The Chesak Chatter
July 17, 2026
Greetings Chesak Families and Friends,
Last week was full of connection and celebration at Chesak! During Start With Hello Week, our Cheetahs celebrated kindness with Dolly Parton Kindness Day and Spirit Week fun. We also celebrated positive choices at our first PBIS Rewards Day! 🎉
As we head into Week 6, we want to share a reminder about our upcoming practice lockdown drill. In cooperation with the Lake in the Hills Police Department, students and staff will practice the steps they would follow in the unlikely event of a safety threat. Students will stay with their regular teachers, practice in age-appropriate ways, and have an opportunity to ask questions.
The drill will not include a simulation of a shooting or active shooter event. Read more about the drill here. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our Chesak Cheetahs safe! Together, we are growing Bright Minds, Kind Hearts, and making a Big Impact!
Let’s keep adding color, kindness, and Cheetah pride as we shine into week six!!
#KindnessColorsOurSchool🎨 #BeKind💛 #BeBrave💪 #BeYou😊
With gratitude,
Roshaunda Henson
