November

November is a wonderful time to pause and reflect on the people who make our school community special. This month, we are focusing on gratitude and the special connections we share with our families. Our students will participate in activities that celebrate kindness, giving back, and appreciating the people and community around them.

We are so thankful for each of our families and for the trust you place in us. We look forward to another month of learning and meaningful connections!

Sincerely,

Sara Connor

A sincere thank you to everyone who completed our Family Survey! Your feedback is valuable to us as it helps us understand what’s working well and where we can continue to grow to better support your family. If you would still like to participate, the survey is open until November 20, 2026.

We are excited to begin creating our school’s “Thankful Turkey!”

Your child will be bringing home a turkey feather on Monday, November 2nd.

PLEASE BE SURE TO GRAB YOUR FEATHER FROM YOUR CHILD'S CUBBY.

Please help your child decorate their feather and include something they are thankful for.

Feathers are due back by Friday, November 13th.

Please feel free to turn them in beforehand!

If your child’s feather gets misplaced or you need an extra, just let us know — we’ll be happy to get you another!

November is Native American Heritage Month, a time to recognize the histories, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. In our classrooms, children will learn through books and age-appropriate activities that introduce Native American traditions and perspectives.

At Chesterbrook, we are committed to developing the whole child. A key part of this development is fostering empathy, kindness, and a spirit of philanthropy. We encourage our students to give back and care for others in need. This year, we are proud to partner with Delco Helping Hands to support members of our local community.

As we all know, winter is coming.

Winter is typically when we see the most sicknesses happening within our building. As always, we are following all of the proper cleaning policies in attempt to decrease the spread of illness. Handwashing is the best defense; teachers and children are washing hands before and after meals, after outside play, after diapering/ pottying, and after messy play. The teachers also take extra care sanitizing and disinfecting toys and surfaces in the classroom, both throughout the day and at the end of the day. Our evening cleaning crew disinfects floors, doorknobs, and flat surfaces nightly.

If your child is sick and goes to the Doctor, we are asking for a note from your pediatrician, or doctor visited, confirming the diagnosis so we can make our school community aware of the illness in the building. This includes illness' such as hand foot and mouth, strep, flu, etc.

We will also need a note clearing your child to return to school. It's very important that we are alerted regarding communicable diseases so we can take the proper steps to keep the school as healthy as possible.
