CES Weekly Update 4.15.25

Principal's Message

I am looking forward to a great week ahead. On Tuesday evening we celebrate International Night, a great evening of sharing as we enjoy learning about the the many family traditions, cultures, talents, art, dress and cuisine across our Chesterbrook community. More information below and a link to sign up for a table if you would like to share.

Wednesday we celebrate our military families with Purple Up day. Wear purple to honor the sacrifices of our military families. 

Thursday evening our upper grade students from our Chorus, Band and Strings will perform their spring concerts for all to enjoy. I've had the joy of hearing some of our practices and look forward to a great evening of music.

Next Monday I hope all our volunteers will join our teachers for lunch as we say thank you for your support this school year. Find our schedule below for the class lunch time.

Wishing all a wonderful week!

Stacy Kirkpatrick, Principal

2024-25 Student Registration

Do not delay in registration! Accurate student numbers are critical to staffing appropriately for the 2024-25 school year. 

Register Your Child Online: Parents may register their children online for kindergarten through 12th grade. Learn how to begin the online registration process.  When registering, parents will create (or log in to an existing) SIS ParentVUE account. This Chesterbrook intake form will record your information with our office team as you start the process, so we can communicate with new families.  Parents must still complete the online registration linked above.

Solar Eclipse Glasses Donation

If your children no longer want their solar eclipse glasses, we will collect them for a donation drive.

Bring your solar eclipse glasses that are not damaged back to school and we will donate to children in Latin America for the eclipse in October 2024. 

We will have a box in front of the office where you child(ren) or you can drop off in the morning or afternoon.
