Without a doubt, CMS is a much larger and more complex building than our Elementary Schools. To help our rising fifth graders understand their new home, the CMS "Movin On Up" orientation program is doing building tours, and a scavenger hunt on day two!

Some of the interior improvements at Camden Middle School are moving along! The area around the building's main entrance is being transformed with new office spaces for the CMS Social Workers, private meeting spaces, a new attendance office with secure entryway similar to what you may have already seen in our Elementary Schools, and a common workspace area for our teachers. We're looking forward to seeing it all in action very soon!

We only have a few days to start coming together as one fifth grade learning community at CMS. Some quick team games are a great way to get students working together, making friends, and building that united school community from two different elementary schools before they start their middle school journey!

A big part of the Middle School transition is getting your first locker, and in the CMS "Movin' On Up" Orientation program, time to find and practice opening your locker is a big part of the schedule on each day!

Connected Community Schools is hosting two parent information sessions about vaping and school year prep on Thursday, August 22nd, and Wednesday, August 28th. See the attached flyer for times, locations, and contact information.


Setting the tone with introductions and team-building activities. The CMS Movin On Up Orientation Program is off and running!

The CMS Class of 2028 has arrived for the 5th grade "Movin On Up" Orientation Program! Looking forward to two action-packed days! But first, breakfast!


When the CMS greenhouse is up and running, we'll be growing a lot more than just plants. We'll have another avenue to grow young minds through our Agriculture and FFA programming. Whether they want to become a farmer, florist, or scientist, or want to pursue gardening as a hobby, this building will equip them with a professional grade laboratory to learn and apply the skills they'll need to make it happen. We are hopeful for it to be operational sometime this fall.

If you haven't submitted permanent transportation changes to the registrar, today (8/19) is the deadline to do so for the first day of school. Reach out at rarchibee@camdencsd.org to do so, or if you have questions!
