From the Principal’s Office
Dear Parents,
This month we are focusing on gratitude and connecting with others. Though we cannot hold our normal Thanksgiving community meal this year we have many special activities planned for our students and are looking forward to sharing photos with you all on Links 2 Home. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Also, we will be collecting gift and food items for the Families Helping Families & Harvest Hope Food Bank for our annual community project for the month. Details for Families Helping Families will be provided next week and there will be collection boxes outside under the carport for Harvest Hope. Please include your children in this process, whether you have your child help shop for the items, or have them place the goods in the box. We will be speaking with the children in class and circle time about helping others throughout the holiday season.
In addition, it is beginning to get cooler outside and actually feel like fall! Please make sure that your little one has a jacket each day as we go outside every day as the weather permits us.
Tara Clerc,
Principal

Reminders For Parents
Illness Policy: Our parents are vital partners in helping us to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the students in our school. The most important thing you can do to assist us in creating a healthy environment is to keep your child home if they are ill. This reduces the spread of illness and allows your child to fully recuperate. For more information please see our Parent Handbook or reach out to a member of our administrative team.
Tuition: Payments are due every Monday by 12 noon. Late fees will be automatically applied to accounts at close of business on Monday’s. Unpaid tuition, more than a week past due, will result in immediate dis-enrollment. If you have any questions, please contact Tara, Andrea, or Ramona. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Automatic Payment Program/ALMA Online: Parents this is a very easy way for you to not worry about writing checks every week and avoiding late fees. APP/ALMA can be used to pay all tuition invoices from your checking or savings account or with a credit card (VISA, MasterCard or Discover w/2% processing fee). Please contact Tara, Andrea, or Ramona for details and information on getting signed up.
Contact Information: Please be sure that all home, work, cell and pager numbers and any other contact information is up to date in your child’s file. This helps the staff at Chesterbrook have every available option to contact the parent(s) in the event of an emergency.
