Chester Elementary School

Dear CES Family,

It's time to start thinking about the 2024-2025 school year! With that in mind, our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) and Kindergarten Round-Up is scheduled for Tuesday, April 16th, from 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. in the CES gym. A little bit about the age requirements:

• A child is eligible for TK enrollment if they meet one of two age criteria:
• A child turns 5 years old between September 2, 2024 and June 2, 2025.
• A child turns 4 years old between June 3, 2024 and Sept. 1, 2024. This is a new extension of the timeline for registration for the 2024-2025 school year that will allow additional students to enroll. If you wish to choose the latter option, please know that a TK readiness assessment will be administered to all students in this category in order to ensure an appropriate placement.
  
• A child is eligible for Kindergarten enrollment if a child turns 5 years old on or before September 1, 2024

Why are we extending the enrollment window for TK enrollment? Because it's good for kids. We have a tremendous program run by Mrs. Culver that is focused on providing her students with both the social and academic readiness skills necessary to ensure their success in Kindergarten and in the grade levels beyond. Have any questions about this? Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me by phone (258-3194/ext. 1200) or email (scory@pcoe.k12.ca.us).

Sincerely,

Scott Cory

The CES Talent Show took place this week, and what a show it was! We have a lot of talented students, to be sure. I would like to thank Mrs. Tanya Miller for her efforts to make this event happen. It was a great night for everyone in attendance. We even had the folks from Mt. Lassen Theater present to provide popcorn, hot dogs and candy. Thanks to the staff at MLT!

That's right, Summer School! I know, it's only March, but we're getting an early start on trying to determine interest. Click on the "Summer School" graphic to learn more and state your interest. More information coming in the weeks to come.

We have a great chamber of commerce in the Lake Almanor Basin! If you haven't seen their newsletter, "Town Chatter," it's full of great information about local events.
