Bobcat Beat
Principal's Message
Happy Sunday, Bobcats!
Looks like we made it through the heat! Thank you all for your understanding as we will always keep the student's health a priority. We are in constant contact with our Student Community Services team updating us on all things weather, health, and safety related.
If you joined us last Friday at our Ice Cream Social, we hope you had a great time hanging out with CHE families and had any of your questions answered regarding PTA or any school related issues. Thank you to the PTA for putting on a great social get together.
Stay tuned for the next community event!
Go Bobcats!
Mr. Higgins
NEW - School Site Council Election

NEW - Emergency Kits
PTA is currently selling emergency kits that you can purchase directly from the PTA website. If you ordered through PTA, your child's emergency kit will be delivered directly to Chapman Hills. If you would like to create your own emergency kit, the following items are what we recommend to place inside a gallon ziploc bag:
2 SMALL WATER BOTTLES
2 HIGH ENERGY, LONG LASTING NO SALT SNACKS
1 SOLAR BLANKET
BANDAIDS
1 SPOON
1 LOLLIPOP
2 APPLESAUCES
1 FRUIT CUP
3 ENTREES (EX.VIENNA SAUSAGE, BEANEE WEENEE, CHEF BOYARDEE MEAL)
SANITIZING WET WIPES
We feel it is important for each child to have some sort of emergency kit. These kits will be sent home at the end of the year for families to replenish anything that has expired.
NEW - New Door System
Many of you have noticed that when you come to the office, you will see that community members must be "buzzed" in. Please continue to use the doorbell and listen for the doors to unlock. I'm excited to have this upgraded locking mechanism and camera system to see who is at our door as it adds one more layer of security to our school.
