Good Things this Week!

Howdy Night is always one of our most favorite things. Having this opportunity to welcome everyone back, see old friends, and be introduced to our new classmates and teachers gets us even more excited for the year ahead. Thank you for everyone who attended! We are looking forward to an exciting new year!

First Day of School - Tuesday, August 11th

Our first day of school is just around the corner! Tuesday, August 11th will be an exciting day for all of us! As a reminder, our school day is 7:35-3:00. Please read the Morning Drop Off and Afternoon Pickup Procedures in the link below to ensure a safe and smooth process is followed.

For those who were not able to attend Howdy Night, your homeroom teacher assignments can be found by logging into Skyward Family. Please contact our FORES front office for any needed assistance.

We understand the excitement of a new school year and new class assignments. Please note we do not guarantee specific teacher requests or placements. Our staff works thoughtfully and carefully to create balanced and supportive classroom communities.

Pre-K and Kinder First Day of School Walk-In Procedure

We know that the first day of school is an exceptional time for everyone, especially for students who have never been to school. Elementary parents of our Pre-K and Kinder students can drop off their child curbside through the drive-through beginning at 7:00 AM, or walk them to their classroom at 8:00 AM.

We will have all 1st-5th grade students settle into the building before we begin having PK/KG families come in. Please help us make this day a success by walking only your pre-K and/or Kinder child to the classroom. Upper-grade students should enter the building with their classmates and walk to class independently at their regular arrival time.
 
This is for Day 1 only. Beginning Day 2, we will move to our regular drop off procedures which are linked below.
 
Drop off and Arrival Procedures

Chartwell Morning Drop Off Map

  • DO NOT DROP OFF STUDENTS PRIOR TO 7:00. THIS IS NOT SAFE. Students remain in your vehicle until 7:00 when a staff member is present.
  • Please stay in your vehicles at all times when driving through the drop off line.
  • Morning drop off at Chartwell will be single file.
  • A couple tips: pull all the way forward, students may open their doors to get out on their own. Staff will be available to assist as needed.

Chartwell Afternoon Pick Up Map

  • Pull as far forward as possible so multiple cars can be loaded at once.
  • Have your car tag labeled with your child's name and visible to staff.
  • Put your vehicle in park until it is signaled to move forward by FORES staff.
  • Please be patient the first few days as we work through our procedures and begin a safe and smooth dismissal process.
