The first month of the year is gone already! Parent reports will be going out this month if you have not already received them. You can request a parent conference if you would like to discuss your child’s development or get a more thorough understanding of the parent report. Thank you to everyone who was able to participate in our Little Caesar’s Fundraiser. We were able to meet our goal of 50 kits sold!! Thank you for all of your enthusiasm and assistance with this program!!! The Little Caesar’s orders will be delivered on Friday, February 9th around 2pm. We will call you when the orders come in. Orders MUST be picked up on Friday, February 9th before 6:15pm. You will want to make sure that you have time to deliver the orders, because you will not be able to store all of the orders.
March Menus
March is quickly coming upon us. We will be sending out March lunch menus this week. They will be due by Friday, February 16th. Please, make sure to get your orders in on time. It is crucial to the ordering process. If you do not get your menus in on time you will have to pack your child’s lunch.
Ancillary Programs
We are trying to start up a gymnastics program and get a return to our soccer program. If you are interested in either one of these programs, please, alert the office so that we can put your name on the list. As soon as we have enough children signed up we will be able to start the programs. We still have Amazing Athletes, Dance, and Yoga. If you are interested in any of our programs, let me know.

Spring Break
Spring Break is coming up soon! There will be no VPK from Friday, March 23rd thru Friday, March 30th. VPK wrap-around children and the rest of the age levels will have class as normally scheduled.
Parent Communication
We want to keep our parents involved and one way to do that is making sure to read the information posted on your child’s classroom’s parent board as well as checking their folder for papers to go home each day. The “ What We Learned Today” paper located on the classroom doors will also share a special activity from the class’s day. I encourage you to ask your child questions about that activity. This is a great way to get them to share their day with you. Also, always feel free to talk to the teachers at drop off/pick up or call and check in throughout the day.
Kindergarten Kickoff
What to do after VPK has ended and Kindergarten has not started yet??? Here at Chesterbrook Academy we have our Kindergarten Kickoff Program. There are two options for this program. We have our full time option for $185 per week or our 9:00am-1:00pm option for $155 per week. This program continues on the learning throughout the summer in order to help give them that extra advantage when they start kindergarten. You can sign up for one week or 9 weeks. Please see the front office to sign up!
