September 2025
Welcome back! We’re excited to begin another school year with our amazing students, families, and staff. As we get ready to launch the 2025–2026 school year, here are a few important updates and reminders.
New Cell Phone & Personal Technology Policy
We are introducing a new cell phone and personal device policy this year:
- Cell phones and personal technology are not to be used during the school day (8:25 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.)
- All devices must be stored in student lockers for the duration of the day.
- If a teacher plans to use cell phones for a specific learning activity, they will let students know in advance.
This change supports a more focused learning environment and encourages face-to-face interaction and engagement throughout the day.
Farewell to Kristi Morkin
We are sad to share that our long-time Administrative Assistant, Kristi Morkin, will be moving on to new opportunities. Kristi has been a warm and welcoming presence at Camilla School, and we are so grateful for her years of dedication and care. She will be truly missed. Please join us in wishing Kristi all the best in her next chapter!
Arrival & Drop-Off Reminders
- School doors open at 8:25 a.m. for student arrival.
- If you’re dropping off your child, please plan to arrive between 8:25 and 8:30 a.m.
- When using the parking lot, drive slowly, stay alert, and use the designated parking stalls if you need to exit your vehicle.
Forms & Agreements
A quick reminder to check that your child’s:
- Low-Risk Field Trip Permission Form is completed (most were done in spring registration).
- Student Technology User Agreement is submitted via PowerSchool under “Student Fees & Forms.”
If you need help finding these, contact the school office.

At Camilla School, we are committed to fostering safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments for all students. One of the key tools we use to achieve this is the Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Schools (TCIS) system. TCIS is a trauma-informed, division-wide framework designed to help staff prevent crises, de-escalate potential conflicts, and support students in developing healthy emotional regulation and coping skills. This system not only enhances safety and well-being but also promotes stronger relationships between students, staff, and families.
