The Camden CSD is on a 2-hour delay today, Wednesday, January 7, 2026, to allow more time for our roads and parking lots to be cleared. Our morning BOCES and morning Pre-Kindergarten classes are canceled for today.
In January, the "Let's Play" two-year-old program will once again have two sessions, to be held on Wednesday, January 14th, and Thursday, January 15th. Each session will begin at 10 AM.
Offered in partnership with Family School Navigation (Formerly Ready 4 Kindergarten), the “Let’s Play” program is a free monthly program for two-year-olds and their families. It consists of a monthly one-hour block of play-based learning and socialization with parent/guardian involvement. It is offered with the aim of progressing into the “Look at Me, I’m Three!” program for the following year, and creating a two year skill development on-ramp into Pre-K programming.
To be eligible for this program, a student must reside in the Camden Central School District, and must have reached the age of two on or before December 1st, 2025.
RSVPs are required each month. Spots are limited, and will be on a first-contact, first-serve basis. Early RSVPs are also more likely to get their preferred day to attend. To reserve your spot, or if you have questions, contact our Family School Navigator, Patti Ferretti, at 315-245-2616, extension 5200, or at pferretti@camdencsd.org.

The therapy dog team of CMS could not miss out on pajama day this past week! Oaklyn and Ozzy were ready to spread some cheer on their last day before they miss their kids for 2 weeks!
Two decades of tradition continued for teacher Sherri Noyes and her students as they completed their annual Gingerbread Village activity this week! After building a village of their very own, they visited the Turning Stone Resort to see how the pros do it for their annual display. They met the Grinch, and Buddy the Elf in their travels!
Yesterday, Mrs. Libertella's MVCC Chemistry Class took a trip to Mohawk Valley Community College for some laboratory time!
Students utilized the atomic absorption spectrophotometer testing standard solution samples and an unknown silver solution to determine the percent silver in a sample. In addition, students had the opportunity to tie dye a lab coat. They also saw demonstrations with very strong magnets, looked at biochemistry specimens, and more.
A very special thank you to MVCC for hosting our students, particularly the three science faculty members who took time out of their day to work with our group. We have an amazing partnership with MVCC - a partnership that we are constantly looking to strengthen here in the Camden Central School District.

The holiday cheer almost went through the roof today at today's Camden Elementary School Holiday Assembly! The school community gathered for an amazing interactive reading of The Polar Express, including receiving their very own bell like in the book and accompanying film! They also received a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, sang some carols, and received a free T-Shirt with some help from Santa and our amazing Camden Elementary School PTO!
Twas the week before Christmas in Miss Archibee's ceramics, three snow days in the way set in a panic. Yet with clay-covered hands and determination so strong, the students worked undeterred, finishing trees all week long!
The CES Intervention Team is dressed to the nines for today's assembly!
All Aboard! Our CES Holiday Assembly is about to begin, and this year features a Polar Express theme!
We don't know if there'll be snow.... but have a cup of cheer!
Students in 8th grade agriculture designed and spread "cups of joy" to CMS staff last week! Each group of students got to choose an educator in the building to surprise with a floral arrangement and a sweet note! The flowers were donated from local funeral homes and the supplies used to create the floral arrangements came from a grant provided by the Tuthill foundation.
The students were beyond excited to spread joy and create some beautiful floral masterpieces!
