Principal's Pen

Greetings Chaffee Families,

I hope your family had a terrific spring break! We can't wait to see our students at school tomorrow! There are only nine weeks left in this school year, and every day counts for our students’ academic success. When you stress the importance of school, your child will understand the importance of school. We are here for your family.

Spring ACAP Testing is right around the corner! Our 2nd and 3rd graders will test April 1-4. Our 4th and 5th graders will test April 8-11. Please make sure students arrive to school on time, eat a healthy breakfast at home or at school, and have a charged laptop. Please encourage your child to do his/her best. Every test is practice for the next test!

Registration for the 2024-25 school year is now open. A snapcode was sent to the primary email address on file. Please complete registration as soon as possible so that we can plan for next year. The district will determine our number of teachers for next year based on registration. We would love to earn additional teachers so that our class sizes decrease. Please encourage your friends to register as soon as possible. You can reach out to Ms. Cothren or Ms. Saylor with any questions.

You can purchase your child's yearbook.  You can order online or send your order to school using the order form send home in Wednesday Folders.
