Greetings Chesterbrook Academy Families,
My name is Christina Durish and I am the new principal here at Chesterbrook Academy Statesville. I am so happy to be here and all of our parents and staff have been nothing but welcoming.
I have been in childcare for the past 12 years, and have been in administration for 4 ½ years. I am originally from New Jersey and moved here in 2009 with my husband. We absolutely love Huntersville and have a bright and energetic 7 year old son and our almost 2 year is very much enjoying her new school! I am hoping to keep our center great with our amazing staff and wonderful families.
This month marks the beginning of our Connect to Summer curriculum enhancement camp for our preschoolers. These programs feature activities that support learning outcomes aligning with your child’s developmental level. Please keep an eye out for special communications about activities and events, and about how you can support your child’s learning at home. As always, we are here with any questions or concerns you may have. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

We will celebrate the accomplishments of our Pre-K students on June 5th at 7:15PM (Hilton Garden Inn 9315 Statesville Rd Charlotte, NC 28269) Our students have been working hard on songs, dances and selected readings to share with you all on this special day. Pre-K teachers will be sending more information home shortly.

Links 2 Home App Usage
We know that summer is a busy time for our families, and want to communicate school happenings as clearly as possible to ensure that no one is left out. Daily reports are sent via email each day, but our Links 2 Home app keeps all school communications in one place and is always accessible. The app also allows to you communicate absences to your child’s teacher, leave drop-off notes, and read teacher and administrative notes in detail.
If you’re not a current app user, we encourage you to visit the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to download the app today. You will need to login with the email address you use for Alma. Please let us know if you have issues logging into Links 2 Home!
Summer Cubby Clean-ups
Our students love spending time outdoors and we want to make sure we take ample advantage of the summer weather before it gets too hot. If your child is in the Toddler classroom and up, please make sure they have the following items:
- Labeled bottle of sunscreen.(complete the form at the front counter and give to teacher)
- Reusable water bottle with your child’s name on it (optional)
- Summer appropriate change of clothes
Splash Days
We have several water play days planned for our students this summer and can’t wait for your child to participate! On splash days we provide water tables, sprinklers, water toys, and water slides! Children should come to school in their swimsuit (with swim diaper where applicable) and with a towel and a change of dry clothes with a clothe bag to put all wet clothes in (no plastic). Please apply sunscreen to your child before you drop them off. Our currently scheduled splash days are: Every Wednesday during summer camp.
Kindest Regards,
Christina Durish, Principal
