Due to the weather, there is potential for a rainy day dismissal.
Walkers & Bike Riders: For safety, all students who normally walk or ride bikes will need to be dismissed as car riders. Please plan to pick them up in the car line.
Potential Delays: Please expect our full dismissal to run a bit slower than usual as we work to keep everyone safe and dry.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and at Camden County Schools, we’re standing up, speaking out, and saying NO to bullying.
Every student deserves to feel safe, respected, and included in every classroom, hallway, and lunch table. Together, we can build a culture of kindness, empathy, and support.🩵
Let’s raise our voices, lift each other up, and STOP BULLYING before it starts.
