I am changing the data I share to more accurately represent our goal.

At Chinook, our goal is to have 90% of our students at school 90% of the time!

In the month of September, 68.69% of our students were at school 90% of the time.

Help us increase our % for the month of October!!

1st Quarter Parent Conferences coming later this month...

Parent conferences are a valuable tool in the education of any child. During conferences, the teacher and parent or guardian have the opportunity to talk about important information that will help the student throughout their education. Active participation of parents is essential! Communication between home and school is one of the best ways to ensure that a child’s school experience is successful.

We LOVE our Chinook Volunteers

Please visit https://www.asdk12.org/volunteer and fill out the online application and waiver. Every volunteer needs to be approved at the start of each school year. Please complete this process ASAP, as you do need to be approved prior to being able to help in our school. This process can take between 5-10 days.
