Principal's Pen
Greetings Chaffee Families,
This week is College & Career Week. It is never too early for students to think about their future path. Please help your student to participate in this week’s planned activities. We want our students to know that their future is full of endless possibilities!
Please join us for our Annual Title I Parent Meeting this week. There are two meeting options. The material shared will be the same at each meeting, so you only need to attend one meeting. Please see the flyer below for meeting times.
We are in the final days of our Raise Craze Fall Fundraiser! We have raised almost $10,000. Keep getting donations for our school and completing Acts of Kindness! Each class that completes 50 Acts of Kindness will have a cotton candy party!
As a reminder, Friday, September 29th, is an eLearning day for all Huntsville City Schools. Be on the lookout for more information from your child’s teacher about this day. All students will receive assignments that will be turned in using the method requested by the classroom teacher. In addition, K-5 classroom teachers will provide three support times via zoom to assist students with instruction, assignments, and/or answer instructional questions the students may have.
Our Lost & Found is full of items. Please remind your child to look for lost items this week. Also, it would be great to label your child’s items with his/her name or your family’s last name so that we can get lost items back to your child. All items remaining in Lost & Found on September 29th will be taken to a donation site.
This year, as part of the Alabama Literacy Act, students in 3rd grade who do not score proficient on the spring ACAP reading test may not be promoted to 4th grade. It is imperative that our students are at school daily unless sick so that they can receive their many tiers of instruction. We want all students to be successful, but we cannot educate them if they’re not at school.
Soar Eagles,
April Clark
Principal
