Dear Parents,
Now that the holiday season has arrived, many of us will take the time to visit with family and friends or reconnect with important people in our lives. This type of personal connection is an important part of our school’s philosophy and continues to flourish through our many school events. Meaningful connections between teachers and parents guarantee academic, social, and emotional growth of each of our students. Your participation in our school activities has been amazing! Thank you for your support and ongoing commitment to our Chesterbrook Academy community.
Thank you for your generous donations towards our food drive! The donations were brought to The Boca Helping Hands Food Bank and we donated 200 pounds of food! They were very grateful for your support.
Our Thanksgiving Feasts were very special in every classroom. Each classroom shared delicious food and treats and all the students learned about Thanksgiving and it’s meaning.
December will bring more reasons to teach our students about giving. Chesterbrook Academy is excited to help our neighboring communities. Our Giving Tree is displayed in our lobby with students’ name tags from a Head Start program at Deerfield Beach elementary school. We will be collecting the wrapped gifts for these deserving children through December 10th.
Back by popular demand, our Lil’ Shopper’s Holiday Shoppe is back December 3rd through December 21st. This holiday shop provides a fun and educational opportunity for children to shop in a safe, non-commercial setting. They will learn about the value of money and spending wisely with an emphasis on the joy of GIVING! Most gifts are under $3 and up to $10.
Our Pre-K classes will be learning about diversity and holiday traditions. During the month, the students will be decorating paper dolls to represent their culture. On December 21st, they will have a Multicultural Holiday party. Each student will bring in a food from their country and they will explain how they decorated their dolls. This is a great opportunity to celebrate each other and what makes us unique and special.
Please take the time to review the upcoming events and reminders below. As always, we are grateful for our Chesterbrook Academy family. We wish your family a very Happy Holiday!

A Powerful Connection to a Lifetime of Learning
Your children experience the perfect balance of learning and play in a safe, nurturing environment. Our Links to Learning (LTL) curriculum prepares them for kindergarten by introducing concepts in reading, math, art, music and much more. You will receive progress updates, as well as ideas to continue learning at home.
Links 2 Home
You can expect to receive daily communication and pictures via email through our Links 2 Home program. 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. 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 PROGRAMS FEES: If your child is signed up to attend a specific enrichment program, the monthly fee must be paid in full the first week of every month, or your child may not attend the second week. Please understand, we are obligated to pay our physical fitness vendors promptly for their services. Credits will not be issued for missed classes due to absence or non-payment.
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.
