Updates and Information

REMINDER for Volunteers and Chaperones

You must complete a new iChat form EVERY school year to volunteer at school or chaperone a field trip. Thank you!!

Student Safety

As we head further into fall and our mornings get darker, I want to remind all of our drop off parents to be mindful of our student walkers and bikers as you drive in in the mornings. And to our families who have walkers and bike riders, please help remind your child to use caution as h/she heads to school. Reflectors on bikes and clothing would be a great benefit!

Attendance Protocol Reminder

As we head into the end of our first trimester, I'd like to take a minute to remind everyone about the importance of being in school and on time each day.

From our school handbook:

Quality education is the primary goal of the Chelsea School District. Regular attendance is a vital part of attaining this goal. Students are required to be at school and in class on time. Students arriving after 8:00 AM will be considered tardy.

Students should not be dropped off prior to 7:40 AM as there is no adult supervision until then. After school, students should be picked up by 3:00 PM.

The office will send letters to parents after ten (10) absences and/or multiple, excessive tardies per trimester. (A tardy due to late buses is excused.) Prolonged illness or other extenuating circumstances, cleared through the principal’s office, will serve as the exception to this rule. After 5 consecutive days of a medical absence, a doctor’s note may be required upon return to school.
