Principal's Pen

Greetings Chaffee Families,

I hope your family has had a wonderful holiday break! We are looking forward to an awesome semester and can't wait to see our students back at school tomorrow--Monday, January 6! Please make sure laptops are charged and backpacks are packed and ready for tomorrow morning.

We want our students to be Number Ninjas! A Number Ninja packet was sent home with each student prior to the break. The signed form needs to be returned to school tomorrow for a special treat—put it in your child’s backpack now. We have exciting rewards for students who become Number Ninjas!

This week our Kindergarten-3rd graders will take part in middle of the year DIBELS testing. This testing is completed one-on-one and takes about 10 minutes per student. Please encourage your child to do his/her best.

Report cards will be sent home Thursday. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s grades be sure to reach out to his/her teacher.

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!

Please remember that students need tennis shoes/sneakers for PE daily. Wearing proper shoes prevents injuries.

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).

You can purchase your child's yearbook online here. You can order online or send your order to school using the order form below.

Soar Eagles,

April Clark
