It Takes Heart to Be a Hero!!

Chatham Elementary will once again be participating in the American Heart Association's "JUMP ROPE FOR HEART" program.
 
Last year our school raised over $11,000 towards the American Heart Association's efforts. This year our goal is to top that with $12,000 so that important work can continue. Throughout the month of February, P.E. classes will have fun and learn about your own heart - how it works and how to protect it! Together, with your classmates, we will increase awareness for heart disease and stroke in our communities and spread the word on steps that we can take to lead healthier and longer lives!

You can start helping our school reach it's goal right away!!   Click on the link below to find out how!

Parent Reminders
Chatham Elementary School welcomes parents to join their children for lunch in the cafeteria; however, please remember it is school policy that parents should not bring in lunch from outside establishments. Thank you!

When making transportation changes for After School, you must contact the office prior to 1:30 p.m.  This allows ample time for teachers and students to be notified.

Don't forget to check your child's backpack on a daily basis to see if there are any important papers or announcements from school.

Kindergarten Parents: Eye exams are due to the School Nurse by October 15th.

Parent Pickup and Drop-off Procedures
 · Parents that are dropping off or picking their child up from school can use the drive through lane and  should remain in their car.  Students can be dropped off from 7:40 AM to 7:50 AM.  The students will be sent to the gym for pickup at 2:40 PM on regular dismissal days and 11:00 AM on half days.  Supervision will be provided to safely guide the students with this process.

· When dropping off or picking up your student at Chatham Elementary School, please enter the parking lot entrance off of Church Street. Due to the number of parents using this lane, cars coming from Route 4 should access Church Street from Spruce Street, (just south of the Fire Station.)

· Please use the “car visor sign” to inform supervisors of your rider.  Signs are available in the office. 

· If you park your car in the lot, please walk with your child into school.  Students should never walk across the parking lot and drop off lane without parent supervision. 

· The lane in the front of the building will not be available for parking between 7:30—8:15 AM or 2:30—3:15 PM. This lane will be used for the purpose of student drop off or pickup from school. (When children are delayed in coming out to their car, parents may be asked to pull forward in order to help maintain a steady flow of traffic.)

Please Hang up Your Cell Phone

Illinois law prohibits drivers from talking on cell phones in school zones.  This prohibition has been the law in Illinois since January 1 and is meant to protect drivers and keep our children safe.

Please Minimize Transportation Changes

Parents that have the occasional schedule change need to send a note to school to communicate changes. Thank you for your support with this process.
