutual respect. To see the stories guiding our journey this month, please refer to the book titles featured on 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.
