From the Office of the Principal
Dear Chesterbrook Academy Families,
We wanted to sincerely thank you for all of your patience and support over the past couple of months. Our students and staff have transitioned back so smoothly and are so excited to be learning together again! There have been many challenges, but the staff, children and families all came together and made it a summer we will never forget.
Our new school year kicks off on August 17, 2020. We are also happy to welcome our school age children who are attending our new Club Connect program. This program was designed to assist students and families with the new public school remote learning requirements.
We wanted to send out a few reminders for everyone:
~Our hours are currently 7:30a – 5:30p. Drop off is from 7:30-9a. If for some reason you need to drop off after 9a, we ask that you call and let us know.
~ We are still only serving breakfast, afternoon snack, and drinks for all meals.
~Packed lunches should be packed with an ice pack and should not include any nuts or any products containing nuts.
~If your child is in the Toddler classroom and up and would like us to apply sunscreen in the afternoons, please bring sunscreen for your child and complete the appropriate form (we can provide you with the form). Also, please make sure we have summer-appropriate changes of clothes in your child’s cubby.
Thank you to all of our families for your support during this time. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Kindest Regards,
William Gordon, Principal

Chesterbrook Academy Parent Referral Program
If there’s one thing parents love to do, it’s talk about their children’s successes. When friends ask you about your child’s experiences at Chesterbrook Academy, what type of success stories do you share? Do you mention the personal and educational discoveries your child is making thanks to our advanced curriculum? Do you talk about the new levels of self and social confidence your child has gained thanks to our encouraging atmosphere? Whatever glowing reports you deliver about how your child is growing with his or her education, we couldn’t be more appreciative. In fact, we’d like to show you just how thankful we are for your endorsements. Now when you tell other parents about our school, you can become a Chesterbrook Academy Ambassador.
For every new child you refer who enrolls at our school for three months, you’ll receive one FREE week of tuition for your child.
It’s our way of saying thanks for doing what comes naturally – singing the praises of your child and sharing your experiences with the Chesterbrook Academy difference. If you have any questions about how you can become a Chesterbrook Academy Ambassador, please contact an administrator.
