Main Street Roar

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Main Street students were busy representing our school with excellence last week! Our Main Street Spelling Bee winners competed in the CUSD Spelling Bee, and we are incredibly proud of their outstanding performance. In addition, several of our 5th grade students proudly participated in Chester City’s Heritage Bowl, showcasing their knowledge and school pride. Way to represent, Tigers! 🐯

Thank you to all families who attended our Afterschool Black History Program and PTO meeting. Your presence and partnership truly make a difference in strengthening our school community.

📅 School Closure Reminder

Please note:

Monday, February 23, 2026 – School will be closed due to the winter storm.

Please stay safe and warm.

📵 Policy Reminder – Cell Phones

Please be reminded that cell phone usage is not permitted during school hours. If a student is found using a cell phone, the device will be confiscated in accordance with school policy. We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a focused, distraction-free learning environment for all students.

📈 Attendance Matters!

Our yearly goal for average attendance is 90%. Due to recent illnesses and inclement weather, our attendance rate decreased to 65% last week. Let’s keep moving upward — we can do it!

Regular attendance is one of the most important factors in your child’s academic success. Students who attend school daily are more likely to stay on track, build strong learning habits, and make meaningful growth in reading and math.

How you can help:

✅ Ensure your child arrives at school on time each morning
✅ Avoid early dismissals whenever possible
✅ Schedule appointments after school hours when possible
✅ Remember — every minute of instruction counts!

Let’s work together to reach our attendance goal and continue building a strong school community.

Thank you for your continued support of Main Street Elementary School.

Warm regards,
Ms. D. Medley
Principal, Main Street Elementary School

Proud to serve our amazing school community! 💛
