From the Desk of the Directors
We hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving break! We are excited about what the next
few weeks hold for Chat eld students and staff.

First, we continue to focus on exceptional academic student performance. Students should be
reading 20 or more minutes each night at home. Students should also be working on math
facts or math homework at home . It is important that time is dedicated at home for school
work and learning.

The Book Fair is happening this week and we encourage you to check it out and purchase a
few books. Your support of the Book Fair in turn supports the Chat eld library.
In December we have the P.I.E. Santa Shop coming up. If you would like to help out, the set up
is on Tuesday, December 11 at 6:00pm in the library. The shop will be open Wednesday through
Friday, Dec. 12-14. Details to follow.

Basketball season is upon us. The middle school girl’s teams have begun practice. Boys
teams will be starting up soon. Chat eld Youth Basketball Program promises to be better than
ever this year. Please sign your rst through fourth graders up. This program will provide
students with the fun of the games and also develop strong skills to be able to play basketball
in the future or just for fun. We also have a lunchtime 3 on 3 series starting in January that our
upper elementary and middle school students.

Parenting with Love and Logic Classes are coming in January. Having both participated in
these classes with our spouses we can attest to the value they will bring to your family. We
strongly encourage parents to participate. See the yer in this newsletter. These classes,
while being sponsored by Chat eld, are open to the public.

Holiday time is a special time, but it can also be a bit stressful for some children and families.
If your family is in need please let Mr. Kraly know. There are people that would like to help out.

Chatfield Archery Team
Join the Chat eld Archery Team! Intro to Archery Night is Friday, November 30th at 6:00 p.m.
The rst practice is December 7th. Team membership dictates that all archers should attend

all practices. Please see the yer attached to this newsletter

                                 Cold Weather Outerwear
                                 Now that the cold weather seems to be here to stay, please
                                 make sure that your children are prepared for the outdoors
                                 during the school day. It is important that they have hats,
                                 gloves, warm coats, snowpants and boots. If you have a need
                                 for any of these items, please contact Mr. Kraly.

Chatfield Scholastic Book Fair is
Here!
Due to the snowday, The Chat eld Book Fair will begin on
Tuesday, November 27th. What a great opportunity to begin your
Christmas shopping!

Box Tops for Education
Please do not forget to keep clipping Box Tops for Education!
Your support of this program earns the school money and
allows us Chat eld P.I.E. the opportunity to do great things for
Chat eld kids!

SCHOOL CLOSING INFORMATION
Now that we have had our rst school closing, Chat eld wants to make sure that you have
access to school closing information. As you know, the weather and roads
can be an issue this time of year. Mr. Kraly and Mr.

Young want you to know that they are always concerned about
the safety of the students and parents. We will be working with
the superintendents from other local school districts and the
Lapeer Intermediate School District to determine the conditions
around the county.

If your local district is closed that does not mean that Chat eld
is closed. The school directors will make the determination as
early as possible and send out messages
via:
Radio: WWJ 950, WJR 760, WMPC 1230
Television: Fox 2, Local 4, ABC 7, WWJTV CBS,
CW 50, ABC 12
Internet: www.chat eldschool.org
Skylert School Messenger: Parents can adjust their contact preferences, E-mail, Text, Phone
Call, by going into Skyward Family Access and clicking on the Skylert tab.

As a general rule of thumb Chat eld School does not have early release on days where the
weather and roads become worse during the day. We will provide updates regarding the status
of evening activities by posting them to the school website.

Road conditions can vary around the county and on different surfaces so as always use your
best judgment and safety when determining if you should drive to school. Safety is always our
 rst priority.

PIE Santa's Shop
The Santa's Shop is coming in December. We are in need of
crafts that you would like to donate that can be sold. In the past
we have had many families donate great items to sell! Please
help out! If you would please consider helping at the shop
please sign up at:

Chatfield's Treat Street is Coming!
On Wednesday, December 19 we will have a special day with
reindeer visiting, horse-drawn trolley rides, and treats to enjoy.
Please remember us when doing your holiday baking and please
send in 1 to 2 dozen special treats on that day. Thank you!
