From the Office of the Principal
Dear Parents:
October will soon be coming to an end. The beginning of November marks the end of our first quarter. Please review grades and academic progress with your students. Have them ask their teachers questions about their progress. Building relationships in school helps with student success.
In addition to checking in academic progress, please ask your students about their involvement in school activities. Our clubs are up and running with seasonal activities coming. Be sure your student is a well rounded member of the Camden Catholic community.
This week, we will have an Early Release day on Monday. Dismissal for students is at 1:50, and the teachers spend about 40 minutes at the end of the day in professional development teams. These days are on our calendar and bus transportation comes at 1:50. Our afternoon study hall is also open.
Finally, our Open House is just around the corner on October 29. Please tell your friends and neighbors what a great experience your student is having at CCHS. We know that you are our voice in the community and we appreciate your support.
Have a great week,
Heather Crisci
Principal
