At Camarena, we follow a placement process that maximizes both positive academic and social experiences within the classroom. It is our commitment to place all children in an optimized learning environment where they will thrive and reach their fullest potential. Our goal is to create an equitable and balanced classroom environment that ensures the success of all students. The assignment of students to classes is a collective effort made by a placement team made up of teachers and school administration. Decisions for class placement are student-based using the following criteria: gender ratio, range of academic levels, language proficiency, past interactions, teacher’s knowledge, and special needs of students. Due to the delicate nature of creating equitable classes, we will not make any classroom adjustments at this time.
Staff will be available throughout the campus to help you find you class in the morning.

School Site Council- Members Needed
We need to elect TWO parent representatives to Camarena’s School Site Council (SSC) for the 2023 – 2024 school year. The purpose of this council is to monitor the progress of our school plan, which includes the budgets to accompany it. Parent representatives provide valuable input concerning the curriculum and activities that expand the core curriculum assured by district categorical funding.
The School Site Council is an elected decision-making body for the school.
If you have the time and the interest to serve on the School Site Council (SSC), please email krista.cardenas@cvesd.org. It is a wonderful opportunity to become very familiar with our school and help provide input into school-wide decision-making. This is a 2-year term. Sixth grade parents can serve only one year but may run in this election. If you are interested in having your name placed on the ballot, please fill out and return the information form below to Ms. Cardenas. SSC meetings are held monthly; 3:00-4:00 pm and they will be in person with a virtual option.
