Dear Chesterbrook Academy Elementary Families,
We had such a wonderful day on Saturday for our Open House and Community Egg Hunt! We truly appreciate every opportunity to get our school community together! Thank you to all who joined us for the festivities!
Congratulations to each and every one of our Talent Show performers in this morning's CBA in Our Era Talent Show. We are so incredibly proud of their bravery, hard word, dedication and enthusiasm for perfecting their acts. They have practiced for weeks in order to make sure that they are ready to go for the big show and boy did it pay off! A big thank you to Ms. Millstein and Ms. Aber for their direction and vision! One more to Ms. Benson who made good on her promise to kiss a frog as part of this year's PAC Penny Wars!
Don't forget! We are pleased to announce our upcoming Boys Boardwalk Festival Night, The Ultimate Game Night Under the "Son" Plus One! This is a fun game night for all boys from Pre-K through 5th Grade and their mom or another loved one of their choosing. Held on Friday, April 12th, the event is sure to be a Splash!

๐ถ๏ธ Summer Camp at CBA ๐
Join us for School-Age Summer Camp
At our summer camps, we measure time not in minutes but in moments. Like the moment your child jumps for joy when scoring their first goal. The look on their face when the rocket they built actually launches. The thrill of performing on a stage, solving a math challenge, or creating digital art. Epic moments like these happen all summer long at our day camps, sports camps, specialty camps, and academic camps. This is the place where epic moments happen!
We require all students to wear a school uniform unless otherwise directed.
- Daily Uniform: Girls and boys should wear a green or blue polo shirt with khaki shorts/pants/skirt.
- PE Uniform: PE t-shirt and mesh shorts or sweatpants with sneakers are required on PE days.
- Shoes & Socks: On Daily Uniform days, students must wear brown shoes with white, green or blue socks. Students should wear sneakers on PE days.
**Please note, students should not wear Ugg boots to school**
Sick Policy
Sick Policy
Families assist us in maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all our Children by keeping sick Children at home. The purpose of our sick child policy is to:
- Reduce the spread of illness from a sick Child to other Children and members of School staff.
- Promote complete recuperation of the sick Child.
- Prevent the constant spread of cold, flu and diarrhea and other communicable diseases that are common among small children.
Children who become ill at school will be made comfortable and families will be notified to pick them up within one hour. Families must keep sick children at home until they have been symptom-free for at least 24 hours* if they display any of the following:
- Fever of 100.4 degrees or more. Children must be free of fever for at least 24 hours, unassisted by fever-reducing medication before returning to school.
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Sore Throat
- Skin Rash
- Head Lice
- Heavy nasal discharge requiring frequent wiping every 3-5 minutes
- Persistent, non-productive or barking cough
- Fussy, cranky behavior unlike the Child
- Symptoms of communicable disease such as pink eye, measles, chicken pox, mumps, or strep throat
