What a great week it’s been to be a Firebird here at Camelback!
I hope everyone has had a well deserved and rested Fall Break this past week. We've been able to get a lot of work done at the school as we prepare for close of the calendar year. We have a lot planned between now and the end of Quarter 2 in December. It starts this week with our Fall Spirit Week & Book Fair!
- Monday - Sports Day - Show your support for your favorite team!
- Tuesday - Superhero Day: DC vs. Marvel - Who will prevail?
- Wednesday - Disney Day - Which Disney character are you?
- Thursday - Tropic Like It's Hot - Hawaiian Day!
- Friday - Character Counts - Dress Like Your Favorite Character from any book!
Please know after this week we will not be dressing up, this includes Monday 10/31, this will be a uniform day at school. We're going all in this week so we can end the week with our first annual Monster Mash Family Dance on Friday 10/28 from 5:30 - 7:30pm in the gym. We're hoping for a big turnout for this free family fun event for all ages. DJ E will be spinning the hits and we'll have a lot of fun with costume contests for all ages and we encourage the whole family to dress up. Please know, this is not a drop-off event, all scholars must be accompanied by an adult. This will be a great event for the whole family and we can't wait to celebrate the season with you.
We also have a few safety reminders for everyone; here 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. Also, as a reminder, our school day ends at 3:15pm. This means learning will continue for all students until 3:15pm, with the changes we instituted this past week to arrival and dismissal, some of our scholars are still getting used to working until 3:15pm, please remind your child of this expectation. Also, 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
