Chester Elementary School

Dear CES Family,

Week three is in the books! Amazing. Before I get started, a quick note about the picture of the flags and the rainbow: Mrs. O'Kelley captured this image after our Back-to-School Night last Tuesday. Look closely and you'll see a double rainbow.

OK, a few things for you:

• A reminder about fingerprinting and volunteering at PUSD schools: Fingerprinting is mandatory if you wish to drive any CES student on a field trip. THANK YOU for being willing to support us in this way. Many of you were fingerprinted last year and another reminder that you only need to do it once during your time as a parent at CES. Still need to be fingerprinted? We have a free, on-campus opportunity for you to do so. District Office staff will be on our campus on Tuesday, September 16th, from 12:15 PM to 3:30 PM. We do ask that you sign up in advance by contacting Cheyne Gerbatz at 530-258-3194 / ext. 1201 or via email at cgerbatz@pcoe.k12.ca.us.
• Newsletter navigation tip: hover over any section of the newsletter click on the icon with the four arrows to see any given image or attachment in full size (great feature for the picture collages in particular).
• If your student rides a bike to school, please make sure that he or she wears a helmet. I realize that some of our students spent the summer riding bikes without helmets, but it is the law and we are a public school, so the law applies. Thanks for helping us out with this.

Sincerely,

Scott Cory

Principal

We love having your kids at school and really want to see them on campus every day! That being said, sickness happens and there are times when it's best for students to stay home . The image included with this article was created for PUSD staff and families in order to provide criteria for when it's OK to be and school and when it's better to stay home (click on the image to access and download it). We hope that you find this helpful. Please don't hesitate to contact our school nurse, Jessica Logan, via email (the easiest way to make contact) at jlogan@pcoe.k12.ca.us with any questions you may have about this or other things like medications at school.
