Conference Book Fair
The Scholastic Book Fair will be held Monday 11/21 and Tuesday 11/22 at the Camanche Middle School media center.
This year we will be open for students who would like to purchase during the school day! Middle school students can use cash or cards when purchasing. However, if you're not comfortable sending money to school with your child for this purpose, Scholastic has created a feature which allows you to load an electronic wallet with any amount you choose. Students can then spend from this account at the book fair during the school day. Please visit
https://www.scholastic.com/bf/camanchemiddleschool1
to set up an e-Wallet for your child. Or use the link to shop from home and order online! We'll deliver the books to your child when they arrive.
Our book fair will also be open to the public during conference times on these days. (1:30 - 7:00pm) Hope to see you there!
Thank you so much!

Conferences-7th/8th
7th & 8th Grade Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
Our fall parent/teacher conference is almost here! We are looking forward to speaking with you about your child and their progress that has been made so far this year. Fall conferences are scheduled for Monday, November 21 and Tuesday, November 22 from 2:00 -7:30 pm with dinner break from 5:00 to 6:00pm.
As a 7/8 grade team, we encourage you to sign up for a time slot with any of your child's core teachers. This year, we will be using Sign-up Genius as a digital platform to reserve your time slot. We will still be taking walk-ins for conferences but prefer that you take the time to reserve your spot. Exploratory teachers will just be doing walk-ins and will not be scheduling conferences.
Here is the link to sign-up for 7/8 Grade Fall Conferences:
