Intent to Return
Hi Bobcat Families,
Thank you to the families who have filled this out already. If you haven't filled out the Intent to Return form (linked below), please do so as soon as possible. As I begin to look at numbers for next year for creating classes, it is vital that I have accurate numbers. Please fill one out for each child that is CURRENTLY in Kindergarten through 5th Grade. If you have a TK child, please fill out the Kindergarten enrollment form linked HERE
If you know any new incoming TK or Kindergarten families, please direct them to the enrollment form above. I am giving school tours every Thursday at noon to any potential new Bobcats.
Sunday Reminder to Charge those Devices
Here's a reminder to have your child charge their laptop and get it in their backpack. It's a good habit to get into the routine doing this each Sunday so students have devices ready to go for the week.
Restaurant Night: Polly's Pies: Thursday
Join us for some Pie on Pi Day where 20% of the proceeds come back to Chapman Hills. You can bring this picture of the flyer or click on the attached pdf
Yearbook Information
NEW - Entryway is (nearly) Complete
Our grounds crew is nearing completion, but doesn't it look great! Thank you to Mrs. Merha for having the vision to change the entryway. We just have a few more finishing touches, but I appreciate the hard work of our grounds crew for doing an amazing job!
We would really appreciate it if we can keep the children off the rocks and away from the plants so they don't get stepped on or damage the sprinkler system. We appreciate your support!
NEW - Letter from the Editor
Last Thursday, Chapman Hills was honored to have a former student be our Principal of the Day. Clint Hurdle, Class of 2010, is a private pilot jet-setting celebrities around the country. He is also a former student of mine which makes it all the more special. I write this because of how much I love this school and how I value the connections I have made over the two decades being at Chapman Hills. You never truly know what kind of an impact you make on students' lives until they reach out to you years later updating you on their life. I encourage students to keep in contact with their school(s) as they get older. We put so much of our hearts into teaching our students that we want to hear how they are doing.
