Dear Parents,
We sure had a lot of fun this summer, but as usual it went by way too fast. We are excited to announce that we raised over $400 for Alex’s Lemonade stand to fight childhood cancer. In just 2 weeks we will begin our 2024/2025 school year journey. On that note, you should have already received a notice regarding our upcoming Meet & Greet events, 8/5-8/8 from 5-6 pm, with varying days* depending on your child’s classroom and program. We schedule this Meet & Greet event, so parents and children have an opportunity to visit the school, meet their new teacher and learn more about our curriculum. You will receive a classroom Teacher bio, and an opportunity to meet the facilitators for Computer Kids and Amazing Athletes. Mark your calendar!
August kicks off our 15th school year serving children and families in Port St. Lucie! We are very excited about the many new families joining our school community and appreciate the commitment and trust our long-term families have shown us since opening our doors. Our students who have graduated are well prepared for what lies ahead in their educational journey, and we look forward to hearing about all their success in kindergarten. This year we have over 20 new families joining our school. Chesterbrook Academy is truly the place to be if you want your child prepared for kindergarten. Our Links to Learning curriculum is meeting each child’s needs, and our teachers are implementing it beautifully!
Traditionally, quite a bit of information is sent home during the beginning of the school year regarding school policies, schedules, tuition obligations, security, attendance, upcoming events, and more. Please be sure to collect any information that is in the lobby, or in your child’s classroom file or cubby. During the school year, parent information will be updated regularly on our school website as well as through our Links 2 Home daily email communication. Our mission is to keep you connected with all that is going on in your child’s classroom and school community.
Together, we embark on yet another year of learning fun! Thank you for choosing Chesterbrook Academy for your child’s early education.
Best regards,
Jennifer Castillo, Principal

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
- Green runny nose
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 second business day of every month will automatically receive a late fee of $30. If tuition is not paid in full by the 5th 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: In September, enrichments will be starting again with Amazing Athletes and Computer Classes. The cost for Computer Kids is $65 per month for a 30-minute session on Mondays once per week. The cost for Amazing Athletes is $70 per month for a 30-minute session on Wednesdays once per week.
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.
