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 |

Technology Assistance:
COMPUTERS: If your family needs help with technology, Cameron will be loaning Chromebooks and iPads. To be put on the list, you must contact your teacher. They will contact you for your scheduled pick-up time during the week of 4/13-4/17 or 4/20-4/24. There are a limited number of devices available, so we may not be able to do one for each child in the household.
