Important announcement! Electronic student absence notes now available!
We are excited to announce that beginning Monday, February 2nd, 2026 families can now conveniently submit absence notes online! This new electronic option makes it easier and faster to submit an absence note following a student’s absence.
(Per policy an excuse note must be submitted within 2 days of the absence, or the absence will be unexcused)
All electronic submissions are securely received and processed by the school office. Paper notes will still be accepted for those who prefer that method.
To submit an absence note (beginning Monday):
• Visit the school’s website https://cres.camden.k12.ga.us/
• Navigate to the Quick Links drop down. The first link is the electronic Excused Absence Form. You’ll also see the form linked on the button on the right side of the page for easy access.
• Complete and submit the electronic absence form via a google form.

Please reach out to the school with any questions.

We are in need of NEW children (or women’s adult) sized pajamas - whether it's a pajama set or a nightgown. Remember, children’s pajamas must be marked as pajamas to ensure they are flame resistant.
For every donation received, Scholastic Books will graciously donate a brand new book to benefit the children of the Pajama Program. Let's make a difference this holiday season! 🎁
Donations accepted from November 17th to December 18th. Together, we can bring warmth and comfort to those in need. ❤️ #PajamaAndBookDrive #CRESCommunity #ScholasticBooks #PajamaProgram
