This Week at Chipman: April 14, 2008

  • It’s that time of year again when we plan for our annual STAR Picnic!  As in the past we will host a lunchtime picnic in order to celebrate the preparation, effort and participation students and teachers made on the STAR test.  All students who have perfect attendance during the star-testing window (beginning April 21 through May 2nd) will receive a ticket to the picnic event (all other students will eat lunch in the cafeteria).  Go Chargers!
  • Tuesday April 21, 2008 is the beginning of STAR testing through May 2, 2008.  It is very important to be PRESENT, RESTED, AND ON TIME for testing.  All students should be ready and in class by 7:37 a.m.   All doctor or dental appointments should be scheduled after STAR testing.  Keep in mind that during STAR testing there are No Interruptions, No Exceptions!  The office staff will not call (page) anyone and no one will be allowed to go into the classroom to retrieve a student.
  • Regretfully NYSP will not be funded this summer.  Thank you to all of the students who showed interest in the program and took the time to fill out the packet.  Thanks again and sorry about the disappointment.  Mrs. Dinsmore
