Dear Chesterbrook Academy families,
February was a great month at our school! In anticipation of spring, our teachers are busy planning meaningful learning activities that will help students gain an appreciation for the changing seasons. In order to make the most of the next few months we will be spending extra time outdoors so our students can interact with nature. Please make sure your child has weather appropriate outerwear for school each day.
Week of the Young Child
Week of the Young Child is April 12th-16th. We have many fun activities planned all week for Music Monday, Tasty Tuesday, Work Together Wednesday, Artsy Thursday and Family Friday!
We will send more information via Links 2 Home soon.
Summer Camp
We’re designing the perfect summer camp for your child complete with all the fun, enriching activities they love, and the important safety measures you expect !
Earth Day 2021
Our classes will be celebrating Earth Day on April 22 by releasing ladybugs and planting flowers. We can’t wait to share photos on Links 2 Home!
Sincerely,
Christina Durish, Principal
Yasmine Newsome, Assistant Principal

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!
Parent Referral Bonus
Do you know anyone that has recently had a baby, relocated to the area, or is seeking a new preschool for their child? We are always happy to meet the friends of our current families, and offer a free week of tuition for any current parent referral that enrolls in our school. See the front desk for details!
Your Opinion Matters!
Our parent survey is launching soon and we’d appreciate you spending a few minutes to take the survey. Please let us know if you do not receive it!
Love our school? Leave us a review
In today’s connected world, many families turn to online reviews to learn more about schools for their children. That is why we are asking you to take a few minutes to visit our school profile on Yelp, Google or GreatSchools to share the wonderful experiences you have had with our school. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!
