Principal's Note

Dear Families

Thank you for working with us to make this challenging school year successful. We could not have done it alone, and your support has been invaluable. The students have worked extremely hard this year getting acclimated back to school. We are so proud of them, and they deserve this summer break to recharge. Please take this time as a family and enjoy. Continue creating memories and know that your Cameron family will be here waiting for you when school begins.

Summer School At Cameron ES

This summer Cameron Elementary School is hosting three summer opportunities for students: Bridge to K, Young Scholars and the SOAR summer program!

Students have been identified for these programs and registration forms have been sent home.  Bus transportation will be provided. More information will follow, bus stops can also be located in SIS. 

These summer experiences provides opportunities for students to enhance their skills through developing the FCPS Portrait of a Graduate attributes as an effective communicator, collaborator, critical and creative thinker, goal-directed, resilient and global & ethical citizen. Bridge to Kindergarten is designed to support students who have little or no preschool experience; with a successful transition into kindergarten by building executive functioning skills and routines. The Young Scholars (YS) program provides academic enrichment to students with high academic abilities from groups historically underserved in advanced academics. The SOAR program provides current K-6 students with the opportunities to strengthen core Mathematics and Language Arts skills by focusing on essential standards that will prepare students for success at the start of next school year.

More information will follow and you will be notified if your student has been placed on a waitlist if the selected program is full.

Dear Families

We are at the end of 2021-2022 school year. You have done a wonderful job supporting your child’s education. I though the fallowing webinar will help us, head of family, to navigate this wonderful world of parenting. See below a free webinar offered by FCPS to all families.

Today’s diverse society makes it difficult to describe a typical family situation or define what characteristics make a “perfect parent.” Culture, values, beliefs, emotional disposition, and the environment in which a person was raised all influence parenting techniques. In an effort to be perfect, new parents will frequently try too hard to protect their child from any adverse experiences or go to great lengths in an at-tempt to please their children. This type of well-intended “perfect parenting” can lead to unanticipated problems. I am suggesting this wonderful webinar that FCPS is offering for free to all FCPS Families. This workshop will address these problems and suggest ways to let go of perfection and seek a balanced parenting approach.

Webinar will be on: Tuesday, June 28, 2022

Time: 4 p.m.

Webinar Objectives

At the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Identify the myths associated with being a “perfect parent”
  • Identify the dangers associated with “helicopter” parenting
  • Describe the distinction between “perfect” and “good enough” parenting
  • Describe how “good enough” parenting fosters independence and self-confidence in children
  • Identify the factors which affect your parenting style
  • Recognize the impact of anxiety and competition on your parenting
  • Identify the relationship between your own childhood experiences and your present parenting style
  • Identify positive communication skills and conflict resolution techniques associated with effective parenting
  • Describe the use of “Positive Discipline”
  • Describe how “I message” impact communication
  • Identify the importance of appropriate role modeling
