Dear Imagine-Chancellor Families,

As we wrap up 2024, I want to take a moment to reflect on the many ways our students have grown academically and as members of our school community. This time of year is perfect for celebrating our achievements and recommitting to the values and strengths that define us as Chargers.

Our core values—Caring, Honest, Accountable, Grateful, Empathetic, and Responsible—serve as the foundation for everything we do. These values were on full display throughout 2024, as students consistently demonstrated kindness, teamwork, and bravery in their interactions with one another. Whether lending a helping hand to a classmate, taking risks in their learning, or persevering through challenges, our students have shown what it means to truly embody character and grit.

I am incredibly proud of their academic accomplishments, from tackling challenging concepts to crafting and exploring new ideas. Equally impressive has been their emotional growth—working through conflicts with empathy, celebrating each other’s successes, and understanding the importance of showing gratitude.

As we prepare for the new year, let’s continue to encourage and celebrate these moments of character and perseverance. Together, we can nurture a community where every Charger feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in making our school a place where character and academic success go hand in hand. I wish everyone a joyous holiday season and a healthy, prosperous 2025. Thank you for your continued support and always remember we are Imagine-Chancellor STRONG!

With love and appreciation,

Ms. Standley

Principal

Let's bring some cheer this holiday season to children in need. Our Giving Tree has been setup in the front office. If you are interested in donating gifts for a child, please stop by and choose a tag from the tree. Each tag has an individual child's wish list. We ask that gifts for each tag our brought in no later than December 16th to ensure delivery to the family. Thank you for supporting this great cause.

Imagine-Chancellor School Counselors Ms. Barratt & Ms. Mora assist students with academic, social/emotional, and career needs by working with them in class lessons, small groups, and individual counseling. K-5 class lessons have been delivered throughout the months of November and December. Students have engaged in activities to gain tools and strategies on how to demonstrate empathy and gratitude.

Positivity Project will continue on our campus with a focus on Positivity in Action and the Other People Mindset. Below are the character strengths we will be focusing on each week during the month of December.

Forgiveness- Week of December 2nd-6th

OPM - Supporting others when they struggle- Week of December 9th-13th

K-5 students were celebrated for demonstrating outstanding character strengths for the month of October. These students were chosen as representatives of their grade levels to eat lunch with Ms. Standley. Congrats to all our Positivity Penny winners and all students who continue to show outstanding character throughout the day.

Last month we honored some special Veterans at our Imagine-Chancellor Veterans Day Parade. Students in K-8 grade wore red, white, & blue and waved their American flags proudly as we welcomed our special Veterans. Students sang songs and gave speeches to thank them for their bravery and sacrifice. All students learned about Bravery throughout the week along with the meaning of Veterans Day. Below is a video of all Veterans that are a part of our Imagine-Chancellor family. We appreciate their service and dedication to our country!

Imagine-Chancellor implements the lottery process to acquire new students. If you know someone who is interested in their child(ren) becoming Imagine-Chancellor student(s), they must complete a pre-enrollment form and submit it prior to the deadline. If submitted by the deadline, their child(ren) will be included in the lottery process.

If your child's sibling will be entering Kindergarten or another grade level and wish to attend Imagine-Chancellor for the 2025-2026 school year, please ensure you complete a pre-enrollment form.

​

The deadline to submit a pre-enrollment form for the 2025-2026 school year is March 1st, 2025. The lottery for the 2025-2026 school year will be held at Imagine-Chancellor on March 10th, 2025.

Thank you to all the families who were able to attend our Title I Math and Reading Family Night. We hope to see even more at our next Family Night in January!

Your child’s academic and social progress is influenced to a great extent by regular participation in school. Regular attendance without tardiness is the key.

When your child will be absent from school, please send an email to

chancellorattendance@imagine-chancellor.com. In the email provide your child's first and last name, grade level, and teacher along with the reason why they are absent. Please attach any doctor's note or other pertinent information related to the absence. You can also send in a note with your child upon their return to school. If you do not report the absence within 48 hours your child will receive an “unexcused absence.” You must do this process for each day your child is absent.

We encourage you to schedule your child’s appointments after school hours. If this is not possible, parent/guardians must come to the main office first to have their child released. Office personnel will notify the classroom teacher to inform the teacher that your child needs to report to the office. For your child’s safety, the teacher will not release a child to anyone who has not signed them out at the office. Office personnel will not release a child to anyone not listed on the Emergency Contact Card, unless the school is notified by the parent in writing in advance.

Research has shown that there is a strong correlation between attendance and achievement in school. Therefore, our attendance policy will be strictly enforced in accordance with the Palm Beach County Attendance Policy.

No students shall be released after 2:30 pm unless the principal/designee determines it is an emergency.

1. All schools will establish procedures for early release that ensure that all students are treated consistently.

2. Excessive early sign-outs will be addressed on a case-by-case basis to determine if there is a pattern of non-attendance. Non-attendance for instructional activities is established by tardiness, early-sign outs, or absences for all or any part of the day.

3. Unless excused under the provisions of this policy, accumulated early sign-outs will be recorded as unexcused absences. (F.S. 1003.02)

To provide Imagine-Chancellor families with easy access to various information in one location, we have created the Imagine-Chancellor Parent Info Hub. This can also be found on our school website.

Student achievement is of utmost importance at Imagine-Chancellor. Teachers must maximize instructional minutes to promote student learning success. Tardies are a major disruption to the learning environment and student learning. Students miss extremely important intervention/enrichment time. Additionally, learning stops while the tardy student settles into his/her seat.

We strongly encourage families to ensure their child(ren) are setup for success each morning by arriving to school on time. The instructional day starts at 8:30 am. Therefore, it is expected for all students to be in their seat ready to learn at this time. We appreciate your support in this matter.

Helpful Hint: Morning arrival car lines have extremely little to no traffic between 8:00-8:15 am.

Thank you to our fabulous PTSA for decorating our front lobby for the winter season. Their creativity brings cheer to everyone who enters our school each day! We greatly appreciate your hard work!

NEW CHANGE FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR...To access our school property during the school day, all visitors must go to the south gate and use the video call box to gain entry to the property. All visitors must provide government issued ID to enter the school building. Visitors will be issued a visitor badge that must be worn at all times. When exiting the building, all visitors must check out and turn in their visitor badge.

In an effort to involve individual families and businesses in our children’s classrooms, we have instituted the Adopt-A-Class program. This program provides the school with funding that can be used for individualized classroom enrichment projects.

The monies will be allocated to the classrooms designated on the form and will supply materials to the students in an effort to enhance their education in a variety of creative ways. In return for the donation, the names of the individual or business will be prominently displayed outside classrooms and will be acknowledged in school-wide publications.

If you or your business would be interested in participating in this wonderful program, please

complete the information below and return it with a check payable to:

Imagine Schools Chancellor Campus.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support of our classrooms.
