Off to a Great Start!

Dear CHIPS Families,

Our school year is off to a great start! It's been so nice to see both new and returning students learning and having fun. Thank you for all that you have done to help our return to school go smoothly. We're looking forward to an amazing year!

A couple of reminders about arrival/dismissal:

Please do not pass busses if their lights are flashing and/or stop signs are on.
If you are in the car drop off/pick up line, please stay in your vehicle until a staff member comes to your car.
The CHIPS driveway is one way. Please enter on the left side of the building and drive around to our drop off/pickup area.

GREETINGS to all our new families and for those who have returned!

It has been wonderful to see the excitement during the first couple of weeks. Throughout the year I will be sharing information - sometimes with fun family activities as well as up to date medical information. I have included the Chelmsford District's Health Page so you may save and refer to as guidelines throughout the school year. On this page you will find Covid Protocols, Health/Medical Forms, our 'When to Stay out of School' Policies and a vast array of helpful information. Please know that protocols may change often, and we (and the website) will keep you updated accordingly.

Please use our absence line (978-251-5188 Option 0) to report your child's absence from school and be sure to state the reason for the absence (illness, appointment, travel, etc).

Nurse Kristen can be reached by calling the CHIPS main number (978-251-5188) and selecting option 3.

CHIPS Little Free Library

Our CHIPS Little Free Library- such a fun way to help foster a love of reading in our preschoolers! Feel free to stop by with your child and borrow a book! Please remember to return the book when you are finished:) If you have books at home that you would like to donate, please put them in the Little Library or send them into CHIPS with your child. Thank you!!
