Principal's Pen

Greetings Chaffee Families,

PURCHASE A YEARBOOK NOW BEFORE THE PRICE GOES UP ON JANUARY 1! Buy yours here. Please see the flyer below for more information.

I hope your family has had a wonderful holiday break and wish you an almost Happy New Year!

We can't wait to see our students back at school on Monday, January 6! In the meantime, help your child practice his/her math facts. We want our students to be Number Ninjas! A Number Ninja packet was sent home with each student prior to the break. We have exciting rewards for students who become Number Ninjas!

The very best way you can help your student’s academic achievement is by making sure that (s)he reads nightly for 20 minutes or is read to nightly for 20 minutes. Reading together is fun, educational, and makes memories for years to come. Reading together is the difference maker!

Is your 3rd-5th grade student interested in applying to be on our Robotics Team? Mark your calendar for our parent meeting on January 13 (see the flyer below for more details).

Soar Eagles,

April Clark

Principal
