After-School Programming

Begins this Week

Good Afternoon C-F Families,

We are happy to announce the start of free after-school programming for any and all students in grades K-12 beginning this week and running through December 16. After-school instruction will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:00 to 4:20 pm. A snack will be provided, too.

Students are not required to attend every day of the program and can begin and end participation at any time. Parents must pre-register their children, however.

This is a great opportunity for students to build their skills, reinforce what they've already learned or get extra help in the areas of greatest need. The program will be staffed by certified elementary and secondary teachers.

We are not offering transportation and all students must be picked up in the elementary circle drive each day no later than 4:30 pm.

We encourage all parents and guardians to consider this resource as we work hard to make up for the time lost to the pandemic. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us here.

Thank you,

Kevin

Closure Planning:

Extra Help & Credit Recovery

If we close to in-person instruction, any students in need of extra academic help or those failing classes will be able to come to school for in-person assistance. Learn more below. If this is necessary, we will contact eligible students and parents.

Closure Planning:

HotSpots Available

Internet hotspots are now available to CF families that need them at no cost. If you do not have a cell signal in your home, the hotspot will not work. To obtain one for your family, please visit the elementary or secondary office depending on your child's grade.

Coming Soon:

Fog and Snow!

As the fall days come and go, we're getting closer and closer to fog and snow. Please make sure you have a childcare plan in place in case we have an unseasonably early fog delay (2 hours) or snow day. All delays are announced on Facebook, our website, direct email and a robocall. We try to make these decisions are early as possible generally no later than 5:30 am.

Reading is Fun:

Michigan's Read by Grade 3 Law

Michigan's Read by Grade 3 law states that any student not reading at their grade level by the end of 3rd grade must be held back with parental consent. Our school website offers resources to keep parents, families, and guardians informed about this important new literacy law. Visit www.camdenfrontier.org/toolbox to find these resources. The "Facts for Families" link will explain the Read by Grade 3 law and requirements. The "Read at Home Plan" offers parents many literacy ideas and websites that can be used at home for practice. The "Support Reading and Writing at Home" gives simple, yet great suggestions of how to help your child at home.

Reading at home with your child is a great way to support their literacy education. We encourage you to partner with us at C-F to make sure every student can read by grade 3 and beyond.

Social & Emotional Health:

Visit Our Counseling Page

The C-F counseling page is loaded with helpful information for students and parents ranging from help coping with stress to scheduling an appointment with a counselor to completing the financial aid form for college. Our counselors - Carmen Hughes and Sharon Turnbull - are ready to help with your child's social, emotional and academic needs. Learn more here.
