Mr. Johnson's Back To School Night Message

Good Evening Cameron Families,

My name is Mr. Johnson and I am the school principal. Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year! We are so happy that you have joined  us  this evening making history for our first Virtual Back to School Night. Back to School Night is one of the most important events of the school year. You will be hearing some very important information tonight about what to expect in the classroom and what your child will be learning. As you know, we are in the virtual setting which is bringing on many challenges for all of us but as partners we will be able to conquer and survive as we continue to keep the students at the center and focus.

There are three areas we need to commit to as we continue to build a successful this school year.

Flexibility- There will be some bumps in the road but with a growth mindset, understanding and empathy we will support each other to get through this unprecedent time.

Communication-This is going to be key as we assume positive intentions and communicate consistently and regularly with each other. Also, please make sure that you have signed up for news you choose which goes out every Wednesday evening and connect to Cameron’s Facebook, PTA Facebook page and twitter account.

Team work- We are not going to be able to survive if we do not work in teams. Collaboration and trust are huge, and we need your help. One way that you can help us now is letting your child complete assessments from their teacher on their own. Productive struggle is good but also the information helps the teacher plan for your child. If you are prompting and assisting the data will be skewed. Please ask questions if you have any wonderings. Some of you are new to Cameron and in general with your first child attending school. Remember we are in this together to support each other during this journey.

I want to give our teachers and staff a huge shout out! They have been working very diligently planning and implementing strategies across the curriculum utilizing google meets and blackboard collaborate ultra.  In many situations, we are learning by doing in the virtual setting which is exciting but also can be stressful. However, the teachers are passionate about their work and constantly advocates for  students.

In closing just know that you are not alone, and we will support each other. Please let Mrs. Tkach, the Assistant Principal and I know what you need. We are committed to make sure our families and students have a successful school year.

Thank you,

Mr. Johnson, Principal
