Principal's Message
Dear Parents,
PARP was a huge success! I hope you and your reading partner had a MAGICAL time reading together and will continue the reading momentum. The students loved all of their mystery reader videos. Thank you to all who participated.
Our Holiday concert, which was postponed, will take place on February 16th at 7:00PM at Brookside. We are excited to hear our chorus sing and our orchestra and band play their instruments. Students are looking forward to performing on stage!
Our next PTA meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 9th, at 7:30 pm. A lot of useful information is shared at these meetings about past events, current events, and future happenings here at Camp Avenue. I hope you can join us.
Sincerely,
Hillary Bromberg, Ed.D.

Did You Know we Have a Direct Absence Line?
Please be reminded that regular school attendance is not only mandated by law, but is a key ingredient for educational success. Legal reasons for absences include: illness, death in family, court appearances, and observance of religious holidays. If your child is frequently absent due to illness, you will be contacted and medical documentation may be requested. All other absences will be considered unexcused or truant.
Please also be aware that lateness to school can be considered partial truancy and is monitored as closely as absences. Chronic lateness is disruptive to the students in the class, the teacher, and most importantly, to the child. Parents and guardians are asked to contact the school to report each absence. This can be done by calling our Absentee Line at 516-379-3733. If you are requesting classwork and/or homework for your child on the day of the absence, please leave that message with the nurse or on the absence line. Parents are requested to submit a written and signed excuse note for each absence your child has, when they return to school.
