April 2017 News
from Chesterbrook Academy Elementary School @ Oaks
Prelude
I wanted to take this moment to thank everyone for the time afforded to collaborate through conferences. Curriculum is rigorous, projects are great, fun events are exciting but at the heart of helping our students achieve success is the strong partnerships with our families. I am always proud that 95-100% of our parents attend conferences each quarter. I am proud of our teachers for dedicating 12-14 hour days and I am proud of our parents for making sure that they commit the time to meet with their child’s teacher. Lastly, and most importantly, I am proud of our students. Each quarter, we set new goals with each of them and they put in the hard work to conquer each one.
A team approach is not underestimated at CBA! Congratulations, EVERYONE, on a fabulous 3rd quarter and I look forward to the exciting work to come in the next two months!
