Principal's Pen
Greetings Chaffee Families,
Our students had so much fun at our Valentine’s Day Parties on Friday. Thank you to everyone who helped make it a special day for our students! Tomorrow is Presidents Day Holiday, and there is no school. Have a great day with your child(ren). Try to fit in playing games and/or reading together.
February is Black History Month, with fun learning activities planned throughout the month. This Friday our students will attend a Black History Month program during the school day in conjunction with Grissom High School. We’re also looking forward to the 4th grade wax museum this month!
Chaffee & the Chocolate Factory will continue all month, ending on March 3. Our goal is to sell 315 boxes of chocolate. We are over halfway to our goal! Keep up the great work!
Registration for the 2025-26 school year opens Tuesday, February 18! An email with directions will be sent from the district to the primary email address on file for each student. Please complete registration as soon as possible so that we can plan for next year. Please encourage your friends to register as soon as possible. You can reach out to Ms. Cothren or Ms. Carter with any questions.
We hope to see you at our spirit night this Thursday, February 20, at Flow Trampoline Park. This Spirit Night will be in conjunction with our planning meeting for the Decades Bash! See the flyer below for more details.
Chaffee Elementary will be hosting 6 Families and Schools Together (F.A.S.T.) Meetings beginning Tuesday, January 28, and continuing each Tuesday until March 4. F.A.S.T. Meetings will take place in the cafeteria from 5:45-7:30pm. There will be free food and Chaffee teachers on hand to supervise Chaffee students while their parents attend F.A.S.T. Meetings. Any children who are not Chaffee students will need to stay with their parents during these meetings. Please see the flyer below for topics. If you would like to attend one or more F.A.S.T. Meetings, please email Jenna Goodson at jgoodson@fsc-hsv.org to reserve your spot and to get included in our headcount for food. Please include the number of adults and children that will be attending. While there is no limit to the number of attendees for the F.A.S.T. Meetings, we will only be able to supervise the first 30 Chaffee students that RSVP. We would love to see you there!
Soar Eagles,
