Chaffee Parent Lending Library

An awesome way to support your student(s)!

Did you know?

  • As a Title I school, Chaffee Elementary has learning games for parents to use at home.

  • Studies show that when parents are engaged in their student's learning, kids are more likely to succeed.

  • A complete list of resources can be found in Chaffee's office or you can reach out to our parent coordinator, Ciara Bush.

  • Let us help you prevent the Summer Slide!

Five Ways to Promote Reading at Home

  1. Create a schedule including time for reading.

  2. Fill a backpack with supplies for children to use at home.

  3. Set up a reading nook. (Pillows and blankets can make it extra comfortable.)

  4. Ask questions about story characters

  5. Go on an indoor camping trip.
