Cheetah Chatter Parent Update
Chapel District Elementary School June 11th-18th
Last Day for Students 6/17, iPad Collection, PTO Student Gifts
Hello, Chapel Families-
We made it to the last week of school! Just a reminder that the final day for students in grades K-5 is June 17th, which is a 12:20 p.m. early dismissal. Also, we will be collecting student iPads, chargers, textbooks, and any other school materials (whiteboards, letter boards, manipulatives) used during virtual learning. Any students attending summer school may hold on to their iPad. iPads need to be inventoried and updated with new software prior to next school year. iPad collection will be as follows:
- Pre-K: June 10th and 11th (iPads and chargers)
- K-5: June 14th and 15th (iPads and chargers)
- Virtual students will need to drop off their iPads and chargers to the front office either on 6/17 or 6/18.
In addition, letters will be sent home with current CDES students in grades PK to 4th on the last day of school (6/17), outlining their homeroom teacher for the 2021-2022 school year. Students will ONLY receive this letter if their iPad, charger, and any other school materials have been returned to the school. Class lists have already been completed for next year and a reminder that we do not take parent requests. Sending letters home with students on the last day of school saves CDES significantly with postage costs, which also saves taxpayer money! :)
Our PTO will be sending a small end of the year gift home with students on the last day of school. Our virtual students may pick up their gift when they return their iPads and materials to school on 6/17 and 6/18. Thank you to our PTO for their generosity!
Our 5th grade students will participate in end of year activities, which include the following:
- June 14th: 9:45 a.m. 5th Grade Awards Program (Zoom link will be emailed to 5th grade parents to watch live, as our awards program is for students only), PM- Boxed lunch, outdoor celebration activities (Rain date June 15th for PM activities)
- June 16th: 10:00-11:00 a.m. 5th Grade Drive Thru Celebration (Decorating of 5th grade CDES families' cars encouraged!)
Yearbooks have arrived! We have additional copies on sale for $20 a yearbook. If you would like a copy, flyers have gone home for you to indicate your child's name and homeroom teacher. Please send in this order form and money or stop by the office to buy one.
Our LAST PK/Kindergarten registration date is June 21st from 9:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Please call 410-822-2391 to book your appointment time, as this is our LAST registration date!
Let's finish the last week of the 2020-2021 school year #CDESSTRONG!

Hot Spots for 5th Graders Need to Be Returned!
Assigned hot spots to 5th grade students will need to be returned to CDES before students move on to 6th grade at EMS! Students in other grade levels may keep their assigned hot spot for over the summer and next school year.
A reminder that a hot spot will only work if you have at least 3 bars of cell service at your home. If you are in need of a hot spot, please contact Mrs. Palmer (apalmer@talbotschools.org) or Dr. Clow (kari.clow@talbotschools.org).
