Principal's Message
We hope that summer is settling in and fun plans are on the agenda for our Chesterbrook Chipmunks, families and our staff. We will miss our staff and families that are moving on and wish you all the very best. It's been a pleasure to support your children during this school year. While I'm getting a lot accomplished and was easily able to take some time last week to celebrate my daughter's high school graduation, the school is too quiet. Sharing my family photo with you as I'm a proud mom of a University of Tennessee bound young adult. Hard to believe how quickly these school years pass.
The planning for the new school year started way back in late winter and we are excited to begin renewed and refreshed in August. It's been great to meet many new families that will be starting at Chesterbrook in August.
Wishing you a wonderful summer!
Sincerely,
Stacy Kirkpatrick, Principal

Congratulations Pat Pence, Administrative Assistant
This summer, Mrs. Pence will be retiring from FCPS. Pat has been an incredible support to our staff, students and families over her eight years at Chesterbrook. The care and concern she has put in to making sure our staff have what they need and taking any little task she can off their plate, allowed our teachers to focus on their students. Her dedication is going to be hard to match and certainly her smile, kindness and warm heart will be deeply missed.
We wish Pat a retirement filled with amazing travels, more time with her family, long walks with her dog Izzy and much joy. She has earned it and will truly be missed.

Private Summer Tutoring with Chesterbrook Staff
We are often asked if staff are available to tutor over the summer or during the school year. We have compiled this list of CES staff that are available this summer to support the summer bridge as private tutors.
FCPS also provides free online tutoring services over the summer
FCPS students will continue to have unlimited access to 24/7, on-demand, online tutoring support services through Tutor.com this summer. Students are able to use Tutor.com to review and/or practice in subject areas of interest or need. Students may also choose to access other tools such as practice quizzes in a variety of subject areas, as well as self-paced study courses for SAT and ACT preparation.
Details about how students can access Tutor.com through archived courses in Schoology are provided in Summer Access at Tutor.com - Online Tutoring Services. Secondary students enrolled in summer Credit Recovery Academy, Online Campus, Online Economics and Personal Finance, and TJHSST summer courses will be able to access Tutor.com via their active summer course in Schoology.
