Greetings CAMS Families:
Black History Month Quote: “Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations.” – Dr. Mae Jemison
We need your help!
Our attendance rate is down and our chronic absenteeism is up. Research shows that student attendance is an important factor of student achievement.
To that end, help us help students achieve by sending them to school each day!
Our goal is to keep you informed and partner with you to raise student achievement.
Thank you, parents and guardians for all you do!
Remember how significant you are to your child’s success.

2. Adhere to all academic and behavioral expectations including daily class schedules and school procedures/policies.
3. Come to school, daily, on time, in uniform, and focused on being successful!

• Pencils and pens
6. Be present and on time for each class. Violation of this policy will result in detention and possibly suspension, if chronic.
7. Ensure cell phones, ear pods, and Apple watches are not heard or seen by anyone at any time while in school. All will be confiscated should there be a violation of this expectation.
8. Follow the dress code guidelines:
• Collard Tops and Sweaters: White, Yellow, Black
• Bottoms: Khaki, Navy, and Black

If a student is not in compliance with this policy, a parent/guardian will be asked to bring in appropriate clothing to school.
