Attendance Matters! Let's Show Up Together This School Year.

At Camden Fairview, we believe that #AttendanceMatters and that absences are lost opportunities to learn in the classroom. Let's start the year off right - at school every day possible! Some absences are unavoidable, but it’s important that students are at school from bell-to-bell as often as possible.

Beginning in kindergarten, regular attendance is often an indicator of higher academic performance. Students who are at #SchoolEveryDay also do better academically in middle school and are more likely to graduate high school.

CKH Introduction

During September, we’re focusing on empathy and challenging students to make sure that everyone they interact with feels seen, heard, and valued. We are partnering with you to grow and develop empathy in your student at home.

Update regarding yesterday’s bus incident

Posted Date: 9/05/24 (12:30 PM)

View Original Post

Update regarding yesterday’s bus incident:

The bus incident occurred at approximately 2:48PM on September 4. CFSD administrators learned of the incident at approximately 3:15PM, and we immediately began investigating. Student safety is always our top priority, and we have conducted a thorough review of yesterday’s incident to ensure we are doing all we can to keep students safe. Based on our investigation, we believe that the incident was caused by a bus striking a small object or curb as it turned at Grinstead and Adams Streets. A review of the bus’s video camera footage did not show any apparent injuries to any of the students on the bus.

There is minor damage to the rear passenger side of the bus. The video footage confirms that bus passengers experienced a bounce consistent with striking a curb but did not fall from their seats or hit the windows or ceiling.

When questioned by CFSD about the incident, the bus driver stated that he believed he hit a curb, and the video footage confirms that he continued the route as usual. A regular bus stop is located very near the incident location. A group of students exited the bus at the bus stop, and the bus resumed its route.

CFSD personnel spoke with family members of several students from the bus who chose to have their children evaluated at OCMC. We have spoken with other families today to answer questions and address the concerns those families are understandably feeling after hearing news of an incident on their child’s bus. We also know that information can take on a life of its own as it travels through the community. Our goal is to ensure proper safety procedures were followed and to provide accurate information in a timely manner to families and our community.

Thank you.

Update from CFSD.

Good evening. We are investigating the incident that happened this afternoon near the intersection of Grinstead and Adams involving a Camden Fairview school bus. From the information we have gathered so far, all students are now with their families and there is minor damage to the bus. The safety of our students is our top priority. We are cooperating with local law enforcement and will continue conducting our own district investigation. Thank you.
