Principal's Message
Welcome to our first full week of school! We are so excited to celebrate it with plenty of beautiful weather and outdoor recess.
We are looking forward to our 1st-5th Back To School Night this Thursday. At the main campus, we have decided to try a different open house format that is more interactive and child-driven. Please accompany your students to their classrooms (we will not be offering childcare) and they will be helping to show you around their room and the school. The PTA will be selling pizza outside near the garden from 5:30 to 8:00. Our building will open at 6:30 and you can join us anytime after that. We will be ending at 7:30.
Please keep in mind that this is a time to get a vibrant snapshot of your student's school life. If you need a more in-depth conversation with a teacher, counselor, or administrator, we would be happy to make an appointment with you. Please be on the lookout for our TAG Information Night date in the next Chimney Flyer.
Our neighbors request that drivers dropping off or picking up students follow respectful practices and not hinder access to driveways. Remember that drivers MUST stay at the wheel at our drop-off zones. These spots should be used for no more than 5 minutes.

Mindfulness for Parents
Join Chapman School Counselor Ariel Frager every third Friday immediately following Roundup for an introduction to mindfulness. We will learn about the mindfulness program at Chapman as well as useful mindfulness based parenting strategies. We will meet for about 30 minutes in Room 19 starting this Friday September 15, 2017.
I hope to see you this Friday,
Ariel
Chapman Family Directory
To all Chapman Families, new and returning! Please remember to fill out the online form if you'd like to be included in the Chapman Family Directory. It will only take a few minutes. The directory is a resource for families to connect with one another, and is to be used exclusively by the Chapman community. (You should have received a paper form about this in your back-to-school packet.) Options include a printed directory ($5) or digital access (free!). The directory is only as good as the info supplied, and only those families who fill out the form will be included! Even if you already filled out the form last year, you will need to do so again for the current school year. Thanks to those of you who have already completed it, and the deadline for submitting info will be end of September.
