Stetser Family Update

I am a Scholar from Stetser Elementary School.

Today I have a new chance to become wiser.

I will strive to reach each goal.

I will be an active listener.

I will work diligently and give my best effort.

I will share what I learned with my family, community and friends.

Why?

Because I am a scholar from Stetser Elementary School.

All students will be dismissed at 11:45am on June 6th and June 7th.

Parents, we're encouraging every child to read at least 15 minutes a night to a family member. Reading instills confidence in your child as well as develops comprehension skills. We have books at Stetser that students are welcome to take home with them. Thank you in advance for your partnership in this endeavor.

Families, together we can achieve anything! Below are school-wide goals that we will focus on for the 2023-2024 school year.

• At least 50% of students in grades 3-5 score proficient or higher on standardized testing
  
• Daily attendance rate at least 90%

As reflected in the welcome packets sent to families on June 29, 2023, Early Dismissals End at 3:00pm. If you need to pick your child up early, you must arrive at the building before 3:00pm. Do not call the main office and ask for your child to be sent down to the front or that you are on your way to get your child. Children will only be called down to the front office when the parent or guardian comes to properly sign their child out before 3:00pm. Please plan accordingly.

The parent/guardian of any student that comes to school sick with a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or pink eye will be contacted to pick your child up immediately; this is a district wide policy. Update your child's emergency contact list at Stetser to include trusted adults that can pick your child up if they become sick during school hours. Failure to pick your child up when called by the nurse is a form of neglect.

Parents, if you need to update your emergency contact list please email our secretary, Ms. Beverly Howard, at bhoward@chesteruplandsd.org. Your child will not be released to any individuals that you did not list on your emergency contact list.

As of July 1, 2023, Chester Upland School District initiated a new process for all volunteers.

1. All potential district volunteers are required to submit a volunteer application on the district’s website. Volunteers must submit the necessary clearances with the application. The application is titled 2023-2024 Volunteer Application. Human Resources / Human Resources (chesteruplandsd.org)
2. Once the completed application is submitted, Human Resources will review.
3. Approved volunteers will be placed on the board agenda for Receiver approval.

Please note that individuals who are not listed on a board agenda and approved by the Receiver, will not be permitted to volunteer at a school or event/program.

Gators are respectful, responsible, caring, and safe.

They accept differences,

Tell an adult,

Offer a helping hand,

Refrain from name calling and

Stand up for what is right.

I am a Stetser gator; I am respectful, responsible, caring and safe.

We are CUTTING out all distractions, TIGHTENING our study habits, HITTING the books, MEASURING success and NAILING our assessments!
