Reminders:

CFMS Sneaker Ball is this Friday!

The CFMS Sneaker Ball will be on Friday March 14. The cost to attend is $10, and the last day to pay is March 13.

Yondr pouch reminders:

We appreciate the continued support of CFMS students, staff, and families as we enter our third full week using Yondr pouches to create a phone-free environment focused on learning!

If parents/guardians need to pick up their students' devices from the CFMS front office, please do so during school hours (7:55 AM - 3:30 PM). If you are unable to come to the school during these hours, please email Assistant Principal Laura Gordon at lgordon@cfcards.net for assistance.

This week, please help us remind students of the following:

All policies and disciplinary consequences are in effect.
They are responsible for keeping their pouch in good working condition and will pay the replacement cost for lost or damaged pouches.
Students should not bring headphones unless they are traveling to an athletic event or class field trip.
To allow students to move quickly through the morning arrival process, 7th and 8th graders will enter through separate doors each morning. 6th graders will use the same door they've used all year. 8th-graders will enter the door closest to the gym (by Ms. Dorris and Ms. Murray's rooms). 7th-graders will enter through the next door (Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Martin's rooms).

View all Yondr pouch information here.

Thank you!

Stay updated on your child's grades and attendance!

Remember you can monitor your child's grades and attendance using HAC.

CFMS Yearbooks are on sale now!

Order online here to purchase your yearbook today. Students may also grab a pull tab from one of the flyers in the hallway. Be sure to purchase a yearbook so that you don’t miss out on the yearbook signing lunch at the end of the school year!

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

At Camden Fairview, we believe that #AttendanceMatters and that absences are lost opportunities to learn in the classroom. Let's make the most of learning 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.

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.
