The Chesak Chatter

Ready! Set! GLOW!

Greetings Chesak Families and Friends,

We’ve just wrapped up a glowing first three days of school, and we couldn’t be more excited about the journey ahead! Our students have embraced the new year with enthusiasm and are already showing incredible potential.

As we move forward, let’s continue to encourage our children to grow, learn, and shine. Together, we can help them reach new heights and make this year their best yet.

Thank you for your support as we nurture a year of growth and glowing success!

Important Reminders

Arrival and Dismissal: School day is from 8:30-3:25. Car rider dismissal will begin around 3:20-3:25pm. In the morning we will release car rider's to come into the building around 8:15-8:20am. It is important that our students are in the building at the start of the day at 8:30 and until the end of the day at 3:20.

Attendance Procedures: If your child is late or absent from school please call the attendance hotline at 847-659-5711 and leave a message.

Physicals: For any of our kindergarten and new students, please make sure to get physicals forms turned into our nurses office as soon as possible. Any questions please contact Nurse Deb at 847-659-5704.

Extra Clothing: A friendly reminder to please send your child with an extra set of clothing for any accidents.

Transportation: Please make sure your child's teacher knows if they will be a bus, daycare bus or car rider.

To help us expedite the process please practice your child's car rider number with them. For simplicity they are called like the following example 293 = Two Nine Three. K93 = K nine three. The line will move faster if the students come up right when their number is called. Please only display the numbers of the students you are picking up that day. If a student is absent, please do not display their number for pick up.

Click HERE to find a letter describing our carline arrival and dismissal procedures. Students will be assigned a number on a car tag that gets hung on your rear view mirror so that we can get students to their car safely each day. Any changes in transportation should be made by notifying the teacher in writing and/or email prior to 2:30 that day. Car rider tags can also be picked up in the office.

Only walker family numbers should be at our front entry way. If you have a car rider number please go through the car rider line to drop-off and pick-up students. Please do not park and go to the entry way to pick-up or drop-off. Only families who are walkers should be waiting at the entry way.

Students will be dismissed to come out to their cars until around 3:25 as our instructional day ends at 3:20pm.

To ensure safety, when coming through the car rider line please stay in your cars as cars are moving out once students are in the car. Also, please ensure that students car/booster seats are on the right side for pick-up. If you need to buckle students in, please pull up and into the parking lot to do so. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we want to make sure everyone is safe getting into the cars.

Car Rider Map

Below is an image of our car rider line map. Please use this diagram to support when lining up for arrival and dismissal. When in the overflow lot please follow the arrows to only develop one single file line. Once you loop around we will place you in a row to lead up the front of the building for drop off/pick-up. Thank you!
