Principal's Message
It is hard to believe that it is already December and moving into winter break. I enjoyed welcoming parents for our parent coffee this week on literacy and realize some of you may have wanted to join us but the schedule does not always allow. Reading Specialist, Teresa Foeckler, was able to share information on our new instructional program and ways parents can support their child at home. Please find the materials from the session listed below.
Chesterbrook Office Closure Over Break - The front office will be closed over the next two weeks as we will all take this time to be with our family and recharge over this winter break. If you have an urgent issue, please email me and I'll be checking email periodically throughout the break.
It has been great to see so many parents in recent weeks to support field trips, events, enjoy our winter concert and help our students celebrate the upcoming winter break. Your support and volunteerism is what makes our school so special and helps our student thrive. The words of appreciation and notes from the students mean so very much to all of us. Thank you for your partnership and collaboration. Wishing each of our Chesterbrook staff and student families a blessed and joyful holiday. We will see you in the new year!
Sincerely,
Stacy Kirkpatrick, Principal
