100th Day Fun!

We celebrated 100th day in style at Chadron Primary School.  Walking around the building you could see ties, headbands, activities, and many other celebrations to commemorate the 100th day of school.  We are 100 days smarter, kinder, safer, more respectful, and more responsible.  We are so proud of our students - keep up the GREAT work!

CSC Football Players and Parents help with Read Naturally Lab

Members of the Chadron State College Football Team have been volunteering their time to help out in our Read Naturally Lab.  These gentlemen visit our Primary Building every week to listen to our kindergarten students read and assist them in reading fluency and comprehension.  We also have a dedicated set of parents who volunteer their time as well.  Thank you Parents, Coach Larson, and CSC Football!

First Grade Readers

What a delight to have a group of first grade readers share with me some of their new vocabulary.  These words are quite incredible when you consider these kiddos are 6 & 7 years old!!  We are so excited about our new Wonders Reading curriculum and how much progress our students are making. Here are the first graders rocking the vocabulary cards and definitions in my office:  splendid, special, relief, appearance, predicament, determined, and feature.  WOWZA!!

Cardinals Committed

The Primary Building would like to thank Mr. Mack and the Cardinals Committed group from the high school who visited our lunchroom.  These high school students continue to make good choices and set such an amazing example for our little people.  We get so thrilled to have them visit and the connections they make with our students is long lasting.  Thanks again for coming over, we look forward to your next visit!!

Martin Luther King Jr. March

Our children were fortunate to be a part of Chadron State College's annual Martin Luther King Jr. March on Monday, January 16, 2017.  Our students joined with students from CSC, Job Corps, Intermediate, Middle, and High schools on a march up to the CSC Chicoine Center where Dr. David Nesheim and other organizers put on an outstanding program.  We heard from our Superintendent of Schools, as well as other speakers and singers from the Middle and High Schools along with guest speakers from Colorado.  We would like to thank Dr. Nesheim and Chadron State College for hosting the event and inviting us to be a part of the celebrations.

Health Screenings

2016-2017 Chadron Public Schools

Health Screenings

Dear Parents/Guardians:

We wanted to let you know the 2016-2017 Chadron Public Schools Health Screenings will be held on January  18 and 19, 2017.  January 18th will be 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades and January 19th will be 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th grades.  These are routine school days so we will be pulling your child’s class for a short time to complete a vision screening (provided by Lions Club), a hearing screening (provided by Lions Club),  dental screening (provided by CAPWIN dental) and Blood Pressure, Height, Weight and BMI (body mass index) screenings.  These screenings are not only a requirement by the State of Nebraska but also very important in early diagnosis of potential barriers in a student’s ability to learn and grow!

If you do not want your child/ren to participate in the free screenings, you will need to come to the school and sign a waiver.  Due to the screenings being a state requirement, we will need you to provide the school with documented results from your private provider (hgt, wgt, BMI and BP), from your private eye doctor the results of a vision screening, from your private dentist the results of a dental screening and from your private hearing specialist the results of a hearing screening by March 1, 2017.  

Please let us know if you have any questions.
