If you’re new to Camden Fairview School District, please go here for new student registration information. New students and 2025-2026 6th grade families, see below to learn more about CFMS!

• What are the hours of operation?
  • Our instructional day is from 8:00AM to 3:30PM. Breakfast begins at 7:20AM. Car-riders are dismissed at 3:30PM.
• How does the car line work at CFMS?
  • Please enter CFMS from Dooley Womack Drive and drive to the right. As drivers approach CFMS, 6th graders should be dropped off and picked up on the right side of the building (the side with the basketball goals). 7th and 8th graders should be dropped off on the other side of the building.
• When will my student receive their class schedule? Will they get to see their classrooms and meet their teachers before school starts?
  • The first day of school is July 30, 2025. CFMS will host an orientation night on Monday, Juy 28, 2025. 6th grade registration and schedule pickup will also be available from 8:30AM-3:00PM if families are unable to attend orientation. During orientation, students will receive their class schedule, meet their teachers, and see their classrooms. We will share the orientation  
• Is my child's homeroom teacher my main point of contact? How will I know what’s happening at school?
  • At CFMS, students have 7 class periods and are in each class the same amount of time. You are encouraged to contact any of your student's teachers with questions or concerns. Home Access Center (HAC) is also available to monitor your student's grades and may be accessed here. 

  • We also use ParentSquare to communicate with families. Learn more about how CFSD uses ParentSquare to help families stay connected to their child’s school community.

  • Keep your contact information current at all times. If your contact information changes, please share the updated information with our front office secretary. We use your cell phone number, home number, and email address to send ParentSquare notifications through text, email, and phone calls. The nurse and front office will also use those numbers if your child becomes ill at school.
