Dear Chippewa Community,   

We hope the summer is going well and our kids are outside, enjoying the great weather as well as taking some time to read every day and keep those skills sharp.  It will be September before we know it and another great year at Chippewa.

Last year we invited every grade student to drop off their supplies before school.  The feedback from our parents and kids was very positive, so we will be looking to do it again. Parents followed the designated time for drop off which made this such a successful event.   I am confident that our families will follow the assigned times and so this will continue as an annual activity. This will occur on Wednesday, September 3rd.  

Please remember that we have meetings throughout the day and teachers are extremely busy getting ready for the first day of school.  This will not be a time to speak with teachers about specific concerns regarding children or visiting favorite teachers from previous years.  I greatly appreciate you following this process, so this will run smoothly and alleviate any concerns of your children bringing in so many supplies in their backpack.  

Please see the schedule below.  If you are unable to attend at your designated time, you can drop off your materials in a bag labeled with your children’s names  on it and leave it with the main office.  We will get it to your children’s classroom.

Kindergarten 9:00 - 9:15
First Grade 9:20 - 9:35
Second Grade 9:40 - 9:55
Third Grade 10:00 - 10:15
Fourth Grade 10:20 - 10:35
Fifth Grade 10:40 - 10:55

Warmest wishes,
Michael S. Saidens
