This week, Mrs. Sova’s Pre-Kindergarten class at Woodbine Elementary explored the five senses. Students engaged their sense of touch by experiencing a variety of textures, including sandpaper, bubble wrap, sand, silly string, and water. Additionally, they used all five senses during a hands-on science experiment with Pop Rocks, observing, tasting, listening, touching, and smelling the reaction.
Mrs. Wheater's 4th grade students have been studying a unit on light, heat, and electricity. Today after reviewing safety measures to use with electricity, they learned about circuits, positive and negative poles on batteries, and built their own flashlights! An electrifying time was had by all!

School safety remains our highest priority. Families, we need your partnership in reminding and educating your children about the seriousness of making threats. What may seem like an innocent prank, or simply something said out of anger or frustration, can carry very serious consequences. Every threat, whether real or fake, demands an immediate law enforcement response, disrupts learning, and can result in life-changing legal prosecution.
We take EVERY threat seriously and will continue working closely with the St. Marys Police Department, Kingsland Police Department, and the Camden County Sheriff’s Office to ensure swift and decisive responses to all threats.
The safety of our students and staff will always be our top priority. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Protecting with Purpose,
Chief Kizzi Knight

Dear Camden Families,
As we kick off the new school year, please note that our transportation schedule may need some adjustments during the first week of school.
What to expect:
• Buses may experience delays as routes are optimized
• Phone lines are experiencing high volume - thank you for your patience
• Route changes will be addressed once all student schedules are finalized
• Additional route adjustments may be needed to address overcrowding
• Schools may hold students inside during unsafe weather conditions
We appreciate your understanding as our transportation team works diligently to ensure the safe and efficient transport of all students to and from school.
Your patience during this transition period helps us provide the best service for our school community!

If you are not seeing a bus route for your child in the My Ride K-12 app, please log in to Infinite Campus to verify that the Transportation question was completed during your child’s registration.
We’ve found that many parents unintentionally skipped this step, which prevents the bus route from being assigned and displayed in the app.
Once you have confirmed that the Transportation question has been completed, please allow 24 hours during the work week before checking the My Ride K-12 app. If your child’s bus route still isn’t showing after that time, please contact the Transportation Department at (912) 729-8374 for assistance.
Thank you for helping us ensure a smooth start to the school year!
As the new school year approaches, take a look at these supply lists for each grade level. We truly appreciate your efforts in sending supplies with your children as we prepare for an exciting year ahead.
