Dear Imagine-Chancellor Families,

Happy New Year! As we welcome 2025, it’s the perfect time to set goals and reflect on the opportunities that lie ahead. The Imagine-Chancellor staff are excited and eager to work together to support our students in achieving success both academically and personally.

Goal-setting is a powerful tool for growth, and this year, we are encouraging our students to set meaningful goals that balance academic achievement with the character development that defines what it means to Always Be a Charger. Whether it's striving for academic excellence or demonstrating core values like caring, accountability, and gratitude, these goals will guide their journey throughout the year.

Your involvement plays a critical role in helping our students thrive. We look forward to seeing you at upcoming school events and encourage your active participation in activities that promote positive academic outcomes. From attending family nights to engaging in classroom initiatives, your presence makes a difference.

Thank you for your continued support as we empower our students to tap into their full potential—balancing their academic goals with a commitment to being helpful, empathetic, and responsible members of our school community. Here’s to a successful 2025...we are Imagine-Chancellor STRONG!

With love and appreciation,

Ms. Standley

Principal

Our Imagine-Chancellor Family and extending community brought extreme joy this holiday season. Through the generous contributions to our Giving Tree, cheer and joy were brought to those in need this holiday season by our Imagine-Chancellor family. Together, we made a meaningful difference in our community, exemplifying the caring and gratitude that define us as Chargers. Thank you for spreading kindness and hope!

Additionally, we would like to thank The American Legion Post 154 for their incredible generosity in donating 14 bicycles, and to the Boynton Beach Police Department for delivering holiday food baskets to 16 families. Your kindness and commitment to our community brought joy and hope to so many this holiday season.

Your support exemplifies the spirit of giving and reminds us of the power of coming together to make a difference. Thank you for helping us create special memories for our Charger families!

Congrats to all our Positivity Penny winners and all students who continue to show outstanding character throughout the day.

Imagine-Chancellor implements the lottery process to acquire new students. If you know someone who is interested in their child(ren) becoming Imagine-Chancellor student(s), they must complete a pre-enrollment form and submit it prior to the deadline. If submitted by the deadline, their child(ren) will be included in the lottery process.

If your child's sibling will be entering Kindergarten or another grade level and wish to attend Imagine-Chancellor for the 2025-2026 school year, please ensure you complete a pre-enrollment form.

​

The deadline to submit a pre-enrollment form for the 2025-2026 school year is March 1st, 2025. The lottery for the 2025-2026 school year will be held at Imagine-Chancellor on March 10th, 2025.

Imagine-Chancellor is a Title I school for the 24-25 school year. Title I programs are designed to improve academic outcomes for all students by strengthening instruction, promoting a culture of high expectations, engaging and empowering families, ensuring safe and healthy learning conditions, and providing a broad range of student support.

Parents can access Title I resources and information on our website https://www.imagine-chancellor.com/copy-of-title-ix and available via our ISCC Parent Hub as well as Imagine-Chancellor's SWP summary which is now posted on our school website:

https://www.imagine-chancellor.com/copy-of-title-ix and available via our ISCC Parent Hub.

We encourage all families to attend our Title I meeting on January 22nd @9:00 am in Cafe or via Zoom to develop our schoolwide plan. We encourage you to share your input to enhance our school programs and increase family engagement. We will also be hosting a Title Family Science night on 1/22 @ 6:30 pm in the Cafe where you can engage in fun science centers with your family!

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 winter 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. When exiting the building, all visitors must check out and turn in their visitor badge.

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.

If you or your business would be interested in participating in this wonderful program, please

complete the information below and return it with a check payable to:

Imagine Schools Chancellor Campus.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support of our classrooms.
