Attendance Matters: Attendance Report Cards
Our goal is to partner with families to minimize the number of days students are absent. Please review FCPS Attendance Policies and resources to encourage regular school attendance.
Attendance report cards will be emailed to parents this week to help communicate your child's attendance at this point in the year. We want to do all we can to support your child being in school regularly. Please reconsider vacations which extend over the days we are off, which increase the likelihood of Chronic Absenteeism which is required to be reported to the state. Students missing a total of 18 days for any reason are deemed chronically absent. Sick students should still stay home and we understand there can be extenuating circumstances.
Chesterbrook's school day officially begins at 8:50 AM and any child entering after 8:50 is marked tardy. Please make every effort to have students arrive by 8:45 so they are on time for class.

A Peek into Kindergarten
Student engagement was very high in Ms. Kuduk's class this past week as students learned about patterns in math. Eager student volunteers made a pattern for peers to clap and stomp out, a read aloud book, "Pitter Patterns," helped students understand the concept and then they completed a variety of stations to practice their skills. Way to go Kindergarten students! Every Day is a Chance to Grow!
