From the Principal's Desk
CGE Families,
I hope all of you enjoyed your week free of homework, packing lunches, and the daily rush to get to school before 7:55 AM. Spring Break is always such an important pause in the school year. It allows students and staff to recharge and get ready to finish strong. As we return to school tomorrow there are less than 40 school days left in the 2022-2023 academic year. As usual, there will be a lot packed into these few days. You play such an important role during this time of year. We need your support as we begin end-of-year testing, class, and grade annual festivities and programs. This time of year is always stressful but it will be over in a blink of an eye. Chatham Grove is blessed with such great students and families. Thank you for all you do and I look forward to working with you as we all transition back to school.
Steven D. Hayes
Interim Principal
