Hello Spartan Families, 

Welcome back everyone from Winter Break. We hope that you enjoyed your time with your family. 

We will be sending out information soon about when you can view your students' grades for the fourth sixth week grading period.

Elective Registration week has ended. We will have one final Make-Up Day on February 28th.

Parents, with flu season among us, please review the document sent by Nurse Cristelli and the CDC link below if you have concerns about when to send your student to school.

We will be celebrating Black History Month with our MLK Community Awards Ceremony later in the month. It will be a school-wide assembly and is an annual tradition at Campbell. 

We ask that families please complete our Climate Survey in the attachments below. There are only 22 questions, and it will take about 5-10 minutes to complete. We would like to get at least 30% of our families to complete the survey. All schools have to complete it. 




The Student Behavior Contract Letter was shared with all parents/guardians at This is Sparta. All students received a copy on the first day of school and it was reviewed with students during the grade level assemblies. A copy of the letter is in the attachment below and will remain for the remainder of the school year. Please review the letter with your student.
