From the Principal’s Desk…
December is a special month for us here at Chesterbrook Academy in Cooper City. We really take joy in creating family traditions together and sharing those special moments and memories. Our calendar is full of opportunities for us to enjoy holiday cheer! Family traditions lend a certain spirit that nurtures the connection we share here at our school, giving us a sense of belonging and helping us celebrate year over year of good times with each other. More importantly, traditions create positive memories for children and at the end of the day the positive memories are what we carry in our hearts!
What are your family traditions? Have you created new ones with your own family? If so, please share them with us! Sign up to share your family tradition with us on one of the dates outlined below! The more we learn…the more we grow!

And, we also encourage you to take a few moments each week to review your child’s classroom Links to Learning “Parent Board,” so you can “Link” to your child’s early education experiences. Posted are “Weekly Skills,” “Lesson Plan,” “Daily Schedule,” “Monthly Spanish” and “Learning Outcomes.”
SICK POLICY:
The purpose of our sick policy is to reduce the spread of illness among our students 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.
Children may be sent home if they have any concerning symptoms. Also, a child must be free of all of these symptoms for at least 24 hours before he/she can return to school. These symptoms include:
- A Fever of 100 degrees or more
- Vomiting within the previous 24-hour period
- Diarrhea within the previous 24-hour period
- Symptoms of a communicable disease
- Fussy, cranky behavior and not himself/ herself
Following an illness, a child may return to school once he/she has either been seen by a doctor or it has been determined that illness is not contagious. (A doctor’s clearance may be requested.) Please help us keep all of our children healthy by following these rules. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Thank you for your support!
TUITION: Tuition is due the 1st business day of every month. Accounts not paid in full by 12:00 pm the fifth business day of every month will automatically receive a late fee of $25. If tuition is not paid in full by the 7th business day of each month, your child may not attend until the balance is paid in its entirety. Failure to comply with tuition policies will result in a notice of dis-enrollment.
