Thank you Room 6

Hello Pioneers! Here is a message from our Principal:


Dear Parents/Guardians: Happy April


We would like to remind all of our families to please obey all traffic laws and safety rules when picking up your children after school. It is also important for parents to reinforce with our children good safety practices and following the law when crossing the street, including walking their bikes in crosswalks and on campus.  Parents, please always use the crosswalk when crossing the street.  


We are happy to announce that this month CFFA is presenting Bollywood Night again at Chadbourne. This is a great family event for our entire school population.  I hope to see you there!


I hope you all have a wonderful Spring Break.  Students please take time to rest and hopefully enjoy some lovely Spring weather. 


April begins our annual SBAC Testing for grades 3 - 6.  Students will start testing April 19th and go through May 12th.  Teachers will let you know their specific schedules when it gets closer.  Please remember to make sure your child gets plenty of sleep and healthy meals during this time.  Also remember that a healthy breakfast is very important. We want our students to have “fuel” for their minds every day. I’ve seen how hard our students are working in their classrooms and I know they are well prepared for the upcoming testing period. Thank you, parents, for the educational support you are giving to your children by helping them with homework and studying, as well as making sure they are turning in their assignments and are well rested. Your support and attention makes such a huge difference to their success!

 

Again, we would like to remind all of our families that the afternoon valet service at Chadbourne will remain closed. Please obey all traffic laws and safety rules when picking up your children after school. It is also important for parents to reinforce with our children good safety practices and following the law when crossing the street.  Parents, please always use the crosswalk when crossing the street.  Every time.

 

Happy Spring!

 

Mrs. Pedrotti – Principal

Fall 2023 – 2024 Continuing Student Enrollment—Reservation Form/Proof of Residency

Will be Mailed Home 1/27/2023          

Please watch for a “FALL 2023-2024 Reservation/Registration Form” to be mailed home soon for each student currently enrolled in TK – 6th grade.   The form will not be handed out to parents and serves 2 purposes:  it reserves a spot for your child next year at Brookvale and also fulfills the District’s mandated annual residency verification via USPS. 

Please don’t mistake the form for junk mail and toss it out!  

For students who will be moving on to junior high school next year, Brookvale will collect the form and communicate with Thornton to confirm a space will be reserved at Thornton for next year.

By submitting the required form and Residency Proofs by February 24th, your child will be reserved a space for next year.

*The forms must be returned to the school that your student is currently attending; if you have a student overloaded to another elementary school, please return it there.  TK students attending Brookvale with a different Home School will return it to Brookvale. 

 To view the “Continuing Student Timeline” please visit the FUSD 2023-2024 Enrollment webpage:
