Principal's Pen
Greetings Chaffee Families,
ACAP Testing begins this week for our 4th and 5th graders. Due to last week’s early dismissal on Tuesday and Wi-Fi outage on Wednesday, our 2nd and 3rd graders will complete ACAP testing on April 15-16. 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!
K for a Day is Tuesday, April 30. Please tell your friends who have rising kindergarten students. The flyer is below.
Our monthly attendance challenge is underway! The grade level with the best attendance this month wins a cookie party and extra recess. 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!
Don't forget to order your child's Field Day shirt. Paper order forms were sent home a few weeks ago. If you need another paper order form, please let your child's teacher know.
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.
Soar Eagles,
April Clark
Principal
