Principal's Greeting
As the use of vapes is on the rise among school age children nationwide, we here at Camp Road feel that it is important to educate our students and our parents about the dangers of these products. And also, to provide both students and parents with strategies to talk about these things.
This group will talk to our students during the day on Thursday, February 16. For parents that do not wish for their children to participate in the presentation, please fill out and return this opt out form to your child's homeroom teacher by Tuesday, February 14.
We will also host a parent workshop on Thursday, February 16 from 6-7pm in the Camp Road Middle School Cafeteria. This should be an interesting and informative opportunity for parents, and we hope that many of you can participate.
Ms. Rowehl
