4th Grade Clap Out

• All classes please line the hallway at 11:35.
• 4th-grade classes will process down the hallway and go down the stairwell near 201 to the first floor, walk down the first-floor hallway to the community entrance stairwell and go up to the third floor, walk down the hallway and go down the stairwell near 301 to the second floor, and then back down the second floor for dismissal.

Please encourage your students to cheer, clap, and give high fives. With the obvious reminder to stay under control and be respectful that this is the 4th grade students’ time to shine.

Once the 4th graders pass, you can go back inside your classroom and begin your dismissal routine. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Please read the field day logistics email.

1st email sent by KStew on 5/29 @ 9:50

After lunch, we will enjoy school-wide movie time and popcorn in homerooms!

A parent who works at a movie theatre is donating buckets and popcorn, which we will pass out during the movie.

HERE is a folder of movies you can select from to watch with your class. I recommend downloading them first instead of playing them over the internet.

Please reach out with questions.

End of Year- Parent Square

Happy almost end of the year! As we approach the last day of school, we wanted to share with our teachers some important information about ParentSquare as it pertains to the end of the school year.

Friday, June 28, is our district’s “archive posts date”. What does this mean? On this date, your posts sent to your classes will be archived, and you will no longer be able to post to your classes from this school year. Your permissions will resume when you are associated with active classes for the 2024-25 school year.

Teachers will retain access to posts that they authored. This slide deck pertaining to archiving and end-of-year information is available for teachers to review. If you have any questions about the archiving process, please contact your school’s administration. Communications Director Michael Sullivan and the District’s Digital Literacy coaches are also available for additional support.

Our district and schools will still be able to post to schools, grade levels, and groups all summer long. However, accurate school enrollment and class rosters for next school year will not be available until after rollover occurs in August and schedules are committed on ASPEN. Teachers will be notified by their administration once they are able to access their classes for the 2024-25 school year.

During the summer months, if you have any questions pertaining to ParentSquare, please contact your school administration or CPS Communications Director Michael Sullivan at sullivanm@chelseaschools.com.

Hello Everyone,

We are reaching out to share directions for the end of the school year classroom digital/technology clean up. These slides are a guide for end of the year digital clean up of digital platforms and information about what to do with the technology supplies in your classrooms such as the macbooks, headphones. 

Please fill out this form by June 12 to confirm that you have completed all of the necessary technology-related end-of-year procedures and to provide us with some information about technology materials such as chromebooks. Thank you!

Remotes for projectors/camera and pens will be collected in a bin in the office when checking out. You will receive a ziploc bag with a checklist. This will ensure that these items do not go missing over summer. Headphones will remain with the carts. Sort headphones into 2 piles – working and broken and label.
