Principal's Pen
Greetings Chaffee Families,
What a wonderful second week of school we had! The Back to School Splash was especially fun. Thank you to our PTA for organizing such a fun event! Our Chaffee faculty and staff appreciate all that you do to support us so we can be the best we can be for our students. We’re thoroughly enjoying getting to know each of you and your children better. We have been so impressed with how quickly our students are settling in to their new routines and their new classrooms! It’s going to be a great year!
Huntsville City Schools requests that all parents take this survey by August 30.
Join us this Thursday at Cheeseburger Bobby's for Chaffee Spirit Night!
Please note that our PTA Meeting with Open House will be Tuesday, August 27, 5:30-7. We hope to see your family there.
Fall pictures will be taken Friday, August 16, during the school day. These are the photos that will be included in our yearbook.
Students learn best when they are at school. If your child has to be absent due to sickness, don’t forget to send/email a parent or doctor excuse note within two days of your child’s absence. We will adhere to the following truancy guidelines:
--After 3 unexcused absences parent/guardian will receive a First Notification Letter from the school with a reminder of our attendance policy.
--After 5 unexcused absences parent/guardian will receive a Second Notification Letter from the school with an invitation to attend an Early Warning Conference to discuss the student’s absences.
Don't forget to order your child's Chaffee shirt! Paper order forms with payment are due Friday, August 16. You can also order additional items online here. The last day to purchase is August 16.
Soar Eagles,
April Clark
Principal
