Announcements & Reminders:

This week is an Early Out Wednesday.

On Wednesday, August 26, all CFSD schools will dismiss one hour early to allow our teachers additional time for professional development & collaboration. To see all the student holidays, staff PD days, and Early Out Wednesdays, check out the 2026-27 Calendar & Calendar Overview on the CFSD website!

Interested in volunteering at Camden Fairview?

Cardinal families and community members interested in volunteering in our schools are invited to attend one of two informational meetings:

  • Wednesday, August 26, at 2:45 PM
  • Friday, August 28, at 9:00 AM

Both meetings will be held at the Camden Fairview Central Office (625 Clifton Street). Learn more about the requirements and expectations for volunteering in our school buildings. These meetings are open to the public and will provide general information for volunteers across the district. Anyone interested in volunteering this school year should plan to attend one meeting.

Student Transportation for Sports:

  • Students who travel on Mrs. Elliott's bus to the high school for sports will unlock their phone pouch at the high school at the end of the school day.

  • Gymnastics student-athletes will remain at the middle school until further notice. They will report to the library for 7th period.

CFMS House Colors Wednesdays:

Please wear your house colors each Wednesday. 

We are starting the Domino’s Pizza Fundraiser!

The money raised will go towards student events including field day and dances!. 

Here is a video that will explain everything you need to know about the program! The Slice the Price Card: Fundraising Made Easy - Day 1

Let’s begin by checking out your school’s dashboard: https://dash.dominos.cards/55852

Scroll down to the section “Register to Pick Your Prize” or click here https://register.dominos.cards/55852. Once you register, your child will be able to pick their prize and share their very own store link! Once the fundraiser is complete, they will receive the prize they selected from the highest level they qualify for.  

After registering, share your child’s link via email, text, and social media! When a customer clicks on your link, it will take them directly to your child’s store to purchase a card, and we will send the card directly to them. Using your personalized link will ensure your child is given credit for the purchase.  

Also, once you register you will have two chances to earn a $50 gift card! The registered student with the most cards sold by 8/26/26 at 11:59 p.m. EST will win a $50 Gift Card (when our group sells at least 100 cards online). 

For questions, please call the hotline number: 866-252-6103  

Thank you for participating and supporting our school! 

School Hours:

Breakfast begins at 7:20 AM. Students should arrive to school by 7:45 AM to allow plenty of time to travel to class before the first bell rings at 7:55 AM. Please arrive on time and ready to learn!

Afternoon dismissal begins at 3:30 PM. Families, please remind your student to go to the appropriate location during afternoon car and bus dismissal. To ensure everyone leaves using the correct method home, students must all be in the right place.

Electronic Devices and Phone Pouches:

Any student who brings a phone or another electronic device to CFMS must bring their district-issued phone pouch each day. The CFMS Student Handbook outlines the following consequences for forgetting or misusing a pouch.
  • Initial warning: The device will be secured in the front office and may be retrieved by the student at the end of the school day.
  • First offense: The device will be confiscated and must be picked up by a parent or guardian.
  • Second offense: The student will receive one day of lunch detention, and the device must be picked up by a parent or guardian.
  • Subsequent offenses: A parent conference will be required, and the device must be picked up by a parent or guardian.

Thank you for helping your student arrive on time, prepared for class, and ready to learn!

We appreciate your support.
