A NOTE FROM PRINCIPAL VAN DER WOLF

Greetings Chapman Swifts! There are still 4 weeks left of school but we are already winding down the year and getting ready for the next. Students have been working hard on projects, tests and presentations to show off everything they’ve learned this year. The cast of our spring musical is getting ready to take the stage in a couple of weeks. And, after hosting summer school for the last three years in a row, Chapman is not hosting this year, so plans for summertime construction and cleaning are underway. 

Staffing Updates:

We have a few changes being made for next year due to changes in the number of class sections at each grade. Our teaching staff for next year is below. 

Kindergarten: Michele Mulvihill, Jerry Riccardi

1st: Mellissa Mabry, Hannah Sutton, Angelina Munoz

2nd: Liesl Schaedig, Allyson Keudell

3rd: Shannon McLaughlin, Hannah Lommen, Pam Lyons

4th: Kevin Bush, Gennie Keller

5th: Karen Ritzinger, Zachary Schreib

Specials: Melissa Juska (Library),Reed Clark (Music), George Gostovich (Visual Art), Ryan Studt (PE)

Intervention Staff: Stacy Rosoff (Reading Specialist), Tracy Bingham (SPED), Mark Reynolds (ESL)

Counselors: David Hall

Teachers are currently working on class assignment for next year. These will be mailed out mid-August after our office staff returns.

As you know, May 21st is Election Day. Please read here for information about the levy with Chapman-specific information.

Register for Kindergarten Online

If you have a child who will be 5 years old by September 1, please register for kindergarten! To register, go to pps.net/kinderenroll. The process takes 20-30 minutes and school staff will follow up with you later in the summer. With schools closed, online registration is the easiest option, but paper options will be available soon. You don’t need to register if your child attends a PPS Head Start or Pre-Kindergarten program.

Experience Art Night Success!

Thank you to our local sponsor, Blick, for supplying Experience Art Night with canvases and other materials to help make the evening a huge success! If you have any pictures of your kiddos doing fun art projects from the event, please pass them along to aj.schricker@gmail.com

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!

The Chapman Elementary FunD Run is our school's largest fundraiser. The money goes directly my school and the students and by supporting programs that are essential but no longer provided by our education system. This includes Reading Results, PE Equipment, Student Community Outreach and Teacher's Assistants. You can pledge here and help us reach our goal!  

SEE ALL THOSE EVENTS UP THERE?

They don't run themselves, and we could really use your help! Please check out the parent portal to sign up for opportunities to lend a hand.
