PARENT NETWORKING
- Please join Chartwell Family Network for the first official Chartwell Parent Night! Come to have fun, share a few laughs, and get to know your fellow parents!
- Dawn Alva and Paul Gokey, parents of Bryce, are hosting the event at their winery in Marina. This is at an industrial park where over 7 wineries produce their wine (a few local labels you will recognize). It will be a truly unique experience. So dress warmly, you never know about Marina weather, and come experience a warehouse winery. We will have an option for non-drinkers too, so do not stay home just because you don’t like wine. :)
- Where: 3344 Paul Davis Drive, Marina CA 93933
- When: Saturday, March 23, 4 to 7 PM
- Please RSVP to Dawn at 650-740-0717 so we are sure to have enough nibbles.
UCSF PARTNERSHIPS
You can still join the study!
The Dyslexia Center is led by Dr. Marilu Gorno Tempini. https://dyslexia.ucsf.edu/
The Dyslexia Center is involved in the Phenotyping Study; this is the portion of the study where students go to the Sandler Neurosciences Center at UCSF for the fMRI, emotions testing, and a visual-spatial assessment. Also part of the study are assessments that are administered with UCSF staff at Chartwell. These assessments are scheduled after the UCSF visit. You can complete an application for this phenotyping study. Swati Sudarsan, the lab coordinator, will contact you when she receives your application.
The second part of the study is the Program for Research on Neurodevelopmental and Translational Outcomes. "Outcomes" is led by Dr. Bob Hendren, with the UCSF Department of Psychiatry. Jessica Wahlberg is the Clinical Research Coordinator. She would like you to contact her to consent to the outcomes study which is the follow-up study to monitor strategies implemented by school based on the results of the study. She has asked that you respond to Felicia.widjaja@ucsf.edu or jessica.wahlberg@ucsf.edu to provide consent.

TRACK
Track season has begun at Chartwell! Batya Fields and Topher Mueller will coach and supervise the students - with John Lukin's help as athletic director.
PRACTICES will be during the school day lunch recess on Mondays and Wednesdays. Here, students will learn field events, relays, and strategies for sprint and long distance.
We'll also offer OPTIONAL Thursday after school practices until 4:30PM (when there are no meets) starting next week the 28th. If you are interested in this, you must reply before this weekend. My hope here is that students may have access to the CSUMB track, though that is not yet guaranteed.
TRACK MEETS are on Thursday and Fridays, and we will be able to transport the team after school, or you may drive them.
