Tuesday, August 11th

Good Morning! It's a great day at Chandler's School. We just completed the morning meeting, just a reminder that all parents are welcome and encouraged to join the excitement in the gym from 7:30-7:40. Also, to clear up any confusion, parents/guardians are still allowed to walk students to the classrooms in the mornings.

If you are picking up your child inside the school building in the afternoons, please note that we need you to follow your child to the cafeteria and exit in the car rider area rather than taking them out of line in the front lobby. This may be a bit inconvenient, but it is school policy and simply a means of providing the most protection for your child.

The SBDM committee will meet this afternoon at 4 p.m. The committee is in charge of directing and guiding all school decisions.

Middle school football kicks off this Thursday with a home game against Butler County Middle. Good luck to the team!

Just a note for parents: the early dismissal on Fridays provides a window of opportunity for the teachers to meet and improve the instruction for your children. Last Friday, nearly all teachers were still working hard at 4 p.m.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

First Friday!!

Good morning! As the third day of school begins, Chandlers is proud to report that it has amazing students thus far. Everyone seems to be settling in and adapting to the new BEARS expectations. Classrooms have been active with student engagement.

The Positive Behavior Supports system now in place at Chandlers provides a platform for teachers, staff, and students to focus on productive behaviors and most importantly celebrate the types of behaviors that model good citizenship, and we plan to do a lot of celebrating this year for academic, athletic, and behavioral accomplishments.

The discipline system involves a rather simple method:
1st Teacher Warning
2nd Minor Referral and Parent Contact (referral kept by teacher)
3rd 3 Minor Referrals = a Major Referral to a Principal

*Every 4 1/2 weeks minor referrals start over for students.
*All serious infractions are immediately reported to a principal.

Naturally, the doors of Chandler's School are always open so please feel free to visit any time. Also, be sure to come experience the newest addition: Morning Meeting, everyday in the gym, from 7:30-7:40!

Have a great Friday and wonderful weekend!

The 2009-2010 School Year Underway

As the cars rolled in and buses pulled up to Chandler's, over four-hundred faces entered the building anxious to begin the new school year. Kindergarten parents were treated to a Boo-hoo/Yahoo Breakfast to celebrate the transition, while the remaining students slipped into a relaxed first day by dismissing at one.


In order to serve the students of Chandler's School better, a Positive Behavior Supports (PBS) system will be in place and strive to bring consistency, rewards, and recognition throughout the building. The school's motto will be displayed as follows:

Be responsible

Engage in learning

Achieve academic excellence

Respect everyone

Stay safe


More information will be forthcoming in later posts.

Thanks to all students and staff for such a great first day!!
