Whether tomorrow is your child's first day at CFMS or their last first day of middle school, we hope this year is filled with support, learning, growth, and plenty of fun. We'll be with every Cardinal for every step of the way!

Here are a few reminders to help everyone feel Ready for Day 1.

The first bell rings at 7:55 AM, and dismissal is at 3:30 PM. Please arrive on time and ready to learn!

During the 2026–2027 school year, all enrolled Camden Fairview pre-K–12 students will receive breakfast and lunch at no cost each school day. No meal application is required!

We’re also excited to share that all Camden Fairview employees will again receive free lunches.

Let’s work together to keep arrival and dismissal safe and smooth!

Enter CFMS from Dooley Womack Drive and stay to the right as you approach the building.

6th Grade: Drop-off and pickup are on the right side of the building near the basketball goals. Use the inside lane closest to the building. After pickup or drop-off, move to the outside lane behind CFMS and turn right to exit.

7th and 8th Grades: Stay in the passing lane until you reach the back of the building. Move into the inside lane and turn left at the stop sign for drop-off or pickup. Eighth graders should enter through the door closest to the gym, and seventh graders should use the second door.

The outside lanes are passing lanes only. Please do not drop off or pick up students in those lanes. Allow extra time and use caution as everyone becomes familiar with the routine.

We know the first few days can be an adjustment. Thank you for your patience and partnership as we start the year strong!

Several bus routes have changed for the new school year. First-day pickup and drop-off times may also vary, so please have students ready early and allow extra time.

Review the bus route changes here.

Personal electronic devices may not be used from the first bell through dismissal.

We believe that every student learns best in a focused environment. Thank you for partnering with Camden Fairview to support this commitment. Together, we are building a stronger and more engaged Cardinal community.
