Greetings Chaffee Families,

ACAP Testing begins this week. Our 2nd and 3rd graders will be testing. 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 their charged laptop. Please encourage your child to do his/her best. Every test is practice for the next test!

Our new monthly attendance challenge begins tomorrow! Students should be at school unless they are excluded for illness. Please send an excuse note/email or call the front office following each absence so that the absence can be coded as excused when possible. Thank you for your continued help with this!

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.

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