Dear Camp Curtin Academy Parents, Guardians, Students, and Staff,
Due to a building maintenance issue, Camp Curtin Academy will be closed tomorrow - Friday, May 15. Instead of holding in-person classes, students will participate in a Flexible Instruction Day so that learning can continue at home. Attendance still counts, and instructions for participation will be shared by your child’s teacher. Please stay tuned for information and updates. Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Kudos and thanks to our Camp Curtin Academy families and students who came out for this evening's Power PSSA & Family Engagement Fun Night. In addition to good food, games, and family fun, families received information about the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) testing changes, preparation strategies, the power of encouragement and boosting their child's confidence, and how to support their child's overall educational success.
No doubt. Tonight's event was definitely worth attending!
Let's give a huge shout out of thanks to our Camp Curtin Academy Family Engagement Specialist, Ms. Urrutia, for hosting this informative event and creating meaningful opportunities to connect with our families!
