Cameron R-I School District has implemented a program entitled Super S.T.A.R. (Students Teaching Awareness and Resistance). The mission of this program is to encourage high school students to serve as drug free role models for younger students.
They are chosen on the basis of being drug free and of outstanding character. These students are asked to sign a contract that they will remain drug free for the duration of their high school tenure. They agree to visit the elementary and middle school during Red Ribbon Week, speaking to students about why they have chosen a drug free lifestyle, what motivates them, how they handle peer pressure, and why academics are important also.
The Super S.T.A.Rs will present to CIS on Wednesday, October 25th. #DragonNation
This week is Red Ribbon Week! We will celebrate making Really Excellent Decisions with a few dress up days! #DragonNation
CIS would like to thank Firemen Jim McKinley and Ross Worth for presenting fire safety guidelines last week. They talked about how to respond in the event of a house fire and explained how the firemen would look in their suits. Paramedic Nathan Jones talked about how to be safe and gave information about what might happen when paramedics arrive on a scene. We are so thankful for all of the men and women that respond to emergencies every single day. #DragonNation

CIS is implementing a positive reward system based on attendance. Randomly, students who are in attendance a certain number of consecutive days will be eligible for a special reward. The rewards and the number of days will vary to encourage and motivate students to attend school regularly while they are healthy. Our goal is for all students to earn the attendance reward at some point during the year. Consistent attendance is important for academic progress and for building a strong sense of responsibility.
Our first attendance reward was for being in attendance for 15 consecutive days ending October 5. On that day 61 students in 3rd grade, 61 students in 4th grade and 51 students in 5th grade had the opportunity to eat lunch outside.
Thank you to all parents for your unending efforts to have the children at school when they are healthy.
