Attendance Matters

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.

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.

Contact info

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. Classroom concerns should always be shared with your child's teacher first.

* AD/Head Coach Nick Vaughn has been in contact with PBHS throughout the week regarding the status of construction projects at Jordan Stadium and the possibility of moving the game to Simmons Field, as PBHS did last week, due to construction. We are aware that Pine Bluff School District (PBSD) received notice late on Wednesday, September 11, from the Pine Bluff Police Department (PBPD) about a possible threat directed to PBHS today, September 12. We appreciate the extra security measures that PBSD put in place immediately for PBHS. There will also be increased security at UAPB Simmons Field at Friday’s game, and our understanding is that there is no credible threat regarding the game. We will continue to communicate with PBSD regarding this issue and provide updates to our community as needed.

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.

CFHS Weekly Announcements

September 3 - 7

Announcements

Students, please should ensure you arrive at school early enough to go through the metal detectors and make it to class on time. It takes approximately 13 minutes to get from the front doors through the metal detectors going through two lines. Tardies are not excused because students are in line to go through the metal detector. Please make the adjustment to get here earlier.

Please remember that car riders should be dropped off and picked up at the CFHS front entrance. The rear entrances are only for bus riders, and there should be no cars behind the school during morning dropoff or afternoon dismissal.

The Jostens rep will meet with Seniors and Juniors on Monday, September 30, in the Little Theatre. The rep will be back on October 4 to collect orders.

CFHS Madrigal Auditions are on Friday in the Choir Room.

Just a reminder that tomorrow, September 4, is an Early Out Wednesday.

Some absences are unavoidable, but it’s important that students are at school from bell-to-bell as often as possible.

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.

Tardies. After giving students time to learn the building and their class locations, we have started counting tardies. Please encourage your child to be mindful of being on time in the mornings and getting to class on time every period.

Absences. This year, we want to create a stronger partnership with families as we work together to monitor attendance. CFSD is using ParentSquare’s attendance notification feature. This feature allows us to automatically alert parents/guardians when their child is absent. Families will receive a student-specific notification at the end of each day when a student is absent. Our goal is to make sure you are aware of your child's absences, and the notice will include a contact number if you have any questions or concerns about an absence.

All students are expected to be on their best behavior and follow all school policies, including the dress code, while attending school events. Students will be banned from after school activities if they are involved in any fights, disrespectful towards administration or any school personnel, or if any prohibited items are found on them or in their vehicles during an event.

6-12 grade students will have 20 minutes after school activities end to leave campus. Students should notify parents ahead of time to let them know what time the activity will end. Announcements are made prior to the activity ending to remind students to contact parents.

We appreciate your support and look forward to cheering on all Cardinal student-athletes together!
