For Our Families:
Dear Parents,
Wow!!! We sure enjoyed all of your wonderful compliments you shared about our “Spring Sings” and “Muffins for Moms”. The children loved their audiences and truly performed above all expectation.
It is hard to believe this school year will be coming to an end, but fear not, we are ready to provide your child with an exciting summer experience. We will continue to ready each and every child for the year ahead as they enjoy fun in the sun. How? Our Links To Learning curriculum has been expanded throughout the summer! Yes, your child will continue to flourish as together we challenge and motivate each and every child at our school.
There are some slides parents do not want their children to avoid. Such slides can be found in playgrounds and water parks. By all means children young and old should find time to get their fill of these wonderful summer attractions. June can beckon a slide of its own, the academic slide. The academic slide does not necessarily impact the many; however there are simple things one can do to avoid losing academic footing.
Some activities can include:
Reading and discussing the stories or books read.
Retelling the events of a family adventure.
Asking questions such as Why? And What if?
The opportunities are many and we at Chesterbrook Academy plan on providing each child during the summer with a new book of their own to prevent the academic slide. Our students will also enjoy our many summer activities that will have an emphasis on strengthening their social-emotional skills. All of our classrooms will explore the many different cultures of the world and partake in exciting adventures with their fellow classmates.
Until July,
Miss Cindy

The summer months are a great time for children of all ages to splash and explore with water. Not only is water play fun, but it’s also a great learning experience for your child. Supervised water play fosters creativity, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, language skills, math and science concepts,[.....]

For Parents & Teachers
Just A Reminder: Please remember your child’s teachers are here to make your day start off on a good note. Having trouble separating in the morning? Talk with the teacher. Should you want the teacher to assist with you child you simply need to let us know. No one wants to step out of their place and become involved in a situation we are not invited.
Morning Snack is served between the hours of 8:00 AM until 8:30 AM. Our school’s morning snack in no way meets the dietary needs of a breakfast. Please be mindful of your child’s class schedule since their activities begin promptly at 8:30 AM as we will not be providing the morning snack after this time. Should you arrive after 8:30 AM with your child eating food, you have supplied, it is necessary for you to stay with your child in an area other than their classroom. Please remember when you are substituting a portion of our lunch it needs to be kept in your child’s classroom in their cubby. Their food items should be peanut free and not needing to be warmed or cooked.
Safety First:
Our Drop Off and Pick Up Request is for the safety of our youngest students. When dropping your children off in the morning please bring the oldest child to their classroom first. When leaving for the day please pick up your youngest child first. This practice will eliminate the opportunity for an incident or an accident to occur in our young classrooms. Too often the older sibling will believe they are helping although they quite innocently can be the cause of a situation. We appreciate your cooperation as our goal continues to be to provide the safest environment for all of our students.
Parking Lot Safety
We are working to keep our parking lot a safe area for our families. Gold’s Gym along with the owners of the Golden Meadows Park are aware of our concerns. We encourage all of our families to do our part in maintaining the speed limit and to remain courteous to our fellow drivers.
Our school is a Peanut Free environment! It is extremely important that no one send in any food items containing peanuts in any form to their child’s class. We do have children that are highly allergic to peanuts and would never compromise their safety and ask for your assistance when providing treats.
The sunshine is wonderful and all of the children are wearing faces of “joy” as they “enjoy” their time outside. Please remember to apply sunscreen lotions prior to arriving in the morning since many products have an activation period. Each and everyday weather allowing, your child will partake in outside play. Please remember that children must wear appropriate shoes on the playground. No sandals, crocks, or dress shoes are allowed since they do not provide a secure sole on their shoe for our busy students.
Sign In / Sign Out: We know things can get a bit hectic at drop off and pick up, although it is imperative that you sign your child in and out each and everyday.
We understand that with the cold weather comes a cold car. We request than NO vehicles should be running unattended while on the school property.
Outside Play: Our children will be going outside to enjoy the fresh air, weather permitting. This is a licensing regulation, and we will not make exceptions based on a child’s health.
Sick Policy Reminder: The purpose of our sick policy is to reduce the spread of illness among children and to encourage full recuperation of sick children before they return to school. We depend on parents to assist us in maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all of our children.
School Closings and Delayed Openings
Please remember that should our weather become inclement and present a hazard we will alter our hours of operation. All postings will be announced on WGAL TV and www.wgal.com. Please know that we do not make these decisions in haste, although we must take the safety of all into consideration.
Just a Reminder: Tuition is due no later than the Friday prior to the weekly preferred schedule. This information was noted in your registration and we thank many of you for asking questions to clarify this change. To simplify the change, all tuition payments are due on the Friday before the next tuition week. Hopefully no one will be billed the $25 late fee that will be charged should your tuition payment not be received by noon on the following Monday.
Please remember that all returned checks will be billed a $25 service charge and your account is applicable to receive an additional $25 late fee.
Should you have a questions please do not hesitate to ask. We thank you all for your continued cooperation.
Our hours of operation are from 6:30am until 6:00pm. Children attending longer than a ten hour day or after 6:00pm will be billed additional fees.
