Greetings!
We welcome our newest student and our newest faculty member to our Camelot family. Welcome Logan Faulkner and family to the Jr MAPP classroom and welcome Brittain Peck as our art and Lower School Spanish teacher.
We’ve finished a very busy week of conferences and fine-tuned our student learning plans. Thanks to all of the parents and other conference attendees for their time and input. I personally attended
many conferences across the grade levels and I continue to believe that the time we set aside for this exchange of information is among our most valuable traditions. I also have to say that as I watched the teachers executing these conferences I couldn't have been more proud or impressed. We are very fortunate to have this talented and dedicated group of educators at our school.
The Module 1/2 Honor Roll (grades 6-12) and Merit Award (younger Middle Grades) students will be announced in Morning Meeting on Monday. They are: Molly Williams, Michael Berro, Jung-In Yoon, Ryn Wilkes, Ryan Siebens, Amber Rogers, Sarah Chetty, Meg Rusconi-Warner, Liz Reeder, Josh Pettway-Hinton, Bri Oleson, Lennon Klinger-Mehrbach, Max Fried, Zachariah Claypole-White, Josh Stallings, Rachel Roush, Elisabeth Parker, Olivia Arges, Alex Berro, Ben Kirby, and Angela Dodson and for Merit Awards Danny Sutton and Wyatt Grose.
Congratulations to the Camelot Knights soccer team on their second win of the season last week. As their season is drawing to a close at the end of this month, we are going to run a “fan day” this Wednesday. Students in Middle Grades and Upper School who would like to attend will be transported by the school to our home field at Twin Lakes Park. The game is at 4 PM. Students will be transported back to Camelot for pick up by 5:30 PM. Younger students are encouraged to attend with a parent. Fans who plan to attend are encouraged to wear the school colors (purple and gold). In order for your student to be transported to and from the game by the school I must receive an email giving your permission. The rain date is the following Wednesday, October 21.
Clubs are up and running as of this week. Due to instructor illness last week Sketchpad will meet as a preview week this week and the new meeting day is Thursdays. The following clubs had insufficient enrollment and are canceled for now – but will be reintroduced at a later time:
Running club, Upper and Lower School art club and Songwriting.
The online lunch system has launched – and as predicted we have had a few bumps. The most common problem thus far is with folks trying to set up new accounts without allowing turn around time for the account to be approved. Please remember that if you wish to set up a new
account you should allow 48 business hours for that account to become operational before you place an order. Each week from here on out the order deadline is Wednesday night at 11:59 PM. Ms. Wendy is braced for some discrepancies this week and so we have ordered extra pizza to be
used as a back up for any order mix-ups throughout the week. Please be patient as we iron out any problems – I think that in the long run this system will work better for all involved. We owe a huge THANK YOU to parent (and Camelot alum Class of ‘88) Brennan Stephens for the countless hours he has worked to set up this system over the past several months.
Finally, next Saturday, October 17, all 10th and 11th graders will report to Camelot to take the PSAT. Information and details were distributed at conference. Please let me know if you have any questions.
