Greeting Chapman Families!
Welcome to this year’s first edition of the Chimney Flyer, our bi-monthly (more or less) school newsletter. We are two weeks in (one for our kindergartners) to what is promising to be a spectacular year. There are a few things we are really focusing on this year and we could use your help! This year, one of our main goals is to have spectacular attendance. Missing 9 days of school or less is best! Students should be here on time every day except when they are sick.
Our day starts promptly at 8:00 so coming in after that is considered tardy. Teachers start walking students into the building with the 7:53 bell (with the exception of 5th grade--they start coming in right around 7:50), so it’s important to be here before 7:53. Please call our attendance line if your child will be out of school for any reason. That number is (503) 916-3619.
We have a few important Chapman dates coming up and I hope you can join us to help us start the year off right! The first is our first live Round Up. This is an assembly that we do every other Friday in person. This first one of the year is always on the turf (the rest will be in the auditorium) and we would love for families to be present to witness what our students have prepared. Each grade level performs a cheer to celebrate the new grade they are in and the year ahead. It’s a joyous and unique tradition that you will not want to miss. It will happen right after drop off on the turf behind the school Friday the 12th.
Our Back to School Night is Thursday, September 25th. We start at 5:30 with a pizza dinner and then follow up with a presentation in the auditorium promptly at 6:00. Details about the evening will be forthcoming, just make sure you’ve saved the date!
