Dear Chapel Glen Families,
We hope that everyone had a wonderful two weeks of Fall
Break! The students have been sharing all of the fun
things that they participated in over break. Thank you to all parents that attended
parent/teacher conferences! We had a wonderful turnout this year! If you have not had
the chance to meet with your child’s teacher for your conference, please contact them as
soon as possible to set that up.
We hope that you will continue to work with your child’s teacher throughout the year to
help identify activities that can be completed at home to help support learning, and continue to monitor your child’s progress in the Skyward system. Please communicate with
the classroom teacher if you have any questions regarding grades or attendance. All
classroom teachers are very intentional about posting weekly grades and making sure
you are as up-to-date as possible with your child’s progress. If you need assistance in
finding your username and password please contact your child’s teacher and we will
be happy to assist you.
Students are continuing to follow the STAR Guidelines and earn stars on their Star
Cards. We will continue with our school-wide positive behavior opportunities. In December we will have our second quarter Star Card Celebration. Please continue to
praise your child for following the school procedures and encourage them to find new
ways to be a Chapel Glen All Star!
With the holidays right around the corner, there is no better time to stop and thank our
parents for all you do. We appreciate the time you spend supporting your child’s education and for working with your child’s teacher to create the most effective learning environment for your child. We couldn’t do what we do without
you, so thank you again for allowing us to work with your
child each and every day.
Warmly,
Marc Coapstick and Emily Marshall

Estimadas familias Chapel Glen,
Esperamos que todos hayan tenido un maravilloso dos
semanas de vacaciones de otoño! Los estudiantes han estado compartiendo todas
las cosas divertidas que participaron en más de descanso. ¡Gracias a todos los que
asistieron a las conferencias de padres /maestros! Tuvimos una maravillosa participación este año! Si usted no ha tenido la oportunidad de reunirse con el maestro(a)
de su hijo(a) para su conferencia, por favor, póngase en contacto con ellos tan
pronto como sea posible para poner esto en marcha.
Esperamos que van a seguir trabajando con el maestro(a) de su hijo(a) durante todo el año para ayudar a identificar las actividades que se pueden realizar en casa
para ayudar a apoyar el aprendizaje, y seguirá de cerca el progreso de su hijo(a) en
el sistema Skyward”. Por favor comunicarse con el maestro(a) si tiene alguna pregunta acerca de las calificaciones o la asistencia. Todos los maestros son muy intencionales sobre la publicación de las calificaciones semanales y asegurarse de
que está lo más al día posible con el progreso de su hijo(a). Si necesita ayuda para
encontrar su nombre de usuario y contraseña por favor, póngase en contacto con el
maestro(a) de su hijo(a) y vamos a ayudarle.
Los estudiantes continúan siguiendo a las guías de STAR y ganar estrellas en sus
tarjetas de las tarjetas de estrella. Vamos a seguir con nuestras oportunidades de
comportamiento positivo en toda la escuela. En diciembre tendremos nuestro segundo trimestre celebración de la estrella. Por favor continúe a alabar a su hijo para seguir los procedimientos de la escuela y animarles a encontrar nuevas maneras
de ser una Chapel Glen All Star!
Con las vacaciones a la vuelta de la esquina, no hay mejor momento para parar y
dar gracias a nuestros padres por todo lo que hacen. Apreciamos el tiempo que pasa apoyo a la educación de su hijo y para trabajar con el maestro
de su niño para crear el ambiente de aprendizaje más eficaz para
su niño. No podríamos hacer lo que hacemos sin ti, así que gracias
de nuevo por lo que nos permite trabajar con su hijo(a) todos los
días.
Con gusto,
Sr. Marc Coapstick y Sra. Emily Marshall
Notes From the Nurse:
Is your student struggling in Math? Do they need some extra practice?
Check out these websites for fun math practice!
We always recommend that parents check out the websites before allowing kids to access them. Things
change fast in cyber space and what is safe for kids one day may not be safe the next. If these don’t seem
to interest your student, just google “math practice”. You will be amazed at what you can find. Again, we
recommend that parents check out websites BEFORE the children use them. Better safe than sorry.

Notes from the Media Center
Strategies for Creating a Strong Password
During weekly library specials this school year, students in grades 3 through 6 have focused on different computer skills to ensure that they are good digital citizens. Computers have become a standard way of communicating in our society. We want to ensure that our students are safe and making good digital decisions that may
not only affect them now but also later on in life. Information that they leave about themselves creates a digital
trail. This is referred to as their digital footprint. One such skill we worked on in library specials was creating a
strong password. Students were asked to share these strategies with family members at home. We thought all of
our Chapel Glen families might appreciate the following information:
DO’s*
• DO share your password only with your parents.
• DO create passwords with at least eight characters.
• DO use combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols.
• DO change your password regularly – at least every six months.
DON’Ts*
• DON’T give a password to anyone else – not even your friends.
• DON’T use passwords that are easy for
people you know to guess, like your nickname, birthday, address, phone number or
your pet’s name.
• DON’T use any private information in
your password.
• DON’T use a word in the dictionary as a
password.
FITNESSGRAM is a comprehensive fitness assessment consisting of five health related activities. One of these five tests is the PACER. The PACER assesses cardiovascular
fitness. Research indicates that acceptable levels of aerobic capacity are associated with reduced health risks.
A new school record was established in the PACER test. Sixth grade student,
Ethan Gossett, scored 90 laps during the aerobic assessment. The prior record
was 85 laps. Congratulations Ethan!
