Principal's Pen
Greetings Chaffee Family,
What a wonderful second week of school we had! We appreciate all that you do to support us so we can be the best we can be for our students. We are all thoroughly enjoying getting to know each of you and your children better. We have been so impressed with how quickly our students are settling in to their new routines and their new classrooms! It’s going to be a great year!
Don't forget to order your child's Chaffee shirt! Paper order forms with payment are due Friday, Sunday 18. Online orders are due Sunday, August 20 (link is below).
Please note that our PTA Meeting with Open House will be August 29, 5:30-7. We hope to see your family there. Bruster’s Ice Cream will be available for purchase. Additional parking is available at Community Fellowship Church. Please do not park illegally in our Chaffee neighborhood.
Fall pictures will be taken this Friday during the school day. These are the photos that will be included in our yearbook. We need a few volunteers to help. It won't take much of your time! Picture Day Volunteer Sign-Up Website
Students learn best when they are at school. If your child has to be absent due to sickness, don’t forget to send/email a parent or doctor excuse note within two days of your child’s absence. We will adhere to the following truancy guidelines:
--After 3 unexcused absences parent/guardian will receive a First Notification Letter from the school with a reminder of our attendance policy.
--After 5 unexcused absences parent/guardian will receive a Second Notification Letter from the school with an invitation to attend an Early Warning Conference to discuss the student’s absences.
Thank you for your partnership!
Soar Eagles,
April Clark
