Join us for Math and Reading Family Game Night on Thursday, November 9. Families will have the opportunity to eat together and then rotate through a series of fun games! We ask that you preregister before the date of the event. See link below to register!

Teachers sent report cards home last Friday. Please sign and return the report card envelope. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's progress please contact your child's teacher(s) immediately. We are here to support your child's learning and growth.

A.L.L.Y, Accepting Learners Leading Youth, is our middle school peer-to-peer program. A.L.L.Y. is excited to be selling pickles again this year! Pickles are $1.00 and will be sold after school in the lobby on Thursdays. The funds will go towards the programs’ after-school classroom supplies, project materials, and after-school activity needs. Thank you for your support!

Students may wear a hat to school on Wednesday and Fridays from Nov. 8 through Dec. 15 to help raise money for the Lapeer Kiwanis Club's Inclusive Playground. Cost is 50 cents per day or $1 per week. Money will be collected on Wednesday and Friday. Students may pay one week at a time each Wednesday if they would like.

Don't miss the Scholastic Book Fair! It is a great time to pick up some great books and maybe a holiday gift or two!

Is your child in need of a new winter coat, boots, snowpants, etc.? If so and you would like some support we have a couple of different options. We have some families that would like to make donations. So, please let Mr. Kraly know what you need, privately, and we will get it to you. OR

St. Paul Lutheran has coats available.

Gateway will be hosting FBEM on our campus the first Saturday this upcoming December. We hope to bless the community one more time for the year with some much needed food. Starting at 10am on December 2nd distribution will start and each car will get at least one box of food. This giveaway is designed as a drive through and individuals will have no need to get out of their vehicles or in the cold. We will distribute boxes of food until 12pm or while the supplies last. It is on a first come, first serve basis and families can pick up for each other (up to 2 families).

If your family is experiencing need or homelessness please let us know. There are supports that we can put in place to take a little bit of the burden off of your shoulders and support your child's learning. McKinney-Vento Federal law provides supports for school age children. Please contact Mr. Kraly, Mr. Young, or Mrs. Kress and we will privately address your needs.

After Thanksgiving, Student Council is asking for your support of two families we are adopting through Holiday Depot. We will also have a Toys for Tots collection. Please stay tuned for details.

Any and all spirit wear can now be purchased locally at VillageTee! Please visit the link and the Village Tee website to see all of the possibilities available. We are just getting started! www.villagetees.net/product-category/chatfield

For Treat Street, Reindeer, and Trolley Ride Day on Tuesday, December 19 we will need lots of baked goods! Please remember us when you are doing your holiday baking!

From Coach Chateauvert: Recently, Owen's (center) North Branch team had won againts us (LakeVille). As Brycen (left) and Cooper's (right) football coach, I was more proud with that fact that even though we had lost it still did not stop the boys from wanting to get a friendly photo together! Great job to all three boys and their teams!

Does your child have something to celebrate - perhaps an athletic accomplishment, a dance competition result, a special camp or program completion? We want to celebrate extra-curricular student success too! Let us know about it and we will celebrate it in the newsletter and on Facebook/Instagram. Send an email to Mr. Kraly (bkraly@chatfieldschool.org) with your child's first and last name, information about the success, and a quality picture (jpeg) or video.

Examples: Athletic award achieved, dance award, special recital, technology achievement, scouts or other organized program recognitions.

The student & parent handbook for 2023-2024 is available now. Please take time to read it over. If you have any questions or concerns please let Mr. Young or Mr. Kraly know.
