CBA Elementary Lion Link 🐾
Your link between home and school | January 19, 2024
Dear Chesterbrook Academy Elementary Families,
We hope you enjoyed your snow day! Thank you for bearing with us through the bumpy weather over the past two weeks! We appreciate your flexibility as we navigated flooded roadways, downed trees, icy roads and our first measurable snow in over 700 days! We know it causes some frustration with varying work schedules and commutes for our families and we do our best to make decisions in the best of our entire school community.
Despite the delays and snow days, our priority re-enrollment is off to a great star, with over 30% of our CBA families re-enrolling in the first two days! We thank you for your trust! As a reminder, please be sure to re-enroll now if you haven't yet, to ensure your student's spot in the 2024-2025 school year! Re-enrollment can be done right through the Campus Connect portal! #unleashthelionwithin

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
