What a great week it’s been to be a Firebird here at Camelback!
Wow! What an extraordinary turnout for our first annual Polar Express Night! Camelback, you really came out and supported us, and we couldn't be happier about it! We hope everyone had a great time and you were all able to participate in the different activities, see Santa, get your free book and cocoa, avoid the Grinch and it even snowed! One week to go before Winter Break and please remind your children this does not mean we're done working. We are wrapping up the semester this week and we'll be taking a lot of assignments and updating the gradebooks across all of our classes. We're also diving into the data from our Interim Assessments last week and the initial results show we have some work to do. I'm sure you'll be hearing all about individualized plans and the work we need to do moving forward very soon. This week is our Winter Showcase event on Thursday evening and don't forget we have multiple early release days, so be sure to stay tuned for the calendar of events for this week. We can't wait to show off one of the Three A's - the Arts this week; I know our scholars and staff have been working hard to prepare and put together the final details!
We've been working on a few specific behaviors and safety reminders and we continue to need your assistance families. At AMS Camelback we're focused on the Firebird Code which clearly defines our school-wide expectations as Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe and Be a Learner. We want everyone practicing these all of the time. In order to continue to focus on learning; we're reminding all families to tell your child to keep their cell phones put away. We will provide all of the digital tools they will need during the day, they don't need their phones out and they should be left at home or stored in the backpacks. Please remember; no 3rd - 8th graders will be dismissed until 3:15pm, please do not come early and line up for them, we will not be dismissing them early.
If you're not already connected with your child's teacher(s) please reach out and get connected with Class Dojo or email and please be sure we have the most up-to-date phone number as well. We need to be working together and the best way to do so is to be connected.
We have so many great things happening every day here at Camelback, the most current information is always on our website, Facebook, Instagram, Class Dojo or in these autodialer messages. #WeAreCamelback
