Other Tidbits
- House shirts will be distributed this week. We want all students to wear their shirts each Friday starting this week. #WeRUNasONE
- Remember to send your child with sneakers on his/her gym day. All students must wear closed toe shoes everyday. Students are not permitted to wear slippers, house shoes, or slides to school.
- If you haven't registered your Kroger Plus Card at Kroger to help raise money for Chalkley, it's not too late. Click on the handout below for more information. It's free and easy!
Attendance Matters
The below message was included in a previous newsletter. We are including it again because we want to emphasize the importance of students being at school everyday and on time.
In an effort to encourage our families to get our students to school each day and on time, we have established a Winter Attendance Market. Families qualified to shop at our Winter Attendance Market if their child(ren) missed less than four days of school through November 21st. We had 529 students who qualified for this great incentive. Congratulations to those students and families!!
If you weren't one of the 529 who qualified, it's okay because we will be hosting a Spring Attendance Market. Now is the time to put a reset on establishing good attendance habits. Please let us know how we can assist you with getting your student(s) to school each day and on time.
Remember to call the school at (804) 674 - 1300 to report an absence.

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!!
- 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
