It was another great week at Chambers! One special highlight was kindergarten’s field trip to the pumpkin patch. Students enjoyed learning outside the classroom, exploring the farm, and making wonderful fall memories with their classmates.

Thank you to our kindergarten staff and family volunteers who helped make the trip safe, smooth, and fun. Experiences like these are possible because of the time, care, and partnership of our Chambers community!

Throughout October, we are sharing open ended questions that can help you learn more about your child’s school experience. This week’s question focuses on problem solving and perseverance.

“What was something tricky for you today, and what did you do?”

You might also follow up with: “Did you keep trying, try a new way, or ask someone for help?”

Gratefully serving Chambers students, staff and community,

Mrs. Gann

Dear Chambers Primary Families,

Safety is always our top priority, and this week our students and staff participated in The Great ShakeOut! This annual earthquake drill gave our Champs the opportunity to practice essential emergency procedures and review what to do in the event of an earthquake. We are looking forward to another great week. Keep reading for more information related to attendance and social emotional learning at Chambers.

Conferences are around the corner! Every day on the week of October 26-30, school will release at 12:15pm. 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.

Teachers have posted conference sign ups so please be sure to select a time to come learn about your student's progress so far this year.

University Place School District wants your feedback on the Curtis High School renovation project!  What would you retain from the current buildings, and what new features would you include? What do you want the new construction to look like, and how would you like it to feel when you walk inside? Future Vikings, parents, staff, and community members are all invited to share their thoughts on the upgrades to Curtis High School. Click here to take the survey.

Hello, Chambers families! 🐾
