2020 Back to School Updates

It was wonderful to have many of you attend our parent coffee this morning. We had an opportunity to share many updates for the school year.

We recorded the coffee for those unable to join us.  You can view the recording by clicking on this link.

The slides for the presentation can be accessed here, if you do not wish to view the entire presentation.

Upcoming Meet and Greets

Please save the date and join us for these virtual gatherings. Please bring your children so they can enjoy in the first part of the meeting.  We hope to have a bit of fun allowing them to be part of this meeting as we get started.  We will conclude these sessions with parents and addressing questions related to Chesterbrook.

You may access any of these meetings with this link.

Supplies for 2020

As we prepare for a virtual start, students will need school supplies.  A couple additional items were mentioned in our parent coffee that would be good for students to have including optional headphones with a mic (in case a student needs to tune out outside noises for focus) and a small dry erase whiteboard. There will be items from the original list that will be more useful when we return face to face such as folders and binders. Items from sprout kits such as wipes, ziploc bags and kleenex can be used at home while we start virtually. An updated list will be provided soon for those that did not purchase sprout kits.

We will work with the PTA to help coordinate the supply orders from Sprout for curbside pickup.  Stay tuned for more information.

Mrs. Lopez, our art teacher, has put together an informational video on preparing for art this year and getting a space ready that will inspire you.  Check out Mrs. Lopez' video on getting ready for virtual art and meet her new puppy, Fondue


Computers for Students

Return of FCPS Laptops issued in the Spring

If your child has an FCPS computer that was issued to them in the spring, this will need to be returned to Chesterbrook next Monday or Tuesday of next week.  Please drop off  FCPS student laptops to Chesterbrook on Monday from 9-2 or Tuesday 9-12.  If you cannot drop off during this time, please contact our front office to set up a plan for drop off.  All machines need to be returned as soon as possible, so we can prepare for 2020-21 distribution.

School Year 2020-21 Student Laptop Distribution Requests

It is important that every child, K-6, have their own computer for instruction this school year.  Will your child need a laptop?  Please complete the updated distribution survey, so we can prepare for this process.  The survey form will allow parents to enter a request for up to three children in a family.  If you have more than three children, please enter an additional survey request.
