Dear Families,

First and foremost on behalf of all of the Chesterbrook Academy staff, Ms. Danielle, Ms. Michelle and I would like to extend a special thank you to our families for your heartfelt holiday wishes and lovely gifts! Your thoughtfulness and generosity are much appreciated. Speaking of Holiday wishes, we hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and we would like to welcome all of you back!

January always reminds us of when we celebrated the grand opening of our school. This January marks our 14th year of serving children and families in the Port St. Lucie area. We treasure the many relationships we have formed over the years, and want to thank you once again for choosing Chesterbrook Academy for your child’s early education. Thanks to you, the majority of our new families have come to us after hearing from you about your experience at our school. YOU ROCK!

Our food drive for the House of Hope was a success! We collected over 189 pounds of food and our amazing students had the opportunity to tour the facility!  We also collected over 155 toys for Christmas 4 Kids and Toys for Tots. Thank you for the gift of giving, especially for children that are less fortunate. Your generosity has kept the spirit of giving alive at Chesterbrook Academy.

Now that the holidays are behind us, teachers will place strict focus on preparing their students for what lies ahead. Utilizing student observation records and assessments as a guide, teachers will hone in on each of their student’s individual needs and provide varied learning experiences, which will strengthen and challenge cognitive, social and emotional growth. Our goal is to ensure each child is confident in his or her ability and prepared with the necessary tools for a successful start in the next level of education.

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
• Green runny nose

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 second business day of every month will automatically receive a late fee of $30. If tuition is not paid in full by the 5th 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. If you’d like to sign up for our ACH program, which automatically pulls your monthly tuition from the account of your choice the 1st business day of every month, just let us know, and we will help get you enrolled.

ENRICHMENT PROGRAM FEES: Enrichments are still available for sign up with Computer Kids. The cost is $65 per month for a 30 minute session once per week.

CATERED LUNCH PROGRAM: ADVANCE ORDERING REQUIRED Monthly lunch order forms are available two weeks before each new month. Please be sure to turn your lunch order in with payment no later than the posted deadline. Late orders may not be honored. Pizza Friday orders for the entire month must also be turned in by the deadline. Ordering lunch is an optional service. You may also send lunch from home.
