Dear Camden Fairview Families:
Welcome to a new school year at Camden Fairview Middle School! Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning, we’re so glad you’re here. Our goal is to make sure every student feels supported, challenged, and inspired, and we know that happens best when schools and families work together.
Our handbook is here to help you find everything you need to know about our policies, expectations, and the great things happening in our schools. You can read the full handbook here:
CFMS 2025–26 Student Handbook. Here are a few important highlights for this year:
Introducing Soar and Score
This year, we’re excited to offer Soar & Score - a new incentive for strong performance on ATLAS assessments:
- ATLAS Interim & Summative Tests – If students score a Level 3 or Level 4 on any of the ATLAS Interims, they will earn a day off school as a reward for their hard work and achievement.
Another change for this year is that ALL students will take 9-weeks and semester tests in each class. These assessments help us measure progress, identify areas where students are excelling, and guide instruction to support every learner’s success.
