​Cameron Remote Learning
Continues for  Quarter 2

Picture
Picture
Dear Cameron Families,

We are so excited to start the school year!  All CPS schools will start the year with Remote Learning.  Remote Learning will be improved this year:

1) Teachers will work with students every single day.  There will be set schedules.
2) All students should get a Chromebook or iPad.
3) If families need help with internet access, we can help you get connected.
4) All students will have to participate.  Teachers will be there to help every step of the way, but all grades will count!


Remote Learning will be a challenge, but Cameron Teachers have worked extremely hard to make things as smooth as possible!

If you have not connected with your teachers yet, please email Principal Harden at Cameron609835@cps.edu or text him at 312-883-1379.

Join the Cameron Message System by texting @camarts to 81010.  We will use this system to communicate with parents.  


We are in this together, and there is nothing our students can't accomplish with our support!  Please be safe!  We love you all!

Sincerely,

S. Harden
Estimadas familias de Cameron,

¡Estamos muy emocionados de comenzar el año escolar! Todas las escuelas de CPS comenzarán el año con aprendizaje remoto. El aprendizaje remoto se mejorará este año:

1) Los maestros trabajarán con los estudiantes todos los días. Habrá horarios establecidos.
2) Todos los estudiantes deben obtener una Chromebook o iPad.
3) Si las familias necesitan ayuda con el acceso a Internet, podemos ayudarlo a conectarse.
4) Todos los estudiantes deberán participar. Los maestros estarán allí para ayudar en cada paso del camino, ¡pero todas las calificaciones contarán!


El aprendizaje remoto será un desafío, pero los maestros de Cameron han trabajado muy duro para hacer que las cosas sean lo más fluidas posible.

Si aún no se ha conectado con sus maestros, envíe un correo electrónico al director Harden a Cameron609835@cps.edu o envíele un mensaje de texto al 312-883-1379.

Únase al sistema de mensajes de Cameron enviando un mensaje de texto a @camarts al 81010. Usaremos este sistema para comunicarnos con los padres.

¡Estamos juntos en esto y no hay nada que nuestros estudiantes no puedan lograr con nuestro apoyo! ¡Por favor, ten cuidado! ¡Los queremos a todos!

Sinceramente,

S. Harden



Congratulations to our amazing Class of 2020!!!
