Planning a visit to the school?
We know that parents are the most important partner in supporting our academic success. We love it when you want to volunteer or join us for lunch.
Please make sure you contact your child's teacher before coming to visit the classroom as we want to make sure teachers can plan effective instructional time.
Please bring a photo ID. You will be asked to sign in each and every time that you visit the school. We cannot make an exception to this rule.
Lunch is a great time to plan a visit, ask your teacher or call the office if you need to know the schedule of when your child's class visits the cafeteria.
Birthday snacks can be brought in to be served for lunch or snack time. If you are unable to come at lunch or snack time, we will hold them in the office and deliver them at the correct time to minimize disruptions. Please check with your teacher first to find out about dietary restrictions and so they can plan the schedule accordingly.
Thank you for all you do to support Cameron Elementary and the success of all Cameron students!
