Good Afternoon CHES Families,

As June gets closer and my time as your principal winds down, I just wanted to reach out and say a huge thank you.

Your kind words since I announced my retirement have meant the world to me. But mostly, I am just so grateful for your support and partnership over the years. Thank you for trusting me with your kids and for making CHES such a wonderful place to come to work every day.

I’m going to miss the high-fives, fist bumps, and the morning waves, but I’m leaving with the best memories. Thank you for everything!

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.

• 5th grade promotion ceremony - Save the Date! May 27

• Earn cash for our school!  By linking your Kroger Plus/Shopper’s card to Clover Hill Elementary School, a portion of any qualifying purchase you make is donated to CHES.  These funds help support your students.  More information at: https://www.kroger.com/i/community/community-rewards

• 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.
