PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear Parents & Guardians:
Chico Unified School District is transitioning to a new parent communication system.
Our new Aeries Communication system will allow you, as the parent/guardian, to customize how you receive school messages. We encourage you to share both positive, and constructive, feedback. You can provide feedback by visiting the Chico Unified website.
As we test this new communication system, you may receive duplicate test messages (one from our existing communication system and one message from our new system); this is an effort to ensure the new system is reaching all of our parents.
How to Ensure You Receive School Communication, Information and Emergency Alerts: * Login to your Aeries Parent Portal and Confirm all Contact Information (Learn How)
* An opt-in message will be sent to all cell phones. If you wish to receive communication via text messages, then please make sure your text messaging option is enabled
* Provide feedback – we will be launching this communication system district-wide, so your feedback is an integral component of a successful implementation. We greatly appreciate any feedback you are willing to share with us.
We are very excited about this new program and hope that it will help us connect with you regarding important school events and information. If you have any questions, then please feel free to visit us in the main office or call Chico Unified School District at (530) 891-3000 ext. 149.
Thank you for participating, and we look forward to hearing your feedback.
Sincerely,
Dave McKay
Principal

UPCOMING DANCE
HANSEN'S HAMBURGERS
Mrs. Hansen’s writing class has been studying paragraph structure. Students talked about how paragraphs are similar to hamburgers in that they make claims and then have the great layers of evidence and support. For our fun Friday activity, students drew hamburgers to remember the proper structure of a paragraph. Great writing, pioneers!
