⭐️ Grits for Grandparents – Tomorrow! ⭐️

We’re so excited to welcome our wonderful grandparents to Chester Park School of Inquiry for a special breakfast event!

To help things run smoothly, we kindly ask that grandparents arrive with their grandchild if possible. This helps avoid delays waiting for buses to arrive.

September is Attendance Awareness Month and that means we're celebrating the power of showing up to school EVERY day! When you're here, you get to learn new things, see your friends and have fun with teachers. Every day you're present helps you grow and succeed, so let's make this month the best one yet! Remember, everyday counts, and you count too!

Look out for:
Morning Announcements
Parental flyers
Posters

Join us on Monday, September 8th for Grits for Grandparents!

September is Suicide Prevention Month. During this month, we would like to promote awareness, understanding, and hope. We will share ideas with students around kindness, belonging, asking for help, and taking care of their feelings. If you or someone you know needs support now, call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org (more info can be found here as well). Remember, here at Inquiry, YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!

We were so glad to have De’Imari Cockrell and Trevais Wilmore from the Chester Cyclones Football Team join us this morning as Greeters in our carline. They did a wonderful job. Go Cycs!

Huge congratulations to Avery Smith in Ms. Graham's 2nd grade class! She has been selected as the Student of the Month in PE for the month of September. Avery always displays the best attitude and is truly the definition of a team player. Keep up the great work, Avery — we are SO proud of you, Shining Star! 🌟

Ms. Adkins’ class had a cooking lesson today and made elephant pancakes!
