Chester Elementary School

Ms. Cardona's class celebrating Dr. Seuss' and Mr. Mac's birthday!
Thanks for joining us Mr. Mac! (CES Legend!)
Please turn your clocks an hour forward Sunday morning.
Greetings CES Families & Friends,
Spring Forward! Please remember to move your clocks an hour ahead on Sunday morning. We'll see everyone bright and early Monday morning, and will have more daylight after school!
March is designated as Women in History. Please check out the newsletter link below dedicated to women in history this month. There are many inspirational stories to hopefully motivate our young CES students! Thanks!
Please check out the summer opportunities for students through Spice Camp. Ms. Connie does a great job for us at CES, and I hear these camps are outstanding opportunities for young people.
Tech Savvy. Check out the links below from Josh at Smart Social. Hopefully this helps keep our students safe during their screen time.
Student health. We are working closely with our nurses and public health officials to monitor potential sicknesses, including flu and coronavirus. We are also taking extra precautions to sanitize our school each day. Although we want all of our students at school each day, if your child is not feeling well (ex fever, chills, vomiting, diarrhea, etc) please keep him/her home to get healthy and prevent exposure to other students and staff. Also, there's an informative 2 minute video from CBS's Dr. Lapook on the Corona virus. Thanks!
Our March character focus is Responsibility. I've provided a couple links below regarding some activities you can provide at home to help teach your child the importance of responsibility. Please check them out or other resources and have a conversation with your child this month about the importance of being responsible at home and at school. Thanks!
Ms. Tantardino's 5th graders are sponsoring a "Boon" sale. Please check out their link below.
CES PTA Read-a-thon. Thanks so much to all of you who participated and/or contributed! Our students are collecting money this week and will hopefully have everything turned in to their teacher or the office by the end of the week.
K-3 My Body Belongs To Me. Michelle Ridley with Plumas Crisis and Intervention Resource Center will provide a 30-40 minute presentation on March 26 to all of our K-3 students about protecting themselves. Please review the letter below. If you do not want your child to participate, please print out the letter, sign and return to your child's teacher.
Reading each night? 20 minutes/night. Send me your pictures and your favorite books and we'll put them in an upcoming newsletter!
In closing, we appreciate your ongoing support and teaming with us to make 2019-2020 an exceptional elementary experience for our students. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
