Greetings Chaffee Families,
We do have school on Monday and Tuesday this week. We have added a Pajama Day for Tuesday to help get students excited for school that day when we’re so close to Thanksgiving Break! I hope your family has a wonderful Thanksgiving. We loved seeing so many of you at our Thanksgiving Luncheon this past week. I am so thankful to be a part of the Chaffee Family. The students, teachers, support staff, and families are the best! Chaffee is a wonderful place to be!
As you may be aware, the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) released its A-F Report Cards for the 2024-2025 school year. I am so excited to share that for the first time ever, Chaffee scored an A!!! This grade is based on ACAP test proficiency, ACAP test growth, English Learner progress, and chronic absenteeism. Our State Report Card Grade is a 90, and our Federal Report Card Grade is a 93! With your support I know we can keep our school growing in a positive way. We need students at school daily, prepared for learning and making Chaffee Choices! 😊
We are asking that each student donate $1 as part of our Holiday Collection. This money will be used to present our custodians, cafeteria nutrition workers, and other support staff with a gift from the school this holiday season.
Yearbooks are on sale now for $30! The price will go up on December 20. Please see the flyers below for more information. Order online.
Our Penguin Patch Holiday Shop will be open December 1-5, and we need volunteers (parent, guardians, grandparents, etc.) to help students shop. Please volunteer. You will love shopping with our students!
Lost & Found is full!! Please remind your child(ren) to go by and collect their missing items before everything is donated on November 25!
Soar Eagles,
