Dear Imagine-Chancellor Families,

April is a crucial month as our students put forth their best effort in preparation for the upcoming state assessments that take place in May. This is a time to showcase all the hard work and learning that has taken place throughout the year. We encourage our students to stay focused, do their best, and demonstrate perseverance.

One of the most important ways families can support their children during this time is by ensuring consistent attendance. Every day in class matters, and being present helps students feel prepared and confident. Please help by ensuring your child gets a good night's rest, arrives on time, and is ready to engage in learning each day.

In addition to our academic focus, we are excited to welcome the Book Fair this month! This is a great opportunity to encourage reading at home and foster a love for books. We appreciate your support in making this a successful event for our students.

At the conclusion of this month, we will also take time to show our appreciation for our incredible teachers and staff during Teacher Appreciation Week. Their dedication, passion, and hard work make a difference in the lives of our students every day. We encourage families to join us in recognizing and celebrating them!

As always, we continue to emphasize what it means to Always Be a Charger—Caring, Honest, Accountable, Respectful, Grateful, Empathetic, and Responsible. These core values guide our actions daily, and we are proud of how our students demonstrate them in and out of the classroom.

Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education. Together, we can help our students finish the school year strong!

With love and appreciation,

Ms. Standley

Principal

Please join us in person for Coffee Talk with Admin. We invite your input and feedback on ways to improve our school programs.

Dear Families,

Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:

Grandparents Day @ the Book Fair- April 14, 15, 16 (9:00-10:30 am)

Family Night- April 11th 4:15-6:30 pm Food Trucks and Trivia Night

There’s even more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage:
https://www.scholastic.com/bf/imaginechancellor

While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds.

When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called
Share the Fair™. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books
from the Fair.

Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.

Happy reading,
Stephanie Standley
Principal
Imagine Chancellor

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 spring 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.

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.
