A note from the front office:
Please Use the Attendance Line (541-790-8822) for:
- Attendance
- Early pick-ups
- How your child is getting home if plans have changed
Do not use the front office number for attendance related concerns. Fabi WILL get the messages during the day, her phone has a blinking light and when it blinks she immediately checks the message. Again, Fabi WILL get the message, there’s no need for verbal confirmations - trust that she will get the message and appropriate actions will take place. Fielding phone calls for attendance can eat up a lot of time so thank you so much for supporting the front office by utilizing the tools at hand.
Attendance is recorded daily. When a child is late, they must check in at the office to get an admit slip before going to class. If your child will not be attending school, please call the attendance line, (541-790-8822) before 8:15 AM, please do not call the Camas Ridge Office for attendance. If a child is absent, and the school has not received notification of the absence, the auto-dialer will call at 9:30 AM notifying the parents/guardians of their child’s absence. Parental notification of an absence will help us to account for each child in an efficient and timely manner.
Una nota de la oficina principal:
Utilice la línea de asistencia (541-790-8822) para:
Asistencia
Recogidas tempranas
Cómo llegará su hijo a casa si los planes han cambiado
Fabi RECIBIRÁ los mensajes durante el día, su teléfono tiene una luz parpadeante y cuando parpadea, inmediatamente revisa el mensaje. Nuevamente, Fabi recibirá el mensaje, no hay necesidad de confirmaciones verbales; confíe en que recibirá el mensaje y se tomarán las medidas adecuadas. Responder llamadas telefónicas para solicitar asistencia puede consumir mucho tiempo, así que muchas gracias por apoyar a la oficina principal utilizando las herramientas disponibles.
La asistencia se registra diariamente. Cuando un niño llega tarde, debe registrarse en la oficina para obtener una hoja de admisión antes de ir a clase. Si su hijo no asistirá a la escuela, llame a la línea de asistencia (541-790-8822) antes de las 8:15 a. m., no llame a la oficina de Camas Ridge para asistir. Si un niño está ausente y la escuela no ha recibido notificación de la ausencia, el marcador automático llamará a las 9:30 a. m. para notificar a los padres/tutores sobre la ausencia de su hijo. La notificación a los padres de una ausencia nos ayudará a dar cuenta de cada niño de manera eficiente y oportuna.

Community Time Classes to Resume on October 21st!
We are excited to begin our Community Time classes this coming Monday, October 21st!
Community Time will occur from 1:50PM - 2:25PM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Students will be dismissed from their Community Time classroom at the end of the day. We are asking students in grades K-2 to check in with their homeroom teacher before going home with a parent or guardian.
What is Community Time?
This multi-aged class provides us a cohesive and communal way to explore our Camas Ridge Triangle of Values. Community Time classes are comprised of students in all grades. Kindergarteners start participating in a Community Time group mid-way through the year. We mix social-emotional learning with academics, providing a forum for multiple perspectives and ages to engage in learning together. From games, to writing, to discussions, to art, to experiments, to projects, to readings, we incorporate myriad activities to help foster a community with shared values. And although each class has a different feel to it, we all follow the same scope and sequence of Triangle Values learning.
Please note that due to staffing changes from last year to this year, some Community Time classes have been rearranged.

Veterans Day Honor Wall at Camas Ridge
Camas Ridge is bringing back the Veterans Day tradition we started last year to honor our school community's veterans with an honor wall. We ask that our students and staff submit photos of their loved ones/family that have served our country in the military, including their name and relationship to the Camas student and we will create a display (please feel free to include their military branch, tours of duty or other relevant information if you so wish).
Please fill out the form here to participate. Students can also bring copies of their photos to their classroom teacher. The Honor Wall will be created Friday November 1st and stay up for about a month at Camas Ridge. Please submit all photos by Wednesday, October 30th if possible!
