Reminder:

As always, safety is our number one priority at Chatham Grove.  To this end, we will be holding an Emergency Preparedness Presentation for our community at 5:00 p.m. on February 7th in our media center.  This will be a repeat of the presentation we gave on September 20th, 2022.  We want to give everyone an additional opportunity to hear important safety information for our school.  Our plan is to have a virtual option to attend the training as well.  More information to come soon.
