Dear Parents,
Summer is in full swing at Chesterbrook Academy! Students have done well transitioning to the next level, and are keeping busy with new and exciting summer activities. Our school age campers are making memories as they participate in daily field trips to some exciting new places, while discovering Treasure Coast attractions.
Students and teachers campus wide worked on skills, while creating crafts and letters for our service men and women. These, “Letters to Troops” will be mailed out this week so our service members will receive them sometime in July. It was a wonderful learning experience for our children and our staff as well. This experience warmed our hearts as we thought of all the selfless sacrifices that our service men and women make everyday. Thank you to all of the families who stopped at our “Letters to Troops” table in the lobby to add a letter to our box!
Although it’s summer, we as early childhood educators continue to look ahead and plan for the upcoming school year. Our Links to Learning curriculum has always provided children with a well-rounded educational foundation. To stay current with the latest research and remain ahead of early education standards our teachers will attend summer training to sharpen their teaching skills.
July marks the beginning of our new fiscal year, which means there will be a small percentage increase in tuition effective July 1st. A 2019/2020 tuition rate sheet is available at the front desk. If you have any questions, please let us know. Tuition is due the 1st business day of every month. A $25 late fee will automatically apply to all outstanding tuition invoices on the 5th business day of every month. Families who pay tuition in 2 installments must pay 50% on the 1st business day of every month and have a zero balance by the 16th business day of every month to avoid a late fee of $25.
School-age summer camp is a weekly billed program. Please submit payment every Monday on the weeks your child attends.
Have a safe and fun Independence Day!

JULY 15-19
The month of July kicks off our annual Kids Helping Kids fundraiser. This year, we have chosen to encourage students to help other children by participating in Alex’s Lemonade Stand. We will help the Foundation’s efforts to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer by selling lemonade and lemon themed goodies. Our Elementary Summer Campers will also be hosting a Lemonade stand during drop off/pick up and in the community. Look for our school Lemonade Stand in the front lobby!
We’ve compiled some of our favorite summer-themed activities that are easy to set up, inexpensive, and will keep your child entertained and learning all season long. Infants & Toddlers (Ages 0-2) Before a vacation, read books about some of the things your child may experience (i.e., going to the beach,[.....]

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.
