Site Coach

My name is Jessica Moore and I am on my 28th year of teaching, 23 of those years here at Chesterton. I am passionate about community schools because it looks at the students holistically and it allows for the entire community to help our students thrive. On a personal note, my husband and I have raised a 22-year-old daughter who just graduated college, and an18-year-old son, who just started college, so we are now left spoiling our 4-year-old fur baby. My hobbies are consuming anything artistic and/or cultural including music, movies, theater, festivals, art, dance, and more!

Site Coach

Alison Disque, special education teacher.

"I have been an Educational Specialist at Chesterton Elementary School for 12 years. I support students in grades Transitional Kindergarten through Third Grade and am dedicated to helping every child succeed. In addition to working with students, I serves as a coach on the Community School Committee and am an active member of both the School Governance Team (SGT) and School Site Council (SSC).

I have an 8-year-old son, two dogs and a husband. We enjoy going to the beach and hiking."

Chesterton Community School Partners

Community partners play a vital role in supporting families by meeting immediate needs and helping to overcome systemic barriers that limit access to essential resources for long-term well-being. Core partners are committed to sustainable changes for the Chesterton community as families and staff bring their collective concerns forward. We are grateful for their collaboration.
