Our wonderful librarian wanted some important information regarding checked out items shared with you. Please read the below information carefully.- WRITE YOUR NAME AND THE DATE IN INK in the space provided inside the front cover of the Social Studies textbook.

Please have your teacher report any damage immediately so it may be entered into our library system. FAILURE TO DO THIS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR MAY RESULT IN A CHARGE FOR DAMAGE TO THE TEXTBOOK AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

We encourage all families to purchase a Chromebook cover to help protect the Chromebook from any scratches or damage. To know which cover to buy, you can flip over the Chromebook and read the model number on the underside of the Chromebook. An example is shown below. You are looking for where it says "HP Chromebook __ __."
Cultural Fun Fact
August 19th is World Humanitarian Day, an international day created by the United Nations to recognize and honor aid workers and humanitarians who risk everything to help people in need. Each year, WHD focuses on a theme, bringing together partners from across the humanitarian system to advocate for the survival, well-being and dignity of people affected by crises, and for the safety and security of aid workers. This year, the theme is #NoMatterWhat, honoring how humanitarian workers serve "no matter who, no matter where, and #NoMatter What." For more information, visit the UN's World Humanitarian Day website.
Chilton Core Values
Chilton's August Core Value is RESPECT.
At Chilton:
We believe respectful behavior means showing courtesy, admiration or thoughtfulness to someone or to something. When we practice treating others with respect, we will receive respect in return. Respect means understanding and behaving as if we are all unique, capable and valuable.
Talk with your child about what RESPECT means to your family!
Student Parent Handbook 2023-2024
Attendance
When students are absent, they miss participating in discovery, student discourse, and the friendships made inside and outside the classroom through play and collaborative learning. Knowledge and understanding are more than being able to complete a worksheet; it is connecting new knowledge with concepts known previously to construct new meaning and sharing explanations of what is learned. Our teachers want to celebrate students and peers attending school in person and gaining knowledge.
Please be reminded that our upcoming vacation days for Trimester 1 are:
- Monday, September 4th (Labor Day)
- Monday and Tuesday, October 30-31 (Teacher Workday/No Students)
Please try and schedule appointments on non-school days and after school. If your child will be absent for an extended period, please visit our district website or contact the school's front office to set up a short-term independent study contract. We want to ensure that students can keep up with schoolwork as best as possible.Reporting Absences

Deliveries, Food Drop-offs, and Messages to Students
Parents are NOT PERMITTED to bring in or drop off any food or drink (including water bottles). This includes food delivery services. Lunches are offered for free, so any forgotten lunch can be supplemented by cafeteria offerings. We also have multiple water fountains in classrooms and around campus for students to use.
Items delivered or left in the office by parents will not be delivered to students. Students will not be notified of items in the office and it is the responsibility of the student to come to the office during lunch or passing periods to pick up items. We will only deliver emergency messages to students.
Traffic Reminders
- Please follow all traffic and parking laws.
- Please do not park in front of other's driveways, garages, or designated no parking areas around the campus (including the bus loop) and surrounding neighborhood.
- Please make sure to obey instructions from the Crossing Guards (California Vehicle Code 2815).
Please no parking in the middle of the parking lot. This causes traffic back ups and doesn't allow others to pull out of their parking spots safely and efficiently.
