Principal's Pen

Greetings Chaffee Families,

It was wonderful to see our students back at school this past week! Report cards were sent home on Friday. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s grades be sure to reach out to his/her teacher.

This week our 2nd-5th graders will take a practice ACAP assessment. We are using this as an opportunity for students to learn test taking skills and how to use the online tools used for the true ACAP assessment that will be taken in the spring. Our kindergarten and 1st grade students will take the Middle of the Year DIBELS assessment this week. This assessment is one on one and takes less than ten minutes per student. Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and is on time each morning. We want everyone to do his or her best!

The very best way you can help your student’s academic achievement is by making sure that (s)he reads nightly for 20 minutes or is read to nightly for 20 minutes. Reading together is fun, educational, and makes memories for years to come. Reading together is the difference maker!

You can purchase your child's yearbook online here. You can order online or send your order to school using the order form sent home in Wednesday Folders. There is a copy of the order form below.

Soar Eagles,

April Clark

Principal
