Learning is alive at Chapin! Students have settled into their classrooms and teachers are providing engaging lessons on a daily basis. Questions you might consider asking your child about their school day might include::
· Did you earn any ROAR tickets? How- what did you do to earn the ticket(s)?
· What did you read or was read to you in school today? What did you like about the story?
· What did you learn about in Math today? Did you understand it? Can you show me what you learned?
· Do you need me to sign anything for you to return tomorrow?
During the months of October and November, the themes for our Mindful Monday Initiative have been Patience and Cooperation. We remind and encourage students to demonstrate patience and cooperation with themselves and others. Academic growth and success for all students at Chapin Street School is of utmost importance and as such we have started Data Teams to discuss student progress that will assist us to determine the best way to support both academic and emotional needs. As in the past, all identified student needs will be supported through our Tiered Supports.
We would appreciate your consideration to be an active member of the PTO. The PTO is an integral part of our Chapin family as it provides enhancements to our students’ learning opportunities at school. Because of the generous support of the PTO the 3rd grade students recently attended their yearly art field trip to the Springfield Museums. We are also in the process of installing a SMARTBoard in a 2nd grade classroom that will help to enhance technology options for students.
We appreciate the strong home and school connection established at Chapin Street School and look forward to continuing to build on this relationship to benefit our students.
Sincerely,
Nikki Reed
Principal
