A Message from the Principal:
Hello CBA Families!
We have many activities planned for June: Please keep track of all important dates below.
Our theme for the month is “Imagination at Play”. The weekly topics will consist of: Pirates, Knights& Castles, The Wild, Wild West, and Robots.
Summer transition- We will let you know if your child will be moving to the next room by June 10. There may be very little summer transition due to the enrollment of our school. Please be aware that all classrooms will be doing a summer review to make sure your child is ready for the next classroom. However, we will be having a large fall transition for the school year because the Pk-2 class will be moving on to Kindergarten.
It is my commitment to support the needs of your children, your families, and the school. It is my passion to see your children succeed and thrive in their educational environment. If you have any questions or concerns, my door is always open and you can email me at Adrienne.nwude@nlcinc.com.
Again, thank you for the continued support.

Summer time shoes- Please make sure your child has closed toe shoes at school. Also, bring your child’s sunscreen lotion, and hats for outside.
Make sure your child is here at 9:00am for the start of school every day so that they don’t miss out on field trips, classroom enrichment, and nature walks.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, CBA is a NUT FREE zone!! What that means is we can’t have any products that have nuts in them, made with nut oil, may contain nut or nut residues, or packaged in a plant that processes peanut/ tree nuts. Please read the very last line of all of the ingredients. Please understand for some of our children this is a life and death situation! I thank you for your understanding.
**We do have a late pick up policy that is stated on your fee schedule. Our hours of operation are 630am-630pm, if your child is picked up after that time, you must pay the late pickup fee.
** Reminders: Chesterbrook Academy requires a two week notice on vacation requests and a four week notice for withdrawals. If your child is in the PK2 class please remember to turn in your withdrawal notice.
**A gentle reminder that payment is due the Friday before the following week! If payment is received after Monday, a late payment fee of $25 will be assessed. Thank you!
Thank you,
Adrienne & Lauren
