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.
Sincerely,
Christina Durish, Principal
Yasmine Newsome, Assistant Principal

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. Registration Opens March 15th! More details coming soon.
Health and Safety Measures
The health and safety of our children and families is always our highest priority.

Visit our school website to learn more information.
