Principal’s Message

We had an amazing time watching our 4th grade musical performance! Students were able to see the performance during the day and families came in the evening. We had a full house and it was so nice to all be together for this group of students’ first musical performance at Chambers. A big shout out to Mrs. Van Soest for the amazing work she does every day with all of our students

Assistant Principal’s Message

Hello Chambers families!

Thank you for another great week! I hope many of you were able to enjoy the 4th grade musical performance. It was a phenomenal show!!

 

As a school, we will continue to work to pursue our goal of having 95% of all students at school daily. This is in connection with the Washington State attendance laws (RCW 28A-27). I understand that many families have not experienced the Washington State attendance expectations due to the COVID-19 shut down. When schools were shut down and then reopened, the attendance guidelines were not enforced due to the contagious levels of COVID-19. As this school year reopened, and safety measures were loosened, the attendance expectations were re-established along with the expectation that all school districts follow those guidelines.

​

About ⅓ of our daily absences are related to illnesses, as reported by families. The other ⅔ of daily absences are the ones we are targeting to seek improvement on. I want to ensure families facing extended sickness feel supported and cared for. We can implement plans to help families that require accommodations for extended absences or medical accommodations for students with individual needs and concerns. If your student is sick, we understand when you decide to keep them home according to our UPSD policies. We understand that, on occasion, appointments have to be made during a school day, but we ask families to try and make those appointments outside the school day and take vacations during our designated breaks. As spring approaches, we enter the final stretch of our opportunity to influence academic gains. We want to ensure that every student can access rigorous academic instruction at every available moment.

​

Thank you to those families that have participated in attending meetings and kept up with communication around absences. I look forward to our continued growth and improvement.

​

Yours Truly,

Mrs. Vaughan
