We are excited to have a "Little Lending Library" at our school. This lending library was donated by Bettie Weaver Elementary School's PTA. The books are free for students to keep!! We ask that if possible, when a book is taken that it's replaced with another used book. We will work to keep the library stocked. If you have any gently used books that you'd like to donate, please drop them off at our school.

Reminders
Reminders:
- You MUST pull all the way through the student drop off line in the morning. Listen to the directions of the staff members on the drop off line. They are trying to ensure that our process is smooth and safe.
- Additionally, there will be no parking until 8:30 once morning drop off has concluded. We will ask you to move your vehicle.
Remember to complete the online volunteer form if you would like to volunteer in our building. We would love to have more family volunteers!!
Attendance: Remember to call the school at (804) 674 - 1300 to report an absence. Data shows that students who are chronically absent in kindergarten and first grade are less likely to read proficiently by 3rd grade. #AttendanceMatters
- Do not arrive to parent drop off in the morning prior to 8:00. Early arrival congests traffic on Turner Road as parents who arrive within the recommended window are backed into the road. We do not let students into the building until 8:10. Students are not permitted to be dropped off prior to 8:10 as there is no one to supervise them.
- Stay in the know about transportation by visiting the CCPS transportation page. Click on this link.
We are looking forward to seeing our Chalkley Roadrunners tomorrow! Remember, #WeRUNasONE! #BeTheDifference
