A Message from Mr. McCall
Dear Chatfield Families,
I hope this message finds you well and you’re settling into the new school year with excitement and enthusiasm. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt congratulations and share some wonderful news with our incredible Chatfield community.
As we embark on another academic year, I am thrilled to announce that Chatfield has achieved a significant milestone. Each year, the Colorado Department of Education evaluates schools based on student growth and achievement, ranking them in one of four categories: Performance, Improvement, Priority Improvement, and Turnaround.
I am delighted to share that for the third consecutive year, Chatfield has earned the highest ranking—Performance! This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, and staff, as well as the unwavering support of our families.
Woot! Woot! 🎉
Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to our school's success. Let’s carry this momentum forward and make this school year the best one yet.
Warm regards,
David McCall
Principal- Chatfield Elementary School

Respect at Chatfield
Respect creates positive emotions for yourself and others. Being respectful means you act in a way that shows you care how your action may make others feel.
Learning Targets:
“I can show respect to my community by accepting my responsibilities and demonstrating them through my actions.”
“I can show respect to myself and others by accepting my actions, mistakes, and abilities.”
