Parent Conferences

Parent Conferences will be held on November 6th and November 14th from 3:15 - 6:30 p.m. at the Middle School.  To schedule a conference, contact your child's teacher by email or call the middle school at 472-6505 and use the voicemail directory to leave a message for the teacher(s) you would like to schedule a conference with.  You may request a conference at any time, but these days are set aside for this purpose, so I encourage you to attend if possible.

Report Cards

Today is the end of the first marking period.  Report cards will be sent home with students this Friday, so please look for them when your child comes home on Friday.

Homeless Awareness Week

To Central Cambria Parents and Students:   
   
Did you know now that the average age of a homeless person is nine years old? Many students become homeless for various reasons; fire, flood, domestic violence, or loss of income for the family.  Students are homeless by living in shelters, cars, campers/tents and even living with family or friends due to lack of housing.

The Education for Children and Youth Experiencing Homelessness Program in Pennsylvania is a state funded organization which provides support to our children that become homeless.  If you would like to help your fellow classmates, and many others that are experiencing homelessness, you can bring in items (which are listed on the back of this page) during the week of October 28- November 1, 2013.  On November 1, to show our support to our friends in need, we are asking everyone to wear a Blue Shirt to school that day.
Thank you for your support!!
