Good Afternoon CHES Families,

Thank you for a fun end of year party, CHES PTA!  Families, staff, and students had a blast!!  

We will have a fire and lockdown DRILL on Monday, 5/18.  

Join us for the last PTA General Meeting of the school year when the 2026-2027 PTA Officers will be elected. Mrs. Andersen will be going over the School Climate Survey, too. Meeting is Tuesday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m. via Google Meet. Here's the link: https://meet.google.com/ecp-yvcq-uaz

Yearbooks are here! All pre-sale orders have been delivered to students. We have a limited number of yearbooks still available, so don’t wait to order yours here. Sales close May 20, while supplies last. Purchased yearbooks will be delivered to your student’s classroom on May 22.  https://cloverhillelementary.givebacks.com/shop/items/21d2830c7ab6

Unity Day Volunteers Needed: We are looking for parent volunteers to support classrooms during our upcoming Unity Day on Thursday, May 28th. Volunteers will assist teachers with student supervision and materials during activities from 12:00–3:00 PM. You will not be expected to lead activities and will remain with your assigned class throughout the event. You will not be guaranteed to be with your own child's class, but we will try to accommodate this! Your support helps make Unity Day a meaningful and positive experience for our students, and we truly appreciate your willingness to help. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete the Google Form linked HERE.

• Five minutes have been added to the beginning and end of each day for the remainder of the year to make up for instructional time lost due to weather. CHES car rider drop off will begin at 7:55am.  Dismissal for car riders will begin at 3:00pm.  Any transportation changes must continue to be before 2:30pm by phone.    Parent Drop off will close at 8:20am in order for students to have enough time to be in their classroom at 8:25am.

• Please help us keep our students safe during parent drop-off.    We have noticed an increase in students hanging out of windows and sunroofs while cars are moving in the drop off line. For their safety, we kindly ask that all children remain seated and buckled in until your vehicle has come to a complete stop at the designated drop-off point. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe environment for everyone.

• Here is a link to directions to get students logged into any device at home to access learning apps through RI and Backpack: Accessing Learning Apps at Home

• Please send in a hand-written note if you need to change your child’s transportation. We ask that you not show up in the car rider line without first sending in a note. We cannot make changes at dismissal time. 

• Any transportation changes must be made by phone no later than 2:30pm.  

• Any early pick ups must be before 2:30pm.   

• Whenever you or someone authorized to pick up your child comes into the office, a physical identification card must be presented.  An image of an ID card will not be accepted.
