Administration Monthly Message
Dear CDS Families,
Welcome to a brand-new school year! On behalf of the staff at Chester District School, we are so excited to begin the 2025–2026 year together. We’ve been busy getting classrooms, hallways, and learning spaces ready, and we can’t wait to fill them with the energy, laughter, and curiosity of our students.
We are so grateful for your partnership as we begin this exciting year. At CDS, our mission is to create a safe, caring, and inclusive school community where every child feels valued and supported—and none of this is possible without you.
We can’t wait to see our students’ smiling faces on September 4th and look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and connection.
Warmly,
Melissa Willman, Principal
Chris Burris, Vice Principal
