A Message from Principal Tellechea

Hello Chapman families,

December has arrived, and we only have three short weeks left with our students this calendar year! As we approach Winter Break, our students and staff are finalizing key concepts, reflecting on their accomplishments, and preparing for what lies ahead.

It’s also beginning to look a lot like Winter! Please make sure your children are bundled up in the morning with jackets and closed toe shoes. Names should be written on their jackets and sweaters. Each month we hang many items on the lost and found rack that do not have names on them. Let’s work together to make sure our students are warm and cozy during these chilly months. Families and students can check the lost and found rack before school and after school in front of the cafeteria.

As always, the staff at Chapman Elementary would like to thank each of you for allowing us to be a part of your child's life. We are humbled and honored to be able to share in the education of each of our students and look forward to the successful end of 2024! Please feel free to call the office at 530-891-3100 or reach out to us by email if we can assist your family in any way.

Sincerely,

Cristi Tellechea

Principal

Form 10 Process

Hello 5th grade families!
Junior High is fast approaching, please log onto your Aeries account and confirm which junior high school boundary you live in.

If your student will attend your home school there is nothing you need to do. Your student will automatically be pre-enrolled and accounted for.

If your student would like to attend a school other than your home school you must complete a form 10. The window for the form 10 lottery is December 2nd, 2024-January 17th, 2025. Once you compete the online form 10, you will be emailed a confirmation. The form 10 is linked here:
