Kindergarten Parent Information Meeting Scheduled for March 15th

     An informational meeting for parents of potential Kindergarten students for the 2016-2017 school year will be held on Tuesday, March 15th, at 6:00 P.M., at the Chadron Primary School Gym.  During the meeting, parents will be given information regarding requirements for enrolling their child in Kindergarten. Parents will also have the opportunity to "unofficially" enroll their child, to meet the Kindergarten teachers and other school personnel, and to ask any questions that they may have about health requirements, registration, and/or their child's kindergarten experience.
     We highly encourage parents to attend.  However, if this meeting does not work in their schedule, packets can be picked up at a later date at Chadron Primary School or Chadron High School.  Parents may also call Chadron Primary at 432-0710 or Trisha Berry at Chadron High School at 432-0707 if they have questions.

Chadron Primary P-T Conferences Scheduled for February 4th

     Parent-Teacher Conferences for parents of Chadron Primary Students will be held on Thursday, February 4th, from 3:00-7:00 P.M.  Letters were sent home this past week to inform parents which school personnel need to conference with them.  Please note that teachers are not needing to conference with every parent.  However, parents may request a conference and teachers will gladly schedule a conference with them.
     Parents will need to call the school office to schedule a conference if their letter indicated that a conference has been requested.  Parents need to do so as soon as possible as time slots are filling up quickly. If parents are not able to make the times scheduled for conferences, their child's teacher(s) will gladly schedule a conference at a time agreed upon by both parties.
     Mrs. Libby Uhing and Mrs. Tara Hoffman have other commitments on the night of the scheduled conferences but are holding their conferences on Monday, February 1st, from 3:00-7:00 P.M.   Parents of the students in those classrooms will need to follow the same format as parents of students in the other classrooms. They will also be required to call the school office for an appointment.
     School will be dismissed at 1:30 on Thursday, February 4th.  Parents are asked to pick up their child(ren) at that time as some conferences have been scheduled at 1:30 to accommodate parents.  The Just for Kids After School Program will not be in session on that evening; so please plan accordingly.
     There will not be any school on Friday, February 5th, for students in K-4 grades only.  We hope to see many of the parents at conferences.

       School personnel will be available in the hallways to direct the students to a classroom where they will remain until they go on stage.  The classrooms will have a sign with the Kindergarten teacher's name outside the door.  At the conclusion of the program, parents can pick their child up in the same room that their child was dropped off.
     We hope to see you and your family at the program.   School will be dismissed at 1:30 P.M. on Wednesday, December 23, and will resume on Tuesday, January 5, 2016.  We want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
