Dear Parents,
All of us here at Chesterbrook Academy are just as excited as your children to begin our new school year. Our classrooms and lessons are awaiting all of our eager students. We promise you all a year of excitement as we continue implementing our Links to Learning curriculum. We are sure you will appreciate the parent friendly approach the curriculum and our staff provide keeping you informed of your child’s development.
Parents please remember that we are available to discuss your child at any time, the most common when you are bringing your child in for the day or picking them up at the end of the day. Should we be involved with another parent or unavailable simply give us a call that day. Should we need to schedule a time to meet an appointment can be arranged.
Whether your child is six weeks old or just about to turn five, fall offers a fantastic array of learning opportunities that are both fun and educational. As the heat of the summer starts to cool down and the cooler autumn air moves in spend some quality time outside with your child.
If you have an infant or toddler talk to them about what you see, hear, smell and feel. Together you are building y our child’s comprehension and vocabulary. Young children learn through all of t heir senses so the more they see, hear, touch and taste the more they will learn.
As children get older we want to teach them something we tend to do a lot of talking and expect them to learn only through their sense of hearing. For true learning, we need to encourage children to use all of their senses by looking at things, touching them, smelling and tasting them (when possible), as well as listening to and conversing with us. Children learn very little about a leaf by just looking at a picture, but when they are able to touch, roll, squeeze, and smell one, they are well on their way to learning.
We at Chesterbrook Academy have always been proud and extremely grateful for all of the cooperation we receive from our families and we look forward to the same this year. We will continue to work with our families to meet the needs of your children. Together we will provide you with a most rewarding year for your child.
Until October,
Miss Cindy

Books are a great way to enrich your child’s understanding and acceptance of diverse cultures. With this foundation in the preschool years, children have more social confidence and success in interacting with many different types of people as they progress through elementary school and beyond. Below are some age-appropriate options[.....]

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 every day.
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.
