The Chalkley Communicator
Family Edition - October 20, 2019
Greetings Chalkley Families,
It was another great week at Chalkley! Thank you to all of our K - 3 families for coming out to our first Parent Workshop of the year. We hope you enjoyed the content presented from our fabulous reading and math teams!
Friday, October 18th was the last day to submit payment for a House Shirt. If you submitted payment, we will be ordering shirts soon.
Please read below for important information.
Important Dates:
Fathers and Father Figures Join us on October 24th, 6:00 - 7:00 for our Watch D.O.G.S. Kickoff Event - We are excited to host another year of Watch D.O.G.S., which stands for Dads of Great Students. Don't be fooled by the title, however. Any positive male figure in your student's life can be a Watch D.O.G. He just needs to be at least eighteen years old. Watch D.O.G.S. is a safe schools initiative in which fathers or father figures come to Chalkley Elementary for one day this school year. If you cannot commit to an entire day, we are flexible and can accommodate half day schedules. We just want you here!! Pizza will be served!
October 30th, 6:30 - 8:30 - Join us at Skate - A - Way for our first Skate Night of the Year. Admission is $6.00 per person. Rental of quad skates is free. The school will receive a portion of the tickets sold. Please join us for a fun night of skating. We hope to see many of you there.

Reminders
Reminders:
- You MUST pull all the way through the student drop off line in the morning. Listen to the directions of the staff members on the drop off line. They are trying to ensure that our process is smooth and safe.
- Additionally, there will be no parking until 8:30 once morning drop off has concluded. We will ask you to move your vehicle.
Remember to complete the online volunteer form if you would like to volunteer in our building. We would love to have more family volunteers!!
Attendance: Remember to call the school at (804) 674 - 1300 to report an absence. Data shows that students who are chronically absent in kindergarten and first grade are less likely to read proficiently by 3rd grade. #AttendanceMatters
- Do not arrive to parent drop off in the morning prior to 8:00. Early arrival congests traffic on Turner Road as parents who arrive within the recommended window are backed into the road. We do not let students into the building until 8:10. Students are not permitted to be dropped off prior to 8:10 as there is no one to supervise them.
- Stay in the know about transportation by visiting the CCPS transportation page. Click on this link.
We are looking forward to seeing our Chalkley Roadrunners tomorrow! Remember, #WeRUNasONE! #BeTheDifference
