Chester Elementary School News
For the Week of October 12, 2020
Schedules will Change October 26- Return to School
Hello Chester Elementary Families,
Changes are coming!
For those of you who were not able to join us, our Plumas County Board of Education (PCOE) and Plumas Unified School District (PUSD) Governing Board Trustees conducted a meeting on Wednesday, October 7th, and action was taken to transition to an in-person AM/PM instructional model effective Monday, October 26, 2020. We will still offer distance learning and independent study for those who prefer alternative instructional models.
Please know we hear the challenges, concerns and stress that many of you are experiencing. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we endeavor through the incredible hurdles together. We will honor this process and everyone doing their part to ensure safety is our top priority.
We look forward to your children and our students returning to in-person instruction, if that is your choice.
A few questions that may come up:
- Will children in the same family be on the same schedule? YES!
- Will there be transportation? Yes, there will be transportation provided for the PM session.
- Will my children have work to do at home? Yes, the model is a half day in person with asynchronous learning when they are not on campus. The combined times will equal the instructional minutes required by the state.
- Will my child eat on campus? No, the food service is grab and go. Therefore students in the AM will take breakfast/lunch home with them and the PM students will take their grab and go which includes breakfast and lunch for the following day. We ask that the students eat at home. There will be a short recess and snack time during their time on campus.
- What is the schedule? AM Session is 8:10-10:50 and PM Session is 12:20-3:00.
- Will I need to sign anything? Yes, there will be new forms that families sign for this new model. These forms will be available for the families that are returning to in person learning the week of 10/19. The school will send information when they are available.
- Will my student need to wear a mask and social distance? Yes.
We want to open and stay open. The district has protocols to follow for screening everyone on campus and protocols for students/staff are sick or show symptoms of Covid-19. If your child is ill or showing any symptoms, we will require that they stay at home. (See the two documents that follow the Enrollment Form for October.)
There is more information on the following form found on the button below. This form must be to completed by Tuesday, 10/13. ALL FAMILIES ARE ASKED TO COMPLETE THIS. If you have questions please call or email the school.
With Flexibility and Grace,
Colly Fischer

Student Support Services
Greetings!
My name is Angie Moreau (previously Nelson) and I am the Student Services Coordinator (SSC) for the Chester schools. As an SSC, I am able to help provide social-emotional support, skill building, conflict resolution, and other needs that arise to help support our students. I also help to coordinate services and assist in connecting our students and families to those services. Lastly, I help to keep our students warm and cozy with CES’s emergency winter closet.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, needs that arise or if you just want to say hello. You can reach me at: amoreau@pcoe.k12.ca.us to schedule a meeting (virtual options available) or phone call at 258-3194 ext. 1245. I am available Mondays (8-11) and Tuesdays (8-4).
I hope you are all doing well and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Angie Moreau
