INCLEMENT WEATHER NOTICE

Dear Parents,
During inclement weather, the Camino School District will notify all parents of snow day or any bus stop changes, 
through automated phone calls and Parent Square.
Additionally, we will request that local television and radio stations share these updates with their
audiences.
On days when a storm hits too late to adjust bell schedules, school buses will still run their routes as
safely as possible. However, due to road conditions, buses may operate at slower speeds.
For your child’s safety, we understand that it is ultimately your decision whether to allow them to ride
the bus to school or how long to wait at the bus stop.
If you have recently updated your phone number(s) or email address, please notify the school office as
soon as possible. Keeping your contact information up to date ensures you receive our automated calls
and important notifications.

READY, SET, CAASPP!

The students of Camino Union Elementary School District have begun our annual California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) testing. CAASPP testing is administered to students annually to evaluate academic progress and performance in grades third through eighth. It provides valuable data to evaluate the effectiveness of our curriculum, identifies areas needing improvement, and ensures that students meet state standards.

CAASPP testing has begun in our district, and will continue after Spring Break.  We encourage all our parents, guardians, and families to recognize its significance in evaluating our district and students while promoting accountability and identifying achievement gaps. By leveraging the insights gained from CAASPP testing, we can continue to strive towards providing high-quality education for all students and ensuring they are prepared for future success.

As a parent/guardian, you play a crucial role in supporting your child’s academic success, including preparing for the CAASPP test. Here are some ways you can help your child do well and ease testing anxiety:

• Ensure your child attends school and arrives on time. 

• Make sure your child gets to bed at an early time and gets a good night’s sleep.

• Feed your child a healthy breakfast before dropping them off at school or if they participate in morning breakfast, make sure they arrive on time.

• Encourage your child to do their best and remind them that their test performance does not solely determine their academic progress.

We encourage all our students to do their best during the testing period and remember that they got this!  We also thank you for making Camino such a unique and special place to learn.

Jason Sabbagh, Assistant Principal

STUDENT PLACEMENT NEEDS FORM 
FOR 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR
The purpose of this form is to give parents the opportunity to share insights regarding their child's learning needs for next year. If you wish to complete this form, please provide information about your child's needs, not a specific teacher's name.  This information will be shared with staff as we determine class configurations. Our goal is to create balanced and positive classroom environment that will ensure success for all students. The final placement decision will rest with the school. 
Please turn in at the school office by Friday, April 25th.
Thank you,
