Thank you to everyone who attended our general PTA meeting! Your time, ideas, and involvement help make Chambers a stronger community for all students and families. If you are looking for ways to become more involved, our PTA offers a variety of opportunities to fit different interests and schedules. Whether you can help occasionally, support an event, or take on a larger role, there is a place for you. We appreciate your partnership and hope you will consider getting involved!

Talking with your child about school helps you stay connected to their learning, friendships, successes, and challenges. However, questions like “How was your day?” often lead to one word answers. Each week in October I will share an open ended question you can use to encourage a more meaningful conversation about your child’s school experience.

“What is one new thing you learned today?”

You can also follow up with: “Who or what helped you learn it?”

Gratefully serving Chambers students, staff and community,

Mrs. Gann

Dear Chambers Primary Families,

It was great seeing so many of our families at our first PTA meeting of the year! Your involvement and ideas make a huge difference to our school community. We also loved seeing our students' excitement during Popcorn Friday, which was a definite highlight for everyone and brought so much fun to the end of the week. Thank you for your continued partnership and for everything you do to make Chambers Primary such a wonderful place for our students to learn and grow! 

In Partnership, 

Ms. Catie Bartley

We will be asking for 3rd and 4th grade students to reflect on their own mindsets and approaches to learning via an online survey with Panorama. This Social Emotional Learning (SEL) survey provides us with data as we work within school committees to improve the experiences of students and families and design support systems for students.  If a student doesn’t feel like they have enough information to answer a question, they will be able to skip the item altogether. If you would like to opt your child out of this survey, please let us know by emailing or calling the contact below. The students’ individual responses to these surveys will be confidential with individual student data, or answers, only available to administrators and counselors. 

Grade level or school-wide data is shared with the school board and staff to help us identify areas for improvement and areas of progress.  Panorama data is used to help us continuously improve as a system.  Guidance from school board policy leads us to help students become safe, contributing citizens who demonstrate successful social and emotional skills. Panorama is just one more tool toward these ends.

If you have any questions about the SEL survey or would like to see a copy of the survey questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at (253) 566-5650, via ParentSquare, or email at cbartley@upsd83.org.

Conferences are around the corner! Every day on the week of October 26-30, school will release at 11:10am. Please be sure to have arrangements for your student to be picked up on time. Buses will drop off approximately 3.5 hours earlier than the typical time.
