Principal's Pen
Greetings CES Families,
On Wednesday, January 18th, you should have received an email from Superintendent Finley which described how we can partner together as a community to promote a safe environment. At Chaffee, and as educators, school safety is our number one priority. As Superintendent Finley mentioned, please ensure your child is not able to access any items that may present risks to the safety and well-being of their classmates or themselves. Check your child’s backpack nightly to ensure he/she is not bringing dangerous items, including toy weapons, to school. Remind your child that (s)he should never make threats of harm against anyone. If your child witnesses any suspicious activity or believes someone may present a potential safety risk, please remind him/her to ‘see something, say something’ by ensuring they inform a teacher or staff member immediately. You may also make a report on the Anonymous Alerts link found in the main icons on the CES school website or by emailing me directly. Thank you for your support in our efforts to ensure school safety.
Did you know that we have a Lost & Found area? It’s located near the back car line entry/exit point. Please remind your child(ren) to check Lost & Found for any missing items. We will need to donate remaining items at the end of the month.
Yearbooks are on sale until January 31. The price is now $35. You can order online or you can send your order to the school.
Soar Eagles,
April Clark
Principal

Attendance
It is vital that students are present each day unless sick. Students are allowed a limit of 7 parent sick notes a year. Students are considered truant if they have more than three unexcused absences at any time or if they have more than 18 absences for the year, whether the absences are excused or unexcused.
Please send excuse notes to your child's teacher or email them to sarah.cothren@hsv-k12.org.
