As we observe National School Bus Safety Week, we want to remind everyone in our community to take a few extra moments to help protect our students as they travel to and from school each day.
The morning and afternoon commutes are some of the busiest times on our roads, and a little extra patience and attention go a long way!
🚗 For Drivers:
Stop for school buses when the stop arm is extended and red lights flash.
Obey all posted school zone speed limits.
Never pass a stopped school bus from either direction when required by law.
Stay alert for students near roadways, bus stops, and crosswalks.
🎒 For Parents & Students:
Arrive at the bus stop a few minutes early and wait a safe distance from the road.
Cross only when instructed by the driver, and always look left, right, and left again.
Use designated crosswalks and never cross behind a school bus.
Put phones and headphones away while walking to stay aware of surroundings.
Thank you for doing your part to ensure every student arrives safely and returns home with a smile!

Keeping our students safe starts with staying informed and maintaining open communication! We encourage parents and guardians to regularly check in with their children about:
📧 School Email: Review school communications to stay informed about important updates and announcements.
🌐 Social Media: Stay aware of the platforms your child uses, the content they encounter, and emerging online trends and challenges that may encourage unsafe behaviors.
⚕️ Medication Safety: Keep prescription and over-the-counter medications securely stored and remind children of the dangers of experimenting with medications.
🗣️ Open Communication: Encourage conversations about online safety, peer pressure, and making responsible decisions. Remind children they can always turn to a trusted adult with questions or concerns.
🛡️ Stay Informed with Parent ProTech!
Camden County Schools provides families with access to Parent ProTech, a valuable resource offering information about social media platforms, online trends, digital safety concerns, and tools to help parents navigate their children’s digital world.
We encourage families to explore Parent ProTech regularly to stay informed and help their children make safe, responsible choices. Sign up here: https://app.parentprotech.com/929/camden-county/en/signup
Together, we can keep our students informed, protected, and empowered in the digital world.

Last week, Ms. Bateson’s Pre-K class had some very special guests! Local heroes from Kingsland Fire & Rescue stopped by to teach our littlest learners all about fire safety.
Our students had a blast learning how to:
🔥 Stop, Drop, and Roll
📞 Know when and how to call 911
👨🚒 See what firefighters look like in full protective gear so they never feel scared in an emergency
A massive thank you to Kingsland Fire & Rescue for taking the time to keep our community safe and inspire our future firefighters! 🧑🚒❤️

Our Pre-K students rolled up their sleeves for a fun, hands-on experiment this week to answer a big question: How do we keep apples from turning brown?
The children placed apple slices into various liquids—including lemon juice, soda, and water—to test their hypotheses. The next day, they gathered around to observe, compare, and record their findings!
It was amazing to watch their observation skills in action as they discovered which liquids protect the apples best (hint: vitamin C is a powerhouse!). Early STEM learning has never been so sweet or colorful. 🍏✨









📆 Reminder for Camden County Families!
Schools will be closed Friday, October 9, for a scheduled Teacher Workday/Professional Learning Day and Monday, October 12, in observance of Columbus Day.
We look forward to welcoming students back to schools on Tuesday, October 13!
We hope everyone enjoys a wonderful long weekend!
