Daily Schedule

• School doors open at 7:15 a.m. daily
• Students are counted as tardy at 7:55 a.m.
• When students are tardy they miss important morning announcements and class community-building activities that occur before instruction begins.
• If your child arrives after 8:05 a.m., they must be brought inside by whoever drops them off.
• Dismissal is at 3:20 pm

Please wear dismissal tags every day for the first two weeks of school. We will provide them on the first day of school for those who do not have one.

If your child is a car rider:

• Please remain in your cars during drop-off and dismissal.
• Keep the orange tag with your child's number hanging from the review mirror when you are in the line.
• If you do not have an orange tag with your child's number, you must come inside and present a valid ID.
• Please be patient the first few days as we try to get our system to be as efficient as possible while still ensuring students' safety

If your child is a walker:

• You may meet them by the doors near the bus ramp.
• If your student is in PreK or Kinder, the person picking them up must have a placard and meet at the door by the buses near the marquee. A staff member will release the student upon seeing the appropriate placard. If you do not have a placard, you will be asked to come to the front office to check your valid ID.

If your child attends daycare:

• They are dismissed at 3:20 to the receiving daycares.
• Daycares come past the buses to the back circle drive.
• All daycare students should be picked up by 3:40. If a daycare arrives after 3:40, the students must be picked up in the front office.

If your child is a bus rider:

• If they are a kindergartener with a red tag, please make sure you are at the bus stop with the appropriate placard to pick up your child. There are new placards for the 23-24 school year. If someone is not there with the placard, the student will be returned to Chambers to be picked up in the front office with a valid photo ID.
• Kindergarteners with a green tag may be released from the bus without an adult present.
• All students will have a smart tag to check in and off the bus.

Placards and tags can be acquired at Meet the Teacher night.

Breakfast is free this school year to all students.

Lunch will be free for students who qualify for free and reduced meals by filling out the application below. If you do not fill out the form or your child does not qualify, lunch will cost $1.00.

Meal applications must be submitted annually, so if you qualified in the past, you will need to apply again this year to receive the free lunch.

Click the button below to access the application.

Please make sure your child comes to school in dress code daily.

• Any solid color collared shirts
• Pants or knee-length shorts (khaki, navy, or blue jeans)
• Leggings may not be worn unless they are worn under a skirt or dress.
• Dresses and skirts must be knee-length (Khaki or navy)
• Wednesdays are college shirt day! Wear the college shirt of your choice!
• Chambers School Shirts can be worn any day of the week with appropriate bottoms.
• Jeans may be worn any day of the week
• Shoes: Close-toed shoes- No Crocs- Our students run and play at recess and PE, and we want them to be safe.

If your child comes to school out of the dress code, we will give you a call and ask you to bring the appropriate attire.

If you do not have clothes that are in dress code, please let us know.

The best way to communicate with your child's teacher is through class dojo. Please make sure to connect during Meet the Teacher night so you don't miss out on important information! We look forward to partnering with you to help your child have a successful school year!

If it is your child's birthday, we want to celebrate them! Please feel free to send cupcakes or individually packaged items with your child. Please send enough for the whole class. They will be shared and eaten during the last 20 minutes of the day or during your child's recess. For health reasons, we are not permitted to pass out any homemade food or drinks to students or staff.
