Reminders and Announcements:
George Ivory
Happy Black History Month!
We’re celebrating Black History Month by highlighting African-Americans at the local, state, and national levels who have blazed trails, widened paths, and inspired the next generation.

George S. Ivory, Sr. (1910-1998) was an educator who devoted forty years to public education in Arkansas. He was the Lincoln High School principal for nine years and the Camden Junior High Principal for five years. Ivory Intermediate School, formerly known as Ivory Primary School, was named in honor of Mr. Ivory and his positive impact on Camden’s students. Today, the educators at Ivory Intermediate remain committed to carrying out his educational philosophy: “There isn’t a child that can’t be reached. Children need love and understanding.” 

Carter G. Woodson is known as the Father of Black History Month. He was a scholar whose dedication to celebrating the historical contributions of Black people led to the establishment of Black History Month, marked every February since 1976. Learn more: https://guides.loc.gov/black-history-month-legal-resources/history-and-overview

​​Important reminders for all CFSD events ​ ​
All students are expected to be on their best behavior and follow all school policies, including the dress code, while attending school events. Students will be banned from after school activities if they are involved in any fights, disrespectful towards administration or any school personnel, or if any prohibited items are found on them or in their vehicles during an event.

6-12 grade students will have 20 minutes after school activities end to leave campus. Students should notify parents ahead of time to let them know what time the activity will end. Announcements are made prior to the activity ending to remind students to contact parents.

We appreciate your support and look forward to cheering on all Cardinal student-athletes together!
 
attendance matters
Attendance Matters! Let's Show Up Together This School Year.
At Camden Fairview, we believe that #AttendanceMatters and that absences are lost opportunities to learn in the classroom. Let's work together to make sure students are at school every day possible! Some absences are unavoidable, but it’s important that students are at school from bell-to-bell as often as possible.

Beginning in kindergarten, regular attendance is often an indicator of higher academic performance. Students who are at #SchoolEveryDay also do better academically in middle school and are more likely to graduate high school.
