Dear Chapman Hill Families,

As we approach the end of the school year, I have spent time reflecting on this past year. From starting the school year in the middle of a pandemic and raging wildfires, to navigating online learning with often glitchy internet, and then returning to in-person learning but with many rules and restrictions. We (you and us!) have modeled resilience for our students – they have watched us continue to move forward with grit and grace. I hope that more than anything else they remember about this year, they remember that we persevered. We did not quit when things were hard; we figured out a way to address the problem and kept learning. This is what we want our students to take with them – not fear, but tenacity. We can do hard things! Still….I’m looking forward to a more “normal” year next year, and I’ll bet you are, too!

It’s time to complete the registration/enrollment verification process for the 2021-22 school year! Completing this process early ensures our district can best prepare for staffing.

Please call the office with any questions. 503-399-3195

You will need to register through ParentVue.

There will be NO online classes that last week of school (June 14-17). No PE/Music or Literacy online. Students can bring their Chromebooks to return on either of their cohort days.

As more students and staff return to in-person learning, face coverings are required when in a Salem-Keizer Public Schools building, with situational exceptions. All employees, students and visitors must continue to wear a face covering indoors, this includes sporting events.

All students, staff, volunteers and visitors are not required to wear face coverings outdoors. This includes, but is not limited to: athletic events, outdoor PE, outdoor music, recess and arrival & dismissal. Until additional updates are provided, all physical distancing and other related requirements still apply.

If a student needs a face covering, the school has them available for students.

It is very important that parents keep their contact information current.

Be sure to let your school office know if you have a new address, email or phone number.

The parent or guardian marked as the primary contact in the student information system will receive automated communication.

Messages will also be sent to the student’s home phone number contained in the database, if different from the primary contact phone number.

Through the Oregon Health Plan, youth 19 years of age and younger have access to free health coverage, regardless of immigration status if they meet the income requirements.

More information, including income requirements and how to apply for coverage, is available online.

Enrolling your child in school early allows our school to prepare for the best possible education. Although the district will not know how school may look next fall, enrolling early, your kindergarten students are sure to thrive with the support of trained educators with in-person and online learning options.

Children who will be 5-years-old on or before September 10, 2021 are eligible to register for free, full-day kindergarten with SKPS. Learn more about how to complete online registration on our district website.

To complete registration, you will need an updated record of your child’s immunizations, proof of residence and your proof of age with you to register.

We welcome all students, regardless of nationality or place of birth. To learn more about kindergarten registration, how to prepare your child for school and Salem-Keizer Public Schools, please visit our district website.
