Thank You Camelot Community!

Thank you very much for your support during Staff Appreciation Week. We are grateful for your generosity and kindness.  We loved the chalked walk greeting on Monday morning, followed by a delicious lunch.  We appreciated the flowers and notes, and the morning coffee and treats. We enjoyed the daily raffles, and the generous gift cards, too!  Thank you, Camelot PTA, for leading the way with this recognition.  You made our week!  


K-6 Early Release Wednesday on May 13 

Our last Early Release Wednesday is May 13.  On this day, the school day ends at 12:50pm for K-6 students.  (PreK has a regular Wednesday schedule.)  Most students will depart school or go to SACC at 12:50pm on this day, but we do offer supervision to families who need it until 3:50pm.  Buses are available at both 12:50pm and 3:50pm.  We will use the Early Release plan that you selected for your child last time.  If you would like to confirm or change your child’s plan, please use this form or call the school office (703) 645-7000.
