Chester Elementary Newsletter
Week of January 11, 2021
Happy 2021!
Hello Chester Elementary Families,
Monday, Jan. 18, is Martin Luther King's Birthday. His message of practicing empathy and tolerance hits home today, considering the events of the past week. Acceptance is a fundamental character trait to show respect. Both of these traits are part of our Monday Meetings, which are so important for our students. I am proud that CES teachers hold Monday Morning Meetings each week. The work that they do for this is so important. Thank you teachers for making this happen!
Our Trustees will look at all the factors regarding return to in person at the next board meeting and make a decision then.
- Board meeting is on January 13, 2021 at 5pm.
- Potential return to in person half day model on 1/25/21 will be decided.
Even in remote learning, CES still offers Library, Music and Art for the students. This coordination is not easy and we appreciate Miss Mary, Miss Hillary and Mrs. Brown for making these extras happen. Don't forget that you can check out books from the library on our website!
Keep up the hard work! Remember that each day has live instruction and independent work. The independent work is a very important part of the daily routine. This builds skills, independence, and responsibility in the students. Please be sure your students are completing all their independent work after the Zoom classes are done.
- Have your child logging on to their Zoom class 5 minutes prior to the start. For most of you that is 8:25. That way teachers can get every minute of learning with your child.
- Pick up and drop off your packets on Mondays!
- Communicate with the teacher as things come up, we are all problem solvers and are very flexible.
Stay Healthy,
Colly Fischer
